INEOS Aromatics completes modernization of PTA facility

INEOS Aromatics has completed a $70 MM modernization of its purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant in Merak, Indonesia, that significantly reduces emissions and increases capacity, supporting the competitiveness and growth of the Indonesian polyester industry.

The installation of a larger oxidation reactor, reconfiguration of the reactor’s heat recovery system and revamp of the process air compressor train will both reduce CO2 emissions by 15% and increase the site capacity by 15%, from 500,000 tpy — 575,000 tpy.

PTA is used by the polyester industry to produce items for homes and businesses such as clothes, furniture, food and drink packaging and other industrial uses.

The investment will also improve the reliability and competitiveness of the plant, increasing the availability of PTA for the Indonesian market and the use of local content in fabric produced in the country.

"The INEOS Aromatics facility in Merak has played an important role in the Indonesia polyester industry for some time. This new, multi-million dollar investment shows our commitment to its future growth," said Frank Yang, President Director, INEOS Aromatics Indonesia.
