Purchase of technological equipment produced at factories in Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland has been planned.

Some production facilities have already been acquired, now they are being installed.

The construction is carried out by the contractor LLC Mubarekneftegazmontaj. Completion of the construction and installation works is scheduled for September this year. According to forecasts, the project will allow annually producing an additional 61 thousand tons of propane-butane mixture.
