Borouge Group International AG (“Borouge International”) today announced that, following the successful completion of performance testing, it has delivered the first batch of materials from its new #CrossLinkedPolyethylene (#XLPE) plant in the #UAE to customers in the region.

The new XLPE plant adds 100,000 tonnes of annual capacity, doubling Borouge International’s current XLPE output in the Middle East and Asia region per year. XLPE is used in high-voltage underground and underwater #powercables that support grid expansion, electrification, and the transformation of energy systems. Borouge Plc, part of #BorougeInternational, operates the region’s only XLPE plant of its kind, strengthening its ability to meet rising demand from fast-growing economies and data centers across Asia and the Middle East.


Borouge International collaborated with Ducab, a leading UAE-based end-to-end energy solutions provider and manufacturer of high-quality #cables and #wires, to successfully test the performance of the initial batch of materials produced at the new XLPE plant. Following the successful completion of testing, Borouge International is ramping up production at the new plant to deliver material for medium and high voltage applications that will support the global energy transformation and decarbonization initiatives.

Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, CEO of Borouge Plc and Chairman of Borouge 4, said: “The first customer deliveries from our new XLPE plant mark an important milestone in the Borouge 4 growth journey and demonstrate our ability to bring advanced production capacity to meet evolving market demand. By expanding our XLPE production capabilities, we are strengthening our position in high-value energy applications, supporting critical grid and network developments in the UAE and beyond.


As part of the required approval process for any materials produced at the new XLPE facility, Borouge International completed extensive benchmark testing against approved materials from its existing assets. Building on the ongoing collaboration between Borouge International and Ducab, medium and high voltage cables will be manufactured at Ducab’s cable plant where they have been subjected to a rigorous testing program in accordance with international standards.


Matteo Bavaresco, Chief Executive Officer of Ducab, commented: “Our collaboration with Borouge International on the successful testing of materials from the new XLPE plant reflects the strength of local industrial partnerships in delivering advanced solutions for critical infrastructure. High-performance XLPE materials are essential to enabling reliable, efficient power transmission, and we are proud to support the introduction of this new regional capacity that will help meet growing demand across the UAE and internationally.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...

Lummus Technology announced Vioneo has selected its Novolen®

Image
polypropylene (PP) technology for a new grassroots plant in #Antwerp , Belgium. The plant will be part of Vioneo’s complex that, once complete, will be the world’s first industrial scale fossilfree plastics production complex. The complex, based on green methanol as feedstock, will also be highly electrified using renewableelectricity and use renewable hydrogen as key components to its operations. The first-of-its-kind plant will have a capacity of 200 kta and will use 100pc segregated green #propylene and #ethylene as feedstock to produce a wide range of #PP grades. With high-purity feedstock and proven technology, PP will serve as a direct drop-in replacement for fossil-based alternatives. The plastics produced will be fully traceable and #CO2negative , allowing customers to reduce their #Scope3 #emissions . Earlier this year, Vioneo and Honeywell announced that Honeywell’s advanced (methanol-to-olefin MTO) technology will be used by Vioneo to produce greenolefins for the comple...
