HOUSTON, June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bharat Petroleum Corporation
Ltd. ("BPCL") has selected Univation's UNIPOL™ PE Process
Technology for two world-scale production lines to be located at
BPCL's Bina Refinery site in Madhya Pradesh, India. The two units are designed to achieve a
combined nameplate production capacity of 1,150,000 tons per annum
of polyethylene (PE).
We are honored by BPCL's selection of
Univation's UNIPOL™ PE Process for their two reactor lines in
India.
The process designs for the two BPCL's reactor lines are
engineered with full production back-fill capabilities to maximize
manufacturing flexibility, increase PE resin supply continuity, and
enable enhanced responsiveness to emerging marketplace needs.
The two BPCL reactor lines will enable production of both
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low-density
polyethylene (LLDPE) products allowing BPCL to meet their customer
demands across a wide range of PE applications essential for Indian
markets. BPCL is accessing Univation's advanced HDPE platforms,
including advanced PRODIGY™ Bimodal HDPE Technology and advanced
ACCLAIM™ Unimodal HDPE Technology, to satisfy the high-performance
needs of HDPE end-use applications including high-pressure PE100
and PE80 pipe, small part blow molding (SPBM), and large part blow
molding (LPBM). Furthermore, BPCL will also utilize Univation's
XCAT™ Metallocene Catalysts to produce advantaged metallocene films
covering specialty end-use applications such as durable shipping
packages, film structures to enhance food preservation, and
metallocene films designed for sustainable agricultural
applications.
Nathan J. Wiker, president of
Univation Technologies, commented, "We are honored by BPCL's
selection of Univation's UNIPOL™ PE Process for their two reactor
lines in India, and our Univation
teams are ready to work side-by-side with the BPCL teams on the
successful design, commissioning and safe start-up of these two
world-scale plants." Nathan continued, "Even beyond start-up, we
look forward to a continuing strong collaborative relationship with
BPCL to enable their teams to maximize value in high-performance
end-use markets, including metallocene LLDPE and bimodal HDPE
applications, with the elegant and efficient UNIPOL™ PE
Process."
