The new olefin complex of PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim was inspected today by leading scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Currently, the main design work has been completed here. According to Lenar Nagimullin, Director of the EP-600 plant of PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim, solutions meeting the highest level of requirements for environmental impact parameters will be applied at the new plant. This will ensure the safety of production and its compliance with the norms of both Russian and international legislation. Including the installation of a smokeless flare system. This made it possible to reduce the projected indicators for CO emissions by 12 times compared to the BAT of the Russian Federation, nitrogen oxide compounds by six times relative to Russian benchmarks and by half compared to European ones. The Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) will enable operators to monitor the necessary indicators online.
Also, the complex will have modern local treatment facilities and a closed water circulation system, which will completely eliminate the formation of wastewater and minimize the impact on water resources.
In February, an agreement on cooperation between Rosprirodnadzor and Nizhnekamskneftekhim was signed. The document establishes a program for the implementation of environmental protection measures and the introduction of solutions at the enterprise aimed at reducing the impact on the environment, in the amount of more than 6 billion rubles.
In addition, among the key areas of cooperation is the exchange of information on the implementation of the national project "Ecology", as well as the improvement and updating of the legal and regulatory framework in the field of environmental protection and environmental management. The directors of the leading institutes of the country highly appreciated the new complex and noted the responsible approach of the enterprise to environmental safety issues, which were worked out at the design stage. The academics asked if the current economic situation would affect the supply of equipment for the new complex. As noted at PJSC Nizhnekamskneftekhim, the equipment has already been delivered by 94 percent and there are no problems with supplies.
