Siam Cement Group (SCG; Bangkok, Thailand) announced further details about future plans, including its investment program. The company also gave details about its mega project in Vietnam. The company's largest project is the Long Son Petrochemical joint venture in Vietnam in which SCG holds a 71% stake and PetroVietnam 29%. The complex will be based on a flexible-feed steam cracker, capable of consuming up to 80% gas feedstock, with combined capacity of 1.5 million metric tons/year (MMt/y) of ethylene and propylene. Downstream units will comprise three plants, a 450,000-metric tons/year low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) unit, a 500,000-metric tons/year high-density polyethylene (HDPE) facility, and a 400,000-metric tons/year polypropylene (PP) plant. Completion is expected in the first half of 2022. Technip Stone & Webster has been selected to provide the olefins technology, Mitsui Chemicals for HDPE and PP, and Univation Technologies, a Dow Chemical unit, the LLDPE process. Technip Geoproduction, Technip Stone & Webster Process Technology and SK Engineering & Construction are the contractors for the olefins complex. The contractors for the polyolefins (PO) units are yet to be selected. The project will help Vietnam meet some of its polyolefin deficit. Source: IHS Chemical Week, 8/31/2017.
