Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH, member of The Linde Group, will construct a polypropylene plant with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons in Tobolsk, Western Siberia, for the plastics manufacturer Tobolsk-Polymer LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian company SIBUR Holding JSC. This will be integrated into SIBUR’s new complex to dehydrogenate propane and manufacture polypropylene in Tobolsk. LKCA has already started engineering work. The company plans to deliver large parts of the new plant to Tobolsk in 2010 and 2011 and to go on stream some time mid 2012. Valued at around EUR 450 million, this plant currently ranks as one of the defining investments in the Russian petrochemical industry.

Linde will also be planning and overseeing construction of a gas separation and ethylene plant in West-Siberian Novy Urengoy for the chemicals company Novy Urengoy Gas and Chemical Complex (NGCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian company Gazprom. This project is worth around EUR 47 million for Linde. The ethane cracker will have an annual capacity of around 420,000 tons of ethylene a year. Construction work is already underway here. Ethylene is a key chemical raw material in the production of plastics, for example. NGCC is currently building a chemical complex in Novy Urengoy, where the ethylene generated at the Linde plant will be used to make polyethylene plastics.
