摘要

Bangkok— PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC), in its management discussion analysis for 2019, said a new olefins plant being built at its complex in Map Ta Phut, Rayong, Thailand, is expected to start commercial operation this year (PCN, 19 Feb 2018, p 1). The $985-million project includes a 500,000-t/y ethylene plant, based on CB&I's technology, and a 250,000-t/y propylene unit. It will increase the company's total nameplate olefins capacity to 3.7-million t/y from nearly 3-million t/y currently.
