Site

The Tanjung Langsat Complex is the second of Lotte Chemical Titan Malaysia's (LCTM) two integrated production sites in Johor, Malaysia, located in the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Park, approximately 15 km from the Pasir Gudang complex. It is connected to the Pasir Gudang site via underground pipelines and shared utilities, enabling both sites to operate as a single integrated petrochemical complex.

Site Overview

• The site hosts the downstream polymer plants of the LCTM group, receiving ethylene and propylene feedstock from the naphtha crackers at Pasir Gudang via inter-site pipelines.

• A licensed co-generation plant operates at Tanjung Langsat, providing power and steam utilities to the complex, under a co-generation licence valid from September 2020 to September 2030.

Production Units and Technologies

The Tanjung Langsat site hosts two polyethylene plants as its core production assets:

Key Technology Observations

• The LDPE plant (230 KTA actual) uses ExxonMobil's high-pressure tubular reactor technology, a standard and widely licensed process for LDPE production.

• The HDPE plant (115 KTA actual) uses Mitsui's slurry-phase polymerization technology, well known for producing HDPE grades for blow molding, pipe, and injection molding applications.

• These two plants complement the LLDPE/HDPE swing plant and PP units at Pasir Gudang, giving the group a comprehensive polyolefin product portfolio spanning LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE and PP across the two sites.

Integration with Pasir Gudang

The Tanjung Langsat complex is not a standalone site; it is fully dependent on the Pasir Gudang crackers (NC1/NC2) for ethylene feedstock supply via pipeline, and shares utilities and controls with Pasir Gudang. The shutdown of NC1 in December 2024 and the current Hormuz-driven naphtha supply crisis therefore directly affect operating rates at Tanjung Langsat as much as at Pasir Gudang itself.
