The final-year students got acquainted with the information about the GCC MTO, unique technical solutions incorporated in the complex, as well as with employment prospects.
Within a few days, specialists of the GCC MTO visited the leading technological universities in Karshi and Bukhara — the Karshi Engineering and Technology Institute, the Bukhara Engineering and Technology Institute and the Bukhara College of Oil and Gas Industry.
During the lecture, students were told about the planned technical parameters of the largest gas chemical complex in Uzbekistan, technologies provided by the licensees, products that will be produced at the MCC MTO, as well as prospects for further employment.
The past lectures evoked the liveliest response from the students, many of whom submitted their CVs immediately after the events.
About the Gas Chemical Complex based on MTO technology
GCC MTO will become the largest producer of polymer products in Central Asia with a production capacity of 730,000 tons per year. The company will produce four types of products: polypropylene (250,000 t/g), low density polyethylene (80,000 t/g), ethylene vinyl acetate (100,000 t/g) and polyethylene terephthalate (300,000 t/g).
A distinctive feature of the complex is a unique technological process situated on a single territory. Methanol will be produced from more environmentally friendly methane (in contrast to the traditional scheme, where methanol is made from coal), followed by catalytic cracking of methanol using MTO (Methanol to Olefin) technology into ethylene and propylene.
The project involves such large international companies as John Wood Group Plc (Great Britain and Italy), Air Products (USA), Topsoe (Denmark), Koch Industries Inc. (USA), Chemtex Global Corp. (USA), Scientific Design (USA), Versalis (Italy), Sinopec (China) and Grace Catalysts Technologies (USA).
