JSC SIBUR-Khimprom is a subsidiary of SIBUR and the largest petrochemical complex in the Western Urals.

SIBUR-Khimprom includes the Stirol Plant, the Butyl Alcohol Plant and the Perm Gas Processing Plant.

The Perm Gas Processing Plant carries out the processing of liquid hydrocarbons, and has a production capacity of over 500,000 tonnes of liquefied gas per year. The company is the second largest in Russia for the volume of production of liquefied gases, including fuel. Domestic gas is supplied to many regions of Russia, the CIS and abroad.

The Stirol Plant is Russia’s leading producer of styrene — a raw material for the production of high-quality rubber, polystyrene, sanitary polypropylene and engineering plastics. The plant also produces methyl tertiary-butyl ether and other products. The styrene production capacity is 135,000 tonnes per year.

The Butyl Alcohols Plant supplies the market with butyl alcohol, and more than 70% of all Russian 2-ethylhexanol, the bulk of which goes to the production of dioctyl phthalate, used in the cable and shoe industry. The plant carries out the scientific development of new types of chemical products, and creates and markets products needed in the production of motor oil and in the paint industry. The capacity of the plant is 123,000 tonnes per year.

In SIBUR’s corporate structure SIBUR-Khimprom is part of the Directorate of Plastics and Organic Synthesis, headed by Vice President Sergei Merzlyakov.

The businesses of SIBUR-Khimprom specialise in the processing of liquid hydrocarbons and the production of a number of petrochemical products. They are technologically linked. The Perm Gas Processing Plant provides raw materials for Stirol’s production. Stirol, in turn, provides raw materials for the Butyl Alcohol Plant and SIBUR’s other petrochemical companies. The main consumer of the other Stirol product, methyl tert-butyl ether, is the oil company Lukoil.

The product range of SIBUR-Khimprom — liquefied gases, styrene, butyl alcohols, methyl tertiary-butyl ether, liquid pyrolysis products (tars) — forms the basis for a virtually limitless range of petrochemical products. They are used to produce rubber, plastics, detergents, car tyres and more.
