Through our market intelligence assessment, we have now identified all polypropylene assets technologies and capacities of Braskem in North America.

In case of the Markus Hook site, combining information from press releases, independent news reporting and sites imaging we could accurately determine that the site features two Unipol PP plants, one with one signle reactor (for homopolymer production), and the more recent one with a dual reactor system for copolyer production, unlike company's statement the site only has one PP plant.

Four Unipol PP Plants with a cumulative capacity of 1 million tons have been added to the Hazira and Jamnagar 1 (J1 DTA) production sites according to this ROYAL MARKETING communication putatively dated from 2014:

Reliance Industries Limited is Asia's largest manufacturer of Polypropylene (PP). With a combined capacity of over 1 million tonnes, Reliance figures amongst the Top Eight Polypropylene producers in the world. Reliance holds a 70% share of the Indian Market and caters to 3% of the worlds consumption of PP.

Reliance Industries Limited commissioned its first PP plant with a capacity of 350 KTA in Oct'96 at Hazira Petrochemical Complex. This was followed by the commissioning of two lines of 200 KTA each at it's Jamnagar Petrochemical Complex in April/May'99. The third line at Jamnagar of 200 KTA was commissioned in Dec'99.

Reliance has adopted the world acclaimed Unipol Process of Union Carbide (now merged with Dow Chemical) for manufacturing PP at all its sites. Unipol process combines the production efficiency of gas phase fluidized bed reactor technology with the high activity and stereospecificity of the SHAC catalyst system. The two production sites offer a wide range of Homopolymer, Random and Impact copolymer grades. These can cater to the entire spectrum of Extrusion, Injection & Blow molding processes.
