ThyssenKrupp Uhde won a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for a single-train polypropylene (PP) project of Russia’s Sibur, officials said on Thursday.

The plant will be based on LyondellBasell’s Spheripol process technology and is planned to have a capacity of 500,000 tpy. It is being built in Tobolsk, located in the Tyumen region of West Siberia.

The contract will be executed in cooperation with local organization OOO Uhde, who will carry out the permitting for the contract.
