Feasibility Study for a Mixed-Feed and LPG Cracker Petrochemical Complex in the UAE

A feasibility study was carried out for the development of a mixed-feed and LPG cracker petrochemical complex in the UAE. The proposed complex was assessed with a total land requirement of approximately 90 hectares and included a phased development structure covering several downstream production plants and a mixed-feed steam cracker. The feedstock configuration considered LPG and Ethane, supporting the production of key petrochemical intermediates and polymer products.

The study evaluated the full project configuration, including the steam cracker plant, storage tanks, and downstream production plants (ISBL), utilities, non-industrial areas, port infrastructure (OSBL), and shipping requirements.

The assessment also covered product selection rationale, downstream integration, site selection, logistics, container yard utilisation, marine infrastructure, and government support requirements for jetty berths and associated port facilities. The study supported the evaluation of a strategically integrated petrochemical complex designed to convert LPG and ethane into higher-value polymers, synthetic rubber, and by-products for regional and export markets.
