The project involved upgrading QAPCO's main ethylene production plant in Qatar to improve safety, reduce emissions and waste, and increase productivity. Taiwan-based CTCI was the main contractor for the first phase of the project from 2011-2013, which included installing new furnaces and storage tanks using advanced combustion, waste control, and monitoring technologies. The upgrades are expected to lower nitrogen oxide emissions and reuse coke to prevent environmental contamination while boosting fuel efficiency and ethylene yield.

1. Annexure A1 – Project Profile
• Name of Project: Qatar Petrochemical Company ltd. April 2011 – July 2013
• Type and description of project
QAPCO’s plants are located on the seacoast, equipped with jetty facilities and well connected to the road transport
network.
QAPCO’s LDPE capacity increased to 700 ktpa in the middle of 2012, after the successful start-up of the third LDPE
plant, which added an extra capacity of 300 ktpa, thereby making QAPCO one of the world’s leading LDPE producers.
QAPCO’s facilities also include C3/C4 and pygasoline hydrogenation units, which are integrated with Q-Chem’s stream.
The C3/C4 is supplied to QP for conversion into high-value liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and the pygasoline is
supplied to SEEF Limited for the manufacture of linear alkyl benzene
First phase contract with Taiwan-based CTCI.
The contract was established to upgrade its main
ethylene production plant's machinery to meet
international safety and environment standards,
reduce harmful wastes and enhance productivity.
Under the terms of the project, the new furnaces
and ethylene storage tank will utilise modern
technology in combustion, waste control and on-
line monitoring.
The technology is expected to reduce nitrogen
oxides (NOx) emissions and reuse of coke inside
the furnaces that will prevent soil and air
contamination as well as improve fuel
consumption and yield.
