The Ras Laffan Petrochemicals Project — RLPP is an integrated petrochemical complex located in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar. The project includes the development of an ethane cracker with an annual ethylene capacity of approximately 2.08 million tonnes, together with two downstream HDPE units. The project is designed to expand Qatar’s petrochemical production capacity by increasing the output of ethylene and polymer products, mainly targeting international export markets.
LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE (LAB) is a Sonatrach petrochemical project for the construction of a new production plant in the Skikda industrial zone, Algeria, approximately 350 km east of Algiers. The facility will produce linear alkyl benzene (LAB) with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes.
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.
