Monomer plant
The order dd. 22 February 1991 was placed. This date was conception date for monomer plant. By that time monomer plant consistent of the following production units: EP-300, EP-60, ethyl benzene-styrene (old production) productions. Monomer plant produces the raw material for polymer production.
Initially the plant operated on a lease basis. Myachin S.I. was appointed as Director of the plant, Lishtakov A.I. - as Chief Engineer of the plant. EP 300 production together with unit No. 55f or pyrolysis process and production unit No. 56 for gas separation constitute the plant skeleton. The operating personnel was completed by the technical personnel of the previously shutdown production units included EP-45 production (workshop No.16). These were the highly qualified technician personnel, which had the suitable knowledge and experience of technology as well as of ethylene and propylene.
1996 - The structure of the plant was expended by benzene production unit. Commissioning was completed in the shortest possible time. Further the plastic unit was integrated into monomer plant which consisted of workshops No. 41,47. It was development in a period of economic turndown. During this period there was a shortage of raw material of styrene production. SNOS management and plant management have concluded contracts on styrene deliveries from Nizhnekamsk and Perm covering the material shortage of plastic production.
Autumn 2003 - The successfully commissioning of large scale ethyl benzene and styrene production at workshop No. 46 was carried out. This allowed to settle the issue of raw material shortage of plastic production with the further usage as a raw material for polystyrene production. Produced styrene corresponds to the super grade/ 20-25 per cent styrene is used only for own requirements of workshops No. 47, 41 to produce variable types of plastics.
2007 - Due to reorganization of petrochemical plant and Syntez plant HDPE production workshop No. 23 was integrated into monomer plant.
Tankage facilities was developed on the basis of gas deport and flammable liquid units.
The history of Monomer plant development as independent production unit consists of small and big events just like a history of any other plant.
Two large production sections are operated in Monomer plant: ethylene production, propylene and plastic production. The first consists of the following workshops: pyrolysis (workshop No.55), gas separation (workshop No. 56), benzene (workshop No.58), tankage facilities. Plastic production consist of the following workshops: HDP polyethylene (workshop No. 23), ethyl benzene -styrene (workshop No. 46), polystyrene UPS (workshop No. 41), polystyrene VP, general-purpose polystyrene PSM, high-impact polystyrene UPM (workshop No. 47)
The repair-mechanical workshop (РМЦ-8), electrical and instrumentation workshops, automatic process control system service are also part of Monomer plant. Full capacity operation of the existing production units is one of the major factors in the general process chain. This factor also directly affects the cost value of products, the Companies profit. Monomer plant produces the following products: oil benezene, propylene, ethylene, styrene, heavy pyrolysis residue, pentane- isoprencyclopentadiene fraction, butylene-butadiene fraction, polystyrene -UPS-0804L,0802PU, expandable polystyrene PSV-SU, general-purpose polystyrene PSM-115N,high-impact polystyrene UPM-0508,0703E, high-impact polystyrene sheet, polyethylene 154803-020, 158 black 901,17603-006, 17703-010.
This product is being shipped to more than 100 cities of the Russia and exported to 8 countries of CIS and non-CIS countries. The quality of the high-impact polystyrene (slurring process) was highly recognized on international exhibitions. Yomsin V.V. applied a lot of efforts to receive such recognition.
In 2007 polystyrene УПМ-0508 was entered into the list "100 best quality products of Russia" as a result of a participation in completion. The young specialists of Monomer plant are provided with career development perceptive. Competence, professional skills, goal orientation are of paramount importance in Monomer plant. High percentage of management and specialists of Monomer plant are recent graduates of technical schools.
The majority of labor forces are aimed to get additional training, to raise their qualification standards in-service training.
The overall personnel of Monomer plant equals to 2195 people of which 281 have high education, 695 - have comprehensive and vocational school education. At the same time 811 are young people of which 678 are workers, 46 people are engaged in management and 75 people are specialists.
Engineering staff consists mostly of young specialists former graduates of Ufa state oil technical university (УГНТУ) trained by SNOS on a contact basis as well as other technical schools of Russia.
The plant management always supports those who realize that life means movement towards future goals, appreciate initiative, prospective ideas and healthy life-style.
