History

1950–1960

In the 1950-1960th years it was the petrochemical complex, largest in Europe, which received raw materials from crafts of the oil Romashkinsky field in Tatarstan on the pipeline Almetyevsk — Bitter and provided with raw materials petrochemical productions of Dzerzhinsk.

1970

In the 1970th years as a part of consolidation new production — future Kstovo Petroleum chemical plant is based. Construction of the facility was supervised by the Central Committee of the CPSU. Building was announced "All-Union shock Komsomol". On an equal basis with specialists of the USSR on construction of process units and body of the plant engineers and commissioners from the German Democratic Republic and socialist Czechoslovakia worked. Start-up of Petroleum chemical plant in operation took place in October, 1981. Up to the beginning of reorganization all adjusted cycle of productions in Dzerzhinsk and Kstovo works effectively. However with the collapse of the USSR in the industry the raw crisis connected with sharp decrease in oil production in the country begins. Gradually all Nizhny Novgorod complex of productions falls into decay, and from the beginning of privatization of the enterprise fall into hands of different owners. In 1996 on Petroleum chemical plant production stops. Only in the late nineties the Kstovo Petroleum chemical plant and the Dzerzhinsk Plant of oxide of ethylene and glycols integrate as a part of Neftekhim Ltd.

In 1999 when Neftekhim Ltd is a part of the SIBUR, raw crisis was finally overcome and the situation in the enterprise begins to improve. First of all the SIBUR solves a problem with supply of raw materials and sales of products of the enterprise. And then begins a number of the investment programs directed to increase in efficiency of productions.

Two years later at the plant the park of storage and for liquid hydrocarbons is built. In 2004 — 2006 three new furnaces of pyrolysis, in 2005 — 2006 — installations of a metanirovaniye and hydrogenation are put into operation, in 2007 the ethylene column is capitally repaired.
