Expansion Of Uzbekistan's Methanol-To-Olefins Gas Chemical Complex Planned with New Production Facility
Using world leading innovative technologies, Uzbekistan's GCC MTO complex (unlike traditional MTO facilities that use less environmental-friendly coal) is designed for deep processing of specific natural gas with a low content of valuable components into high value polymer products with a production capacity of over 1,110,000 tons per year. The company will produce:
Local production will help Uzbekistan reach its goal of diversifying the economy, substitute imports and potentially export products to other regions.
The methanol facility would ensure the sustainable supply of methanol, hydrogen and other industrial gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, which are essential for the MTO gas chemical complex's production processes.
Masrur Shakirov , General Director of the Gas Chemical Complex MTO, said: " ."
The official signing ceremony was held in Tashkent City Congress Hall.
When completed, the Methanol Island facilities would include the following areas:
The MTO gas chemical complex will become the largest producer of polymer products in Central Asia with a capacity of 1100,000 tons / year. The company will produce four types of products: polypropylene (250,000 t / g), low-density polyethylene (80,000 t/g), ethylene vinyl acetate (100,000 t/g) and polyethylene terephthalate (300,000 t/g).
The following companies are working on the MCC MTO project: John Wood Group Plc (UK and Italy ), Air Products ( USA ), Topsoe ( Denmark ), Koch Industries Inc. ( USA ), Chemtex Global Corp. ( USA ), Scientific Design ( USA ), Versalis ( Italy ), Sinopec ( China ) and Grace Catalysts Technologies ( USA ).
