Indonesia and strive to 2020 olefins, aromatics and other petrochemical products self-sufficiency

: Due to major petrochemical products may further expand the gap , the Indonesian government recently announced that it will accelerate the pace of development of the petrochemical industry by attracting foreign investment and other means , and strive to achieve by 2020 ethylene , propylene, aromatics and other petrochemical products self-sufficiency .Wholesale masking tape

INAplas Vice Suhat Miyarso recently at a seminar in Jakarta , said Indonesia is currently planning to build several petrochemical plants or expand production capacity , the purpose is to 2020, Indonesia no longer need to import petrochemical products. According to its introduction , the authorities will be located in Banten and West Java provinces existing five petrochemical plant expansion . Catalysts such as Japan will increase its production capacity of acrylic acid , Indonesia Polychem Indonesia plans to expand its production capacity in Merak MEG device , and Chandra - Asri Petrochemical (CAP) company plans to increase production capacity of its naphtha cracker . Allegedly, these expansion projects are expected to be completed next year .

The Indonesian government has designated Banten , East Java and East Kalimantan Province, the three regions to develop the petrochemical industry cluster , which Banten Province will develop industrial base olefins , aromatics , East Java Province, the development of the industrial base, east Jiali Man Dan provincial development of coal chemical industry base . Indonesia aromatics and olefins Plastics Industry Association (INAplas) said that at present , a number of petrochemical projects are under construction or being expanded . Indonesia's existing petrochemical production capacity 3.9 million tons / year, while demand reached 4.3 million tons / year. The association said the next three to five years , the new petrochemical plants and ongoing expansion project will enable the Indonesian petrochemicals production capacity increased by 30 % to 40 %.

In addition, some companies intend to seven new petrochemical projects in Indonesia , including South Korea's Honam Petrochemical Company naphtha cracker project in Banten . In addition , the German company Ferrostaal will join Indonesia Chandra - Asri Petrochemical to build a methanol to olefins in Papua (Papua) (MTO) plant.Masking tape


Korea Honam Petrochemical 2012 determines the construction of a petrochemical project in Indonesia investment plans. The company has state-owned steel companies in Indonesia - signed a memorandum of understanding Krakatau steel company, Krakatau Steel to provide land for the petrochemical project . According to the plan , Honam Petrochemical invest $ 5 billion to build a large petrochemical project , started construction in the first quarter of 2013 , built in 2016 . It is reported that the project includes 1 million tons / year of ethylene and 550,000 tons / year propylene unit , downstream devices as well as 600,000 tons / year of polyethylene , 600,000 tons / year of polypropylene and 700,000 tons / year ethylene alcohol and a 140,000 t / year butadiene plant . Required part of the project will be dependent on imports of naphtha feedstock , production of petrochemical products will give priority to the Indonesian market , about 80% of products for local consumers .

The only native Indonesia Chandra Asri ethylene producers will also determine the expansion of ethylene and propylene and butadiene derivatives related construction projects , the company 's ethylene production capacity / year to expand from the current 600,000 tons to 1 million tons / year, propylene production capacity will also increase the use of translocation method , and intends to set a new 1 - butene and styrene-butadiene rubber production equipment and related downstream devices.Washi tape


The world's top ten producers of ethylene Thai PTT company recently announced a joint venture with Indonesian state-owned Pertamina to build large petrochemical projects. Recently, the Indonesian state-owned Pertamina , said in Jakarta announced plans in 2015 to make a final investment decision on the proposed petrochemical project . The petrochemical plant or start operations in 2018 . The project aims to meet 30 percent of Indonesia's petrochemical market demand . Allegedly, the Indonesian petrochemical market in 2018 will reach about $ 30 billion . The planned joint venture ethylene production capacity over one million tons / year, the total investment in 4000 to 5000 million U.S. dollars . Preparation means mainly high -density polyethylene and low density polyethylene , and an ethylene glycol mono t-butyl methyl ether plant. These new projects are expected to invest as much as $ 39 billion , will be completed in 2017-2020 .

It is understood that in recent years the average annual growth rate of the Indonesian economy has remained above 6 percent , and the middle class population is growing , so demand for Indonesian ethylene , propylene and other major petrochemical feedstock rapid growth. Currently, the Indonesian petrochemical industry mainly raw materials ( including naphtha ) are dependent on imports, petroleum refining and petrochemical industrial development of the country is lagging behind its crude oil processing capacity of about 50 million tons / year ethylene production capacity of approximately 600,000 tons / year, The demand is more than one million tons of ethylene / year . With the country's economy continues to grow rapidly , the future supply gap will be further expanded .Sellotape
