Omsk Polypropylene Plant “Poliom” celebrates its 10th anniversary

During its anniversary year, the plant will produce the 2 millionth ton of high-tech products that are in demand among the processors and meet all the requirements of world manufacturers of polymer products. The joint venture of SIBUR and Gazprom Neft is one of the three largest polypropylene producers in Russia.

Poliom began its operations with a full production turnaround in February 2013, when the shift B received the first batch of Omsk polypropylene made according to a full process cycle - from raw material preparation to packaging of the finished products into the containers. At present, Poliom produces 21 grades of a mainstream polymer, and its production capacity has reached 224,000 tons of products per year. The company has increased the propylene processing depth to a maximum of 99.5% that corresponds to the level of the most efficient global producers.

Poliom systematically improves the environmental friendliness of production process in cooperation with the Government of the Omsk region. As a member of the Clean Air federal project being a part of the Ecology national project, the plant has reduced its environmental impact by 17%. During 10 years, Poliom has invested about 500 million rubles in the environmental protection projects.

“The Omsk Polypropylene Plant is one of the most advanced enterprises in the region and, what is especially important for the regional residents, is a sustainably minded entity. Poliom was among the first businesses that have become our eco-partners within the framework of the Clean Air project. Last year it concluded an additional agreement with the regional Ministry of Natural Resources for the urban greenspace extension. I express my gratitude to the management and staff of the plant for their efficient work for the benefit of the Omsk region and for environmental care! I wish you stable development, implementation of your plans and new achievements!”
