Petkim has selected Univation Technologies’ UNIPOL PE process for a proposed polyethylene complex in Aliağa, İzmir, Türkiye. The project envisages annual capacity of 850,000 tonnes across two reactor lines of 425,000 tonnes each. The technology selection advances Petkim’s petrochemical expansion plans, but construction remains subject to a final investment decision. The project aims to strengthen domestic plastics supply.
Project status: Planned; no final investment decision announced.
