Borouge, a name, a history made up of
experiences, emotions and successes
that have enable us to grow and
enthuse. After the successful
experience of Borouge 1 and Borouge
2 Petrochemical complex started in
1999, we had the honor to be awarded with the
subsequent Borouge 3 project, representing the largest
Polyolefins project ever built by Tecnimont.
This impressive turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement
and Construction) project is composed by 5 process
Units, in particular:
• 2 Polyethylene Units;
• 2 Polypropylene Units;
• 1 Low Density Polyethylene Unit (LDPE) of
350,000 tons/year through an high pressure
technology with unique high quality requirement to
achieve an extremely clean product.
The package is part of a large portfolio of projects
including an upstream ethylene cracker, utilities and
offsite facilities, a further refining Cross-Linked
Polyethylene Unit (XLPE) and the non process buildings.
The project is part of Adnoc (Abu Dhabi National Oil
Company) strategic initiative aimed at satisfying the
increasing demand for plastics especially in the Middle
East and Asian markets.
The bidding environment during proposal stage was
highly aggressive with all the major contractors in the
game and ready to sign this prestigious contract award.
How to win a competition that we just could not lose?
Hence the decision to partner one of the most feared

called “TSJ” (Tecnimont Samsung Engineering Joint
Venture) with Tecnimont as leader.
