Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco) is to inaugurate an ethylene expansion project (EP2) at Mesaieed on January 8, 2007. EP2, completed at an outlay of QR840 mln, will boost Qapco’s ethylene production capacity to 720,000 tons from the existing 525,000 tons. The lne will also result in an increase in ethylene supply from Qapco to Qatar Vinyl Company (QVC), helping it cope better with the high cost of ethylene, both locally sourced and imported. After the start up of the ethylene expansion project and the Qatofin project, a significant quantity of ethylene will be available either for export or a feedstock for the downstream derivative units.
