The purpose of these projects is to improve the energy efficiency of GC’s existing plant. TOYO provides a facility-modification plan for this purpose through the study, using optimisation technology. This project is two of seven awarded projects using the company's hybrid energy system re-optimisation (HERO) service to date, and it is the first HERO project in Thailand’s petrochemical industry.
The feasibility study for the aromatics plant has already completed. The result shows a substantial energy conservation opportunity:- Reduction of steam consumption by approximately 20%.
- Reduction of CO2 emissions by approximately 55 000 tpy.
GC acknowledges HERO to be one of the key technologies for achieving its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050. TOYO is honoured to play a role in this progressive challenge which supports the decarbonisation of the petrochemical industry in Thailand. As a second step, GC and TOYO recently started the feasibility study for the phenol plant.
