Reaching new<br />

heights with<br />

Borouge<br />

<strong>Water</strong> & <strong>Wastewater</strong> <strong>Asia</strong> recently sat down with Youssef Taha,<br />

Vice President of Infrastructure at Borouge, to find out more about<br />

what the company thinks of emerging trends in the market, and<br />

how they plan to expand their production of PE black pipe solutions.<br />

WATER & WASTEWATER ASIA (WWA): What<br />

are some major milestones in the last<br />

three years that have contributed to the<br />

success of Borouge’s Infrastructure business today?<br />

YOUSSEF: In 2016, we launched our coloured<br />

PE100 and PE80 solutions for gas applications<br />

to meet the growth in demand from Southeast<br />

<strong>Asia</strong>, the Indian subcontinent and Middle East.<br />

We have seen growing confidence in PE materials<br />

by pipe producers in the region, who are<br />

increasing investments in machinery for the<br />

manufacturing of very large diameter pipes.<br />

In the last two years for instance, a leading<br />

Vietnamese producer invested heavily in a solid<br />

wall HDPE extrusion line for the production of<br />

water pipes for construction, supply and drainage<br />

applications. The line is currently one of only a<br />

handful in the world which can produce OD 2m pipes.<br />
