PKN ORLEN begins construction of the PTA Plant
Today in Wloclawek (Poland) the Presidents of PKN ORLEN, Polimex-Mostostal and the City of Wloclawek together with representatives of Mitsubishi Chemical officially commenced the construction of a purified terephthalic acid plant (PTA). The installation, with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tonnes, will be operating on the premises of PKN ORLEN adjacent to ANWIL Wloclawek.
Polimex-Mostostal was contracted the general constructor of the plant upon the agreement signed with PKN ORLEN in 2007. The PTA process is licensed by Mitsubishi Chemical, the world’s third biggest PTA manufacturer and leading producer of the acid in Asia. The contracted technology complies with the best available techniques requirements.
The PTA plant is scheduled to commence production in H2 2010. Until then, PKN ORLEN is to increase the production capacity of its paraxylene plant in Plock, a feedstock for PTA. The PTA plant cost is estimated at PLN 3.73 bln. The facility will directly employ over 200 staff with additional personnel to be employed by the maintenance and logistics companies.
The average yearly demand for PTA in Western Europe between 2003 and 2010 is forecasted to grow by 6 per cent every year mainly thanks to applications in the plastics industry, especially polyesters broadly used in such branches as textile, packaging, food and pharmaceuticals.
In August last year, PKN Orlen signed a contract with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to design, supply and provide on-site supervision for the construction of the 600,000 mt/year capacity plant at PKN Orlen's chemicals complex in Wloclawek, about 160 km northwest of the capital Warsaw. The cost of the plant is estimated at Zloty 3.73 billion ($1.87 billion) and it is expected to come onstream in October 2010, PKN Orlen said in a statement. The plant will be built by Polish company Polimex-Mostostal.
PKN ORLEN is a Polish company and one of Central Europe’s largest refiners of crude oil. We specialize in processing crude oil into world-class unleaded petrol, diesel, heating oil, and aviation fuel as well as plastics and other petroleum related products.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has received an order for a large-scale purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant from Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN S.A.

The plant, with a capacity to produce 600,000 tons of PTA per annum, is slated to go on-stream in October 2010. The contract, worth approximately 50 billion yen, was concluded between PKN ORLEN and MHI in cooperation with ITOCHU Corporation, a Japanese trading house.To date, MHI has received two orders for 350,000 ton/year PTA plants - one from MCC PTA India Corporation Private Limited of India in 1997 (completed in 1999) and one from Shahid Tondgooian Petrochemical Company of Iran in 2000 (completed in 2006) - and one order for a 600,000 ton/year PTA plant for Ningbo Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd. of China in 2004 (completed in 2006).
