Egyptian Propylene & polypropylene Company (EPPC), under the lead of Oriental Weavers Group, has commissioned Uhde to build a turnkey petrochemical complex in Port Said, some 170 kilometres north-east of Cairo. The complex will consist of a propylene plant and a polypropylene plant with respective annual production capacities of 350,000 tonnes as well as all appurtenant utilities and offsites, including an air fractionation and refrigerating unit, and the required storage tanks. EPPC is investing some US\$ 680 million in this new petrochemical complex. Completion is scheduled for late 2009. Propane from Egyptian natural gas deposits will be used as the feedstock.
