Vietnam Petrochemicals & Polyolefins ‘Showcase’ at 11th Asia Olefins & Polyolefins Markets conference in Bangkok.

Posted on : 17 Dec, 2009

 

The 11th Asia Olefins & Polyolefins Markets conference is putting Vietnam’s rapidly growing Petrochemical industry in the spotlight. Vietnam has embarked on an ambitious program to build two world-scale petrochemicals complexes by 2013, with recent multi billion dollar investments from Qatar Petroleum and Siam Cement marking growing interest in investing in these projects.

 

Vietnam’s petrochemical industry is small and insufficient to serve local demand, but upcoming projects like PetroVietnam’s petrochemical complex in Dung Quat Economic Zone, the Nghi Son Refinery & Petrochemical complex, and the Long Son Petrochemical complex will mean Vietnam will soon become a major petrochemical producer.

 

PetroVietnam’s petrochemical complex in Dung Quat economic zone will produce 260,000tpa propylene feedstock & 150,000tpa PP. The entire complex is due to be operational by 2010.

 

The Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical complex with capacities of 150,000tpa of propylene, 150,000tpa of benzene, 480,000tpa of paraxylene and 150,000tpa of PP is one of the two projects expected to come on stream in 2013.

 

The second project is the Long Son Petrochemical complex with capacities of 1.1mn t.p.a of ethylene, 550,000tpa of propylene, 400,000tpa of VCM, 330,000tpa of PVC and 1.45mn t.p.a of polyolefins.

 

The 11th Asia Olefins & Polyolefins Markets conference has invited representatives of PetroVietnam Research and Development Center for Petroleum Processing (PVPro) and RKW LOTUS Ltd to discuss latest petrochemical developments in Vietnam, and address domestic PP and PE markets and developments.
