The modernization of the cryogenic storage facility and the construction of the marine terminal also support the next development stage, which is the start-up of the high density polyethylene (HDPE) installation in the first half of next year. Its capacity will also be 60,000 tons per year, allowing Rompetrol Petrochemicals to supply up to 200,000 tons of polymers by the end of 2007.
The main ethylene supplier for the LDPE installation is US group Dow Chemicals – the world's largest polyethylene producer. Last April, Rompetrol Petrochemicals entered a partnership agreement with Dow for the next 14 years, a duration comprising both the modernization program and subsequent development of the TRG petrochemical plant.
The Rompetrol Group N.V. is a multinational oil company headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, operating in 13 countries, and with the majority of its assets and operations based in France, Romania, Spain, and South-East Europe.
