Tobolsk-Polymer LCC and Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH have concluded an Engineering Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC-contract) for a polypropylene production unit with the capacity of 500,000tns of polypropylene per year. Earlier, Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH executed a FEED contract for development of front-end engineering design and supply of long lead equipment. In the near future, Linde-KCA-Dresden GmbH will start pile works at the construction site. It is scheduled to deliver the main part of the large-sized equipment to Tobolsk in 2010 – 2011. Technological scheme Tobolsk-Polymer LCC consists of two basic units – propane dehydration unit with the capacity of 510,000tns of propylene per year and polypropylene production with the capacity of 500,000tns/yr. In December 2009 Tobolsk- Polymer and the Italy-based company Tecnimont S.p.A. concluded an Engineering Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC-contract) for the first one. The total contract value makes about EUR 450 million.
