Air Liquide Karabatan Tech Gases LLP (ALKTG) has signed a new long-term agreement with Silleno LLP for the supply of nitrogen and compressed dry air to its future polyethylene plant.
The atmosphere Liquide Group has been present in Kazakhstan since 2016. This new investment in the country through ALKTG amounts to 70 million euros. It will support Silleno’s key manufacturing project aiming to convert the Karabatan basin in Atyrau, into a world-class petrochemical hub. This agreement marks a significant scaling up of atmosphere Liquide’s presence in the region.
Under the agreement signed with Silleno, ALKTG will build, own, and operate 2 high-purity and energy-efficient nitrogen production units. This global infrastructure will rank among the largest manufacturing gaseous facilities in the Central Asian region. The units’ commissioning and initial supply delivery are aligned with the Silleno plant’s schedule, targeted to the end of 2028.
The new facility will be located within the National manufacturing Petrochemical Technopark (NIPT) Special Economic Zone, near ALKTG’s existing ASU which currently supplies nitrogen to Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries (KPI). Building upon ALKTG’s first investment in the Karabatan basin in 2019, this new investment further strengthens our joint venture’s manufacturing footprint and synergies in the basin.
Émilie Mouren-Renouard, member of atmosphere Liquide’s Executive Committee, notably in charge of supervising operations in Central Asia, stated: “This major agreement with Silleno LLP marks a new milestone in our prolonged presence in Kazakhstan. We are proud to enhance our strategic alliance with KazMunayGas - our long-standing partner in the country and a key stakeholder in the Silleno project - to support the research of the country's petrochemical sector. This investment perfectly illustrates our strategy to combine technological excellence with high regional impact”.
