The Czech Republic’s leading refinery and petrochemical group has chosen INEOS to help it develop its polyethylene business.
Unipetrol has licensed INEOS Technologies’ Innovene S Process so it can manufacture medium density and high density polyethylene at its cracker complex in Litvinov.
Unipetrol said the construction of the new polyethylene unit was a key investment project in its medium-term strategy.
“We have chosen the newest technology, which will allow us to innovate our current product portfolio and satisfy most demanding requirements of our customers,” says Marek Świtajewski, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director.
The technology will also improve production safety and reliability.
