3,600 bar for Zulia's polyethylene
Polinter's low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plant, at the Ana María Campos Petrochemical Complex (formerly El Tablazo), has made Venelene® resins since 1976 and runs on high-pressure tubular reactor technology. RELANSA, Uhde HPT's exclusive representative, supplies its critical high-pressure equipment and backs it with spares and technical assistance during turnarounds.

01
THE CHALLENGE
Ethylene polymerization depends on injecting peroxides and initiators with complete precision against reactor pressure. A failure in the pumps, valves or high-pressure piping stops the plant.
02
THE SOLUTION
Uhde HPT piston pumps for initiator injection, designed to operate up to 3,600 bar, together with let-down and safety valves, autofrettaged piping and fittings, reactor control systems and fast-acting hydraulic units. RELANSA manages the supply of original equipment, the procurement of critical spares and technical assistance.
03
THE IMPACT
Built in 1971 and in commercial production since 1976, the plant is still running. RELANSA keeps up after-sales support with special packings, high-pressure seals and pump internals, preserving mechanical integrity under extreme conditions.
