Specialists at the Irkutsk Polymer Plant (an IOC project) conducted test shipments of polyethylene made from externally delivered raw materials.

The training for shipping finished products from the warehouse to the lower platform included several stages: planning, coordination of actions between warehouses, drivers, and the railway workshop, analysis of technical aspects, high-quality training of personnel, and recording of operations in accounting systems.

A cross-functional team consisting of managers and specialists from the departments involved in the process was formed to describe the shipping process. Following the initial training sessions, the products were successfully shipped. The exercises will enable to minimize the risks of warehouse overstocking and untimely shipment of products to customers in the future. Additional practical training sessions for staff, including refresher training, are planned for mid-March.

In December 2024, the Irkutsk Polymer Plant produced its first polyethylene granules from externally delivered raw materials during commissioning. Key process systems, including the extruder, recycled gas compressor, and circulation gas compressor, which are necessary for the polymerization process, were successfully tested.

The Irkutsk Polymer Plant is the first plant in Eastern Siberia to produce polymers from its own raw material, ethane. Polyethylene produced at the Irkutsk Polymer Plant can be used in various industries, including automotive, medicine, consumer goods industry, etc.
