Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT):
The Hanwha Total Petrochemical (HTC) joint venture1 is
commissioning a new polypropylene line at the Daesan integrated
refining and petrochemical complex in South Korea, adding a further
60% to its production capacity, which now totals 1.1 million tons a
year. At the same time, the start‑up of a fourth propane furnace
will increase ethylene production capacity by 10% to 1.5 million
tons a year.
These projects were carried out safely and successfully, and
were completed on time and on budget. They mark the culmination of
investments totaling $1.3 billion, announced in 2017 and 2018, to
expand production capacity at the Daesan complex. They also take
advantage of abundant, cost-advantaged propane feedstock from the
United States.
The new polypropylene line, with a capacity of 400,000 tons a
year, will enable Daesan to supply both the Korean market and
export markets, particularly China. It will enable the
manufacturing of high-value-added, durable goods for specialty
applications such as underfloor heating pipes and automotive parts,
helping reduce the weight of vehicles.
HTC has also launched a new polypropylene compound line2 at its
Dongguan site in southern China, which will enable the joint
venture to develop specific grades containing recycled polymers, in
partnership with its customers, as HTC's contribution to Total's
ambition of producing 30% recycled polymers by 2030.
“The successful completion of these projects in South Korea is
an excellent illustration of our strategy of meeting growing global
demand for polymers, especially for durable applications, by
focusing investments on our world-class complexes. In the case of
Daesan, we also leverage competitively priced feedstock and
monomer-polymer integration,” said Bernard Pinatel, President of
Refining & Chemicals at Total.
