NPP Neftekhimiya: among the best

Basell Poliolefine Italia has included the joint venture of SIBUR and Gazprom Neft in its Top-10 ranking.

In compiling the ranking, Basell Poliolefine Italia S.r.l. compared the facilities that use the Spheripol polyolefin technology. In total, it reviewed 54 facilities around the world, placing NPP Neftekhimiya sixth in the European region.

The assessment was based on a wide range of criteria, such as the number of planned and unplanned stoppages, operation above the nameplate capacity, share of quality products, output, and specific consumption rates of feedstock, power, steam, catalysts, etc.

Among other things, NPP Neftekhimiya took the lead by the share of quality products, boasting a 100% sales rate.

Out of all Russian plants that use the Spheripol technology, NPP Neftekhimiya was the first to install a high-pressure filter for the polymerisation reactor instead of a cyclone, which allowed the company to boost the technological stability of the polymerisation process and energy efficiency, while also reducing unscheduled downtime.
