Petrochemical

CPA designs and manufactures pipe supporting equipment for petrochemical plants that convert natural resources such as crude oil, natural gas, ores and minerals into products for a wide range of applications. These plants produce many important building blocks for industry processes, including ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and aromatics.

CPA’s products are specifically engineered to support the piping systems within plants carrying out any of these processes.

See below some examples of major projects that CPA has successfully completed within the petrochemical industry:

Long Son Petrochemical Complex – Vietnam

BAPCO Modernization Programme – Bahrain

BMP’s objectives are to increase refining capacity, enhance the product slate, improve the energy efficiency, and emerge as one of the most competitive and environmentally compliant refineries in the region.

The programme will increase refinery crude capacity by 42% from 267000 barrels per day (bpd) to 380,000 bpd. Also, Resid Hydrockracking unit is designed to convert 78% of lower grade feedstock into distillates which will then be refined into high-margin diesel and kerosene.

Location: Kingdom of Bahrain
CPA products supplied: Cryogenic pipe supports
Year supplied: 2023-2019

PTTGC Olefins Modifications Project, Thailand

This Olefins Modifications Project, designed to enhance PTT Global Chemical’s feedstock flexibility and long-term competitiveness, involved the construction of new facilities to change the main composition of existing feedstock from ethane to propane to increase propylene production. Specifically, it involved the construction of a ‘C3 Splitter’ and an additional distillation tower reaching more than 100 meters.
