Shedden Uhde was engaged to provide engineering, project management and construction management services for the expansion of the polypropylene plant operated by Basell at Geelong. The project increased the capacity of the plant from 70 KT to 130 KT.
The centrepiece of the new facilities is a new distillation tower (PP Splitter) which purifies the feedstock from local refinery and petrochemical plants to the level necessary for polypropylene production. The splitter is 70 m high and in excess of 250 tonnes and was fabricated within Australia; it was transported to site by barge.
