Petromidia refinery supplies to petrochemicals units the entire quantity of polypropylene. The varieties of polyolefins (polypropylene and polyethylene) produced by the Petromidia refinery are used in agriculture, the food industry and for a wide range of products, from FMCG, personal care, electronics and electrotechnics to the auto industry, textiles, and constructions.
The petrochemical division has 3 installations
One installation of polypropylene (PP) and 2 for polyethylene, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), with a combined output of over 220,000 tons/year.
The company operates the only marine terminal for offloading ethylene at the Black Sea and the only cryogenic tank with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons.The petrochemicals division produces more than 30 special, niche varieties with added value..
Raw material for medical equipment
Rompetrol petrochemical division has developed a special type of polypropylene dedicated to protective medical masks.It is used for the middle layer of the mask, the most important layer for filtering and protecting against pathogens.
