Grupa Azoty Polyolefins is part of Grupa Azoty – one of the largest chemical concerns in Poland and Europe. We create the Polyolefin segment – a business unit specialized in the production of polypropylene. Produced under the Gryfilen® brand, our polypropylene is a portfolio of over 30 types of products, including homopolymers, impact copolymers and random copolymers. They are used, among others, in the automotive, packaging and household appliances industries.
The integrated chemical complex, located in Police, includes:
The Offshore Gas Terminal (gas port)
Serves as a key facility for the unloading and storage of propane and ethylene delivered by sea in liquid form. These essential raw materials are then supplied to the PDH and PP Facilities for further processing. Designed to handle vessels up to 220 meters in length and with a maximum draught of 11 meters, the terminal’s capabilities are made possible by the investment in deepening the Świnoujście–Szczecin waterway to 12.5 meters. This strategic infrastructure enables efficient and reliable handling of seaborne raw material deliveries vital to production.
The PDH Installation
Is designed to carry out the catalytic dehydrogenation of propane, producing up to 429 thousand tons of polymer-grade propylene annually. The first production unit is a propane dehydrogenation facility based on Universal Oil Products’ Oleflex technology, which ensures high efficiency and quality in the production process. At the core of the PDH facility lies the reactor section, comprising four reactors housed in two furnaces. The installation also includes a reaction gas purification section, featuring a hydrogen purification unit and a separation section for propane and propylene, enabling precise and efficient raw material processing.
The PP Facility
Is designed for the production of up to 437 thousand tons of polypropylene annually, covering three main product types: homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact copolymers. The plant operates using propylene supplied from the PDH Facility and ethylene delivered from the Transshipment and Storage Terminal. Production is based on UNIPOL gas-phase polymerization technology, licensed from GRACE, which enables the manufacturing of the full range of polypropylene types. At the core of this technology are two reactors: the first dedicated to the production of homopolymers and random copolymers, while both reactors are used in tandem to produce impact copolymers.
PP Logistics Infrastructure
Complementing the production unit is the modern PP Logistics Infrastructure, which serves as the central hub for the storage, handling, and shipment of finished polypropylene products. At the heart of the logistics platform are 60 storage silos, each capable of holding approximately 450 tons of polypropylene granules. In addition to bulk storage, the facility includes a dedicated area for bagged product, offering a total storage capacity of 22.4 thousand tons. This advanced logistics system ensures efficient distribution and flexibility in responding to various customer and market demands.
Auxiliary Installations
In the project are utilities and interconnection systems. The above systems are designed to secure the necessary utilities required for the operation of the PDH Installation, the PP Installation and the PP Logistics Infrastructure.
