The complex will include the world’s largest mixed-feed cracker, with an estimated 1.8 million tonnes per annum of ethylene output and a production capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum of olefins and aromatics, using a variety of feedstocks such as ethane, butane and naphtha from ADNOC’s refining and gas processing facilities.
