(MRC) -- In November, Ukrainian producer Linik plans to increase the
output of polypropylene (PP) to 9,000 tonnes. Following the October results, the

In

tonnes, that was by 25% more compared with September. In recent months Ukrainian
producer of PP has undergone difficulties with production. Last month,
Linik cut back PP production, due to technical problems at the
refinery. In August, a week-long stop for a turnaround as well as the
accident led to a decline in production volumes of PP.

The 9 months’ volumes of crude oil refinery by Linik made about 4
million tonnes. The converter processed only 969,000 tonnes and 555,000 tonnes
of the feedstock for the Ukrainian market.
This year, the company changed
its business model and implemented programs to improve the work efficiency,
which allowed TNK-BP to have $17 million net profit over the nine months of
2011.

November. This month Linik planned to process 100,000 tonnes of different

planned total processing volume of crude oil will allow the company to increase
the output of PP to 9,000 tonnes. The 9 months’ volume of production of PP by
Linik made more than 77,000 tonnes, that by 22% more year on
