“The K-3 column is on fire – a central gas fractionation unit (CGFU), which converts a liquid mixture of gases into raw materials for petrochemical production,” the ASTRA analysis says.
What is “ZapSibNeftekhim”?
ZapSibNeftekhim is the largest petrochemical complex in Russia and one of the world’s largest producers of basic polymers (polyethylene and polypropylene). It is located in the city of Tobolsk and is part of the SIBUR Holding.
The plant processes oil by-products into 2.5 million tons of polymers per year. The liquid gas mixture at the HFCU plant is converted into environmentally friendly raw materials, which are then used to produce polyethylene and polypropylene for parts, pipes, and packaging.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that a central gas fractionation plant with a capacity of about 6.6 million tons of raw materials per year was damaged.
