Kurdestan Petrochemical selects Basell's Lupotech T technology for a new LDPE plant in Iran
The new plant will be part of NPC's 11th Olefin project. Ethylene feedstock will be supplied from an ethane gas cracker located at Al Assaluyeh. A 1500 kilometre pipeline will connect the cracker with five petrochemical sites located in the western provinces of Iran.
This latest Lupotech T license is the 13th license granted by Basell for projects in Iran. The 13 licenses represent a combined annual capacity of over 3.1 million tones. Other technologies licensed by Basell in Iran include Spherilene, Lupotech G and Hostalen polyethylene technologies; and Spheripol, the world's most widely used polypropylene technology.
