President of SIBUR, Dmitriy Konov, and the Deputy Governor of Tyumen Region, Aleksandr Moor, took part in the openning ceremony of the construction site of the future polypropylene plant in Tobolsk.
Local and other contractors have now commenced site preparation work. The engineering companies are completing the basic design work and placing orders for process equipment with a long lead time, most of which will be delivered to the site during the 2009 navigation season.
Launch of the new plant is scheduled for 2011. It will be the largest such facility in the world with a design capacity of 500,000 t of polypropylene per year.
Moor and Konov also held a working meeting to discuss preparations for commissioning of the first stage of a housing complex designed both for builders and staff of the new plant and for citizens of Tobolsk.
