Research
INEOS Manufacturing Italia is strongly committed to research, innovation and sustainability. We’re continuously committed on developing innovative products, responding to market demands and getting there before our competitors. This commitment also translates in a continual fine-tuning of the production processes in terms of efficiency, performance and safety. The company’s flagship is FEX (Fabrication Expérimentale), a group resource engaged in defining and implementing corporate research and development plans in the Polyolefins sector. The pilot plant of Rosignano plays a key role in the development of new products and processes, including product simulation experiments prior to their transposition in industrial systems.
Storage
Storage is located in Vada, where the ethylene arrives by ship weekly, in a liquid state and at a temperature of -103°. The ethylene is unloaded through a mechanical arm and sent to the storage tank through pipes that go along the full length of the jetty (about 2 km). Before being sent to the production plant, the ethylene is subjected to a vaporisation process.
Production
INEOS Manufacturing Italia produces high density polyethylene (HDPE) in the form of powder (fluff) and granules (pellets). Polyethylene is a plastic material widely diffused in the production of caps and closures for the food industry, textile nets for agriculture, pipes, wires and cables, and in the injection moulding of big containers for industry and small containers for liquids. The production of HDPE includes operational support activities such as quality control, management of technology, logistics, customer service, technical-administrative coordination, procurement and warehousing.
