Project Parameters
The Pavlodar plant will produce 97,600 tonnes of alkylate per year from 110,000 tonnes of butane-butylene fraction. Alkylate is a high-octane, environmentally clean component used in K5 standard gasoline. The Energy Ministry said the project will deepen hydrocarbon processing and increase added value in Kazakhstan's petrochemical sector. The main sales market will be domestic producers of high-octane gasoline, with export supplies also being considered.
Construction and Jobs
The project is implemented by Intertrans C.A. Active construction is underway at the site, including water lowering, foundations for tank farms and pumping stations, and administrative buildings. Main process equipment is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026. During construction the project will create up to 500 jobs, and after reaching design capacity 178 permanent jobs.
