Customer: Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources of the Republic of Armenia
The aim of this call is to involve a private partner for the restoration of the industrial infrastructure of «Nairit plant».
«Nairit Plant» was founded in 1933
In 1936 the production of calcium carbide was launched with 20 thousand tonnes/year power.
In 1939 the caustic soda, chlorine and synthetic hydrochloric acid acquisition workshop units were launched with a capacity of 7 thousand tonnes/year power (due to caustic soda).
In 1940 the production of monovinyl acetylene, chloroprene and Chlorophrene rubber with acetylene aquisition base out of calcium carbide was launched with 7 thousand tonnes/year power.
In 1942 the power reached up to 10 thousand tonnes/year.
In 1961 the power increased up to 45 thousand tonnes/year due to rubbers.
In 1964 the reconstruction of caustic soda evaporation workshop with 66 thousand tonnes/year power increase due to caustic soda of 100 %.
In 1965 the launch of natural gas based acetylene acquisition workshop.
In 1966-1970 reconstruction of monovinyl acetylene and chloroprene aquisition workshops increasing the power up to 75 thousand tonnes/year due to rubbers.
In 1969 the power increase of natural gas based acetylene acquisition workshop went up to 75 thousand tonnes/year thanks to the products’ acetylene calculation.
In 1970 the launch of monocarboxylic acid production of 35.5 thousand tonnes/year power due to acetic acid.
In 1980chloroprene acquisition production release out of butadiene up to 75 thousand tonnes/year.
In 1986 the production of rubbers was launched thanks to new technology with 50 thousand tonnes/year power.
In 1989 the operation of plant was terminated by the resolution of the SupremeCouncil of Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (henceforth Armenian SSR) for environmental considerations.
In 1990-1991 the production of chlorine and consequently all the other productions were relaunched by the resolution of Supreme Council of the Republic of Armenia
In 1994 the workshop of chloroprene acquisition out of acetylene was re-launched with 10 thousand tonnes/year power.
In 2010 the plant’s operation was terminated and the plant has not been operating since then.
Presently there are 5 basic productions involved in the plant structure.
● Natural gas-based production of acetylene
● Acetylene-based production of chloroprene and butadiene(divinyl)-based production of chloroprene
● Production of rubbers
●Production of chlorine and caustic soda
● monocarboxylic acids production (Acetic Acid, Formicidae Acid, Propynoic Acid)
As well as auxiliary productions.
