Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- During 2020, the Uz-Kor Gas Chemical joint venture processed 4.49 billion cubic meters of natural gas, sent 709.75 million cubic meters of gas to deep processing processes and reached an output of 354,460 cubic meters tons of polyethylene and 97,500 tons of polypropylene products.

The indicators of the plan for polymer grades to be produced in 2021 were formed in 2020 based on the demand for polymer grades sold through one of the commodity markets of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the cost of producing a brand was determined based on market demand.

In order to study the technological processes of production, the current state of the projects being implemented, the specialists of the departments exchanged views with the necessary specialists and wide coverage on the spot.

The promising project “Construction of a high-purity hydrogen and nitrogen filling station” is expected to be fully launched in February 2021, creating an opportunity to save on foreign currency in the amount of 400 thousand dollars per year and meet the demand of network laboratories for high-purity hydrogen and nitrogen.

With the participation of the responsible heads of the Department of Gas Processing and Gas Chemistry of Uzbekneftegaz and specialists of the Uz-Kor Gas Chemical joint venture, issues of further improving the efficiency of the plant, polymer production processes and new promising projects were discussed.

The current state of the project "Production of oil for washing compressors from pyrolysis distillate" was analyzed and the current implementation period of this project was reduced to 15 months, from September 2024 to January 2023 due to the parallel execution of works, and mechanisms and conditions for the next stage were determined project.

It should be noted that this project will save foreign currency in the amount of 4 million dollars per year, will provide industrial plants with the necessary industrial oil for flushing compressors, in the amount of 7,600 tons, and this will save an additional 11 million dollars for the Republic.
