Construction of bottle-grade PET plant at JSC “Mogilevkhimvolokno

 

À. Project opportunity description

À1. Project Name

(à) Short name: Ñonstruction of bottle-grade PET plant.

(b) Full name: Construction of bottle-grade PET plant with a capacity of 120 kt/year at JSC “Mogilevkhimvolokno”, Republic of Belarus.

(c)  Brief description: The project is aimed at purchasing of complete equipment and building of PET (bottle grade) plant, thus increasing capacity of PET production and sales and ensuring export growth.

 

 

A2. Project Status

Pre-investment stage. Negotiations with foreign companies aiming at a development and receipt of their technical-and— commercial proposal are under way. An investor is required.

 

A3. Organizations Involved and Their Roles

(a) Borrower — JSC “Mogilevkhimvolokno”, Republic of Belarus, Mogilev – 35

General Director – Sergey M. Puzevich, Tel.: + 375 222 497412, Fax: + 375 222 322053, 322070

 

À4. Project Description (approaches, aims, components, results, stages, general financing, advantages, influence on transition period in economics, etc.)

The project is planned to be implemented at JSC “Mogilevkhimvolokno” by building a new bottle-grade PET plant.

OAO "Mogilevkhimvolokno" has experience of building and operation of a similar plant – since 2008 the continuous polycondensation plant with a capacity of 80000 t/year has been operated. The project covers purchasing and installation of equipment for PET (bottle grade) production from PTA combined with post-polycondensation, that will ensure bottle-grade PET production bypassing the stages of pelletizing and post-polycondensation at SSP plant.

The feedstock for the plant shall be purified terephthalic acid. Financial and economic estimate under the project was made in euro as on June 1st, 2009 under the conditions of free economic zone "Mogilev".

 

À5. Background/history/overall programme/related or similar projects

As is customary in the world practices, polyester production development is increasingly based on the use of PTA.

Presently the major polyester producers, DuPont (USA) and Hoechst (Germany) (though having their own DMT production capacities which are not in full use) are building their new plants to operate based on PTA.

The currently functioning polycondensation plants of OAO “Mogilevkhimvolokno” were built in 1978 and were based on UHDE (Germany) technology.  Quality indices of PET polymer produced at these plants do not comply with the world standards. JSC “Mogilevkhimvolokno” is implementing a number of investment projects within the period from 2004 to 2010: production of non-woven materials; production of technical yarns including those for the tyre cord; modernization of PET and DMT plants.

A new bottle-grade PET plant will make it possible to reduce the consumption of materials and energy in the polyester production process due to the modern technology to be used.

 

À6. Environmental impact summary

The state-of-the-art equipment and advanced technologies used will allow for a reduction of the total amount of atmospheric emissions. Modern dust and gas collectors will be installed on all gas emission sources. Solid wastes from PET production will be sent to incineration with thermal energy recovery and flue gases purification. Liquid wastes will be treated at the biological purification plant.  The purification plant sludge will be incinerated. The equipment and know-how supplier guarantees that the harmful emissions will be within the maximum allowable concentration limits according to the legislation of the Republic of Belarus.

 

À7. Possible obstacles/ problems/ risk assessment

— Guaranteed products realization both for own consumption and for export;

— Expansion of paraxylene production by the enterprises of the Republic of Belarus.
