The project consists of two plants: one for producing linear polyethylene (PEL) and another for producing polypropylene (PP), each with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons.
Both plants utilize cutting-edge technologies that ensure top energy efficiency. These technologies are leading in the market and are the first of their kind to be implemented on the Iberian Peninsula.
The world’s largest sea water reverse osmosis desalination plant (RO), boasting a capacity of 200 MIGD (909,200 cubic meters of water per day). This plant surpasses the world’s current largest RO facility by 44% in terms of capacity. The Taweelah plant is poised to establish new benchmarks for water production efficiency and cost, thanks to its utilization of RO technology instead of thermal desalination.
The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.
