Azerbaijan resumes production of isopropyl alcohol and to export it abroad also

15:43 - 21.04.2020


April 21, Fineko/abc.az. The Ethylene-Polyethylene Plant of Azerikimya, Azerbaijan State Oil Company (SOCAR) has resumed production of isopropyl alcohol, the main raw material of disinfectants.

ABC.AZ reports that the decision to resume the production of AIA (absolute isopropyl alcohol), which occupies its place in the chain of transformation of isopropyl alcohol into the final product, is linked with a sharp increase in demand for isopropyl alcohol in the local and foreign markets. After continuous repair & restoration work at the plant, the technical production site was commissioned on 5 April, and on the 11th - the site for the production of absolute isopropyl alcohol, and production of final products immediately began. This, in turn, will lead, on the one hand, to a sharp reduction in dependence on imports for the AIA product, and, on the other hand, to an increase in exports to world markets with high efficiency.

The launch of this production was planned after the completion of work on the ongoing reconstruction of the EP–300 plant.
