Borouge has supplied its “Made in the UAE” materials to Union Pipe Industries (UPI), a large and robust pipe manufacturer in the Middle East and North Africa region and one of Borouge’s long-term value chain partners, to produce 2km of polyethylene pipes with a flow rate of About 26,000 cubic meters per hour, which is equivalent to filling a 25-metre swimming pool in less than one minute.
The manufacture of pipes locally made it possible to produce very long pipes, with a length of each part of about 24 meters, in contrast to the standard registered in the sector, which is approximately 12 meters.
Extra long tubes require fewer joints and welds, allowing for faster and safer installation. For these reasons, this type of pipe was chosen to be installed in Borouge 4 project.
Khalfan Al Muhairi, Senior Vice President Middle East, Africa and Export at Borouge, said: “Our materials are specifically engineered using Borstar® technology to produce thick-walled polyethylene pipes. By providing more robust and reliable piping solutions, Borouge continues to contribute to the sustainability of its pipeline networks. water by making it safer, longer lasting and more efficient, which in itself helps eliminate water leakage and saves energy at the same time.”
Borouge’s innovative and sustainable non-metallic pipe solutions are durable enough to guarantee the pipes made of them a long service life of more than 50 years.
Borouge’s polyethylene material is also lightweight and able to withstand ground movement, and is the material of choice for use in major municipal projects in the Middle East, Asia and Africa region.
Committed to sustainability, Borouge maintains a proven track record of contributing to the success of a wide range of mega-projects by sourcing its innovative 100% recyclable polyethylene materials.
The solutions and materials produced by Borouge are preferred over conventional and other materials that cause the problem of water loss. It also ensures a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional pipes, making it a valuable component of modern infrastructure.
Borouge is known for providing cost effective solutions to pipe producers while ensuring quality as per national and international standards. Borouge continues to provide leading, high-performance polyethylene materials, especially when it comes to facilitating access to clean drinking water, and improving gas and water distribution networks.
The use of “Made in the UAE” materials produced by Borouge for use in the manufacture of pipes by Union Pipe Industries Company to be installed at a world-class petrochemical production facility in the UAE is in line with Borouge’s commitment to support the UAE’s National Added Value Program and is also in line with the “Make in the UAE” initiative.
