Description

PTTGC’s Map Ta Phut Complex is a fully integrated refinery–petrochemical hub occupying multiple branches within the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate. It combines crude‐ and condensate‐distillation units with downstream olefins, aromatics, specialty chemicals, and utilities. Shared infrastructure—steam, power, water, internal pipelines, deep‐sea port access—enables seamless feedstock and product flows, maximizing energy efficiency and cost synergies.

Refining Operations

Unit Capacity Feedstocks Products
AR1 Refinery (Branch 6) 145 000 bpd crude Crude oil Naphtha, LPG, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel
AR2 Condensate Splitter 65 000 bpd condensate Condensate Naphtha, LPG, feed for olefins
AR3 Condensate Splitter 70 000 bpd condensate Condensate Additional naphtha/LPG
Total Refining Capacity 280 000 bpd — —

AR1–AR3 supply naphtha, LPG, and reformate to on-site olefins and aromatics units.

Petrochemical Operations

Olefins and Aromatics

Process Capacity (tpy) Technology Licensor Feedstocks Products
Olefins 1+2 ~3 738 000 (ethylene & propylene) Linde/Technip (steam cracking) Naphtha, LPG Ethylene, propylene
Aromatics 1+2 ~2 200 000 (BTX) UOP (reforming) Naphtha, reformate Benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes

Olefins 2 expansion adds 500 ktpy ethylene and 250 ktpy propylene, enhancing feedstock flexibility.
