ExxonMobil Chemical Technology Licensing has licensed its proprietary tubular tail technology to Thai Polyethylene Company (TPE), a subsidiary of Siam Cement Group (SCG). Under the license, ExxonMobil Chemical's tubular tail technology will debottleneck and retrofit the autoclave reactor at TPE's low density polyethylene plant in Map Ta Phut, Thailand. This is the first installation of tubular tail technology on an autoclave reactor developed by ICI to produce polyethylene.

Following installation of the technology, production capacity at the plant is expected to increase from 100 KTA to 152 KTA, with energy consumption reduced by up to 20%. Engineering and design is underway and construction is expected to be completed in 2016.
