SABIC selects Basell's Hostalen technology for two new HDPE plants in Europe and Saudi Arabia

29-Apr-2005

Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has selected Basell's Hostalen technology for two new high density polyethylene plants to be built in Europe and Saudi Arabia. One of the plants, to be built by SABIC's affiliate, Yanbu National Petrochemical Company, will be part of a new petrochemical complex in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The plant will have an annual capacity of 400 KT, with start-up planned for 2007. The other plant, to be built by Sabic Europe at one of its European sites, will have an annual capacity of 220 KT, with start-up scheduled in 2008.

The license agreement includes an option for Sabic to enter into an additional five license agreements to build Hostalen process plants. The Hostalen process is a dual reactor, low-pressure slurry technology for the production of HDPE. The two reactors can be operated in parallel or in series to customize product properties, especially for bimodal HDPE.
