Our Products
Our products and solutions are designed to enhance daily lives and fuel the progress of industries worldwide. They play a vital role in meeting the world’s energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas comprises Propane (C3) & Butane (C4). LPG can be used domestically to generate heat or to produce light. Also, It can be used as fuel for some vehicles (mainly in Europe). In the refining and petrochemical industry, it could be used as feed for units such as the HPU (hydrogen production plant), and it can feed steam crackers to produce derivatives (which are the main components to produce Plastics).
Benzene
An important organic compound chemical with the chemical formula C6H6. Its molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms joined in a ring, with 1 hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene.
Paraxylene
A petrochemical component in which used for later processes to produce fibers, films or to produce a polymer such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). PET is one of the polymers belonging to the polyester family. Commonly used to manufacture clothes or plastic bottles) and in the industry as material to manufacture Solar cells.
Gasoline
Our Company produces three grades of gasoline suitable for export. The destination of the gasoline determines whether the grade is (Asian, European, or US). The fuel is primarily used for light-duty vehicles. The octane number determines the quality of the fuel. The higher the octane number, the better the performance of the gasoline.
