Rustam Minnikhanov holds board session of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding

On September 28, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov held a board session of Tatneftekhiminvest-holding, where a number of investment projects for implementation in the republic were presented.

Adviser to Director General of AO “RT-Khimkoposit” (a part of Rostec holding) Srrgey Ryabykh told about projects to be implemented in cooperation with Tatarstan.

First of all, it was offered to launch production of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene at Kazanorgsintez chemical company. This material is used in different spheres, for example production of bulletproof jackets, and it was included in the list of import-substituting products.

Another project suggests production of 4-generation gas tanks using polymeric composite materials at Specialized Economic Zone “Alabuga”. The tanks have high strength and low gas permeability, and are four times lighter than metal gas tanks.

Among other projects are advanced processing of flax into fibre and high quality cellulose, and creation of the Center of small-tonnage chemistry for the purpose of import substitution along the whole chemical processing chain.

Professor of Kazan national research technological university Yakov Samuilov reported on wide opportunities of carbamide application.

Eugen Martens, Director Russian Activities at Hager + Elsässer told about water treatment technology and sewage water treatment.

Rustam Minnikhanov was interested in the presented projects as they would be of practical importance for the region’s economy.
