Russian President Vladimir Putin was on hand last week to open Sibur’s massive polypropylene complex in Tobolsk, Russia. The new facility features a propane dehydrogenation plant with 510,000 metric tons per year of propylene capacity and a similar-sized polypropylene plant. Sibur claims the complex, which cost about $1.9 billion to build, is more efficient than 90% of the world’s polypropylene plants. Russian production of polypropylene was about 660,000 metric tons in 2012, according to Sibur, compared with demand of 880,000 metric tons.
