Suzano Petroquimica
is a joint controlling
shareholder of Riopol and Politeno, polyethylene producers, and Petroflex, synthetic elastomer producer;
both products are raw materials for the converters, as the
polypropylene (more details at Suzano´s Groups section).
Riopol http://www.chemicals-technology.com/projects/rio/
Riopol was created in
1996 to implement a grand project, the Rio de Janeiro
Gas-Chemical Production Complex, in the vicinity of the Duque
de Caxias refinery - Reduc, owned by Petrobras. The Complex
was inaugurated on 23 June, 2005 and is comprised of two units
- an ethane and propane pyrolysis unit, with installed
capacity of 520 thousand ton/year of
ethylene,
and another unit producing high density
(HDPE) and low density (LLDPE) polyethylene, with installed
capacity of 540thousand ton/year.
Rio Poli'meros'
Pyrolysis Unit has an annual production capacity of 520.0
thousand tons of ethylene and 75.0 thousand tons of
propylene.
Additionally, this unit has an annual production capacity
of 5.0 thousand tons of hydrogen and 33.0 thousand tons
of pyrolysis gasoline.
The Polymerization unit, on the other hand, has two
independent production lines with an annual capacity of 270.0
thousand tons of polyethylenes each, for a total annual
capacity of 540.0 thousand tons of polyethylene. This unit is of the
swing type, capable of producing LLDPE and HDPE. This
flexibility allows for adapting the product mix to the
needs of the market.
The Rio de Janeiro
Gas-Chemical Production Complex is the first Brazilian
petrochemical complex to use natural gas fractions as
petrochemical raw-material to manufacture ethylene and the
first integrated petrochemical project in Brazil, gathering
production units of ethylene and polyethylene.
The shareholders of Riopol are Suzano
Petroqui'mica (33,33%), Unipar (33,33%), Petroquisa (16,66%)
and BNDESPAR (16,66%).
PQU
PQU, Brazil's first
basic petrochemical products plant, was incorporated December
12, 1966 under the name Petroqui'mica Unia~o Ltda.,
From 1971 onward,
PQU's shareholder body was composed by 90% of
domestic capital, from Petrobras (Petroquisa 17.5%) and
Unipar(37.2%), a domestic private group(Suzano 6.8%), and 10%
of foreign capital, from companies such as
International Finance Corporation, Provident International
Corporation, Citicorp, and Venture Capital Ltd.
In November 1980, the
DBN I (Debottlenecking) project was completed, increasing
ethylene production from 300 thousand to 360 thousand tons
per year. now 500
Ipiranga
Ipiranga Petroquimica
produces four thermoplastic resins present in several
day-by-day products.
The High, Medium and Linear Low Density Polyethylenes (HDPE,
MDPE and LLDPE), besides Polypropylene (PP), are produced in
the five industrial plants in the Petrochemical Complex of
Triunfo-RS.
Ipiranga Petroquimica was founded in 1976 and it was first
called Polisul Petroquimica. Hoechst
(Germany), Petroquisa (state owned company) and Empresas
Petroleo Ipiranga (one of the largest private
company in Brazil) were the only Polisul shareholders.
It was in 1992 that Ipiranga and Hoechst bought
Petroquisa's shares, taking over the control of
Polisul. By that time, each shareholder had 50% of the
company.
By the year 1997, Hoechst shareholders decided to focus their
investments in science and health business. That was the
opportunity when Ipiranga bought Hoechst shares and the name Polisul
Petroquimica was changed to Ipiranga Petroquimica (now 100%
owned by Empresas de Petroleo Ipiranga).
The petrochemical site of Triunfo (South Brazil) has many
companies but Ipiranga was the first one to start up in 1982
(together with the cracker - COPESUL). It first began with a
HDPE 60.000 ton/year capacity.
In 1986, the industrial plant was debottlenecked in order to
produce 100.000 ton/year.
In 1990, a second industrial plant was built and it raised
the HDPE production capacity to 220.000 ton/year.
The third unit to start up was built in 1996, reaching
350.000 ton/year HDPE production capacity.
The 150.000 ton/year PP plant and the 150.000 ton/year
HDPE/LLDPE swing plant started producing in 1999.
In its Brazilian site (Triunfo), Ipiranga is able to produce 150.000
ton/year of PP, 400.000 ton/year HDPE and 150.000 ton/year
HDPE/LLDPE in its five (05) petrochemical units.
Unipar
The birth of UNIPAR
is entwined with the origin of the petrochemical industry in
Brazil, ? and consequently with an important part of the
country’s History.
When the Federal
Government opened up the importation and processing of crude
oil to private enterprise, Refinaria União was a pioneering enterprise
which, for two decades, became a landmark not only because it
processed 20,000 barrels per day and employed the most modern
technology in the sector, but especially because it trained
hundreds of high-level technicians in specialties that had
not existed in Brazil up to that time.
It was these new
professionals who employed all their knowledge in the
installation of the first Petrochemical Complex in Brazil, a
successful enterprise of the União Group, which would later
give rise to UNIPAR-União de Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A. With the inauguration of
Petroquímica União (PQU), in São Paulo, Brazil started
producing ethylene, propylene and other raw materials for
second generation industries. In addition to Petroquímica União(PQU), Poliolefinas,
Carbocloro, Empresa Brasileira de Tetrâmero, Brasivil-Resinas Vinílicas and Copamo-Consórcio Paulista de Monômero were part of UNIPAR’s very significant initial
assets.
Meanwhile, UNIPAR has
become a Group of ten distinct businesses and a listed
corporation, which, among other projects, is taking part in
the installation of the first Gas-Chemical Complex in Brazil:
Rio Polímeros, in Duque de Caxias,
State of Rio de Janeiro, which is expected to start up in
2004.

The facility is expected to startup in 2007.
The new plant
which will produce HDPE/LLDPE and will go onstream by mid
2007, more than doubling Polietilenos União's PE capacity. (2005/1)
Petroquímica União PQU
Unipar's expansion project
is to increase the installed capacity of the ethylene
plant at subsidiary Petroquimica Uniao (PQU) by 200,000
tons a year (t/y) to 720,000t/y.
The expansion would
reportedly need 350,000t/y of gas and 200,000t/y of
naphtha, which Petrobras should be able to provide from
its Recap (Capuava) and Revap (Henrique Lage) refineries.

In
May, Petroquisa exercised its preemptive right to acquire the
shares held by Primera (part of the Dow-Quimica group) in
Petroquimica Triunfo’s capital. On
the conclusion of this operation, Petroquisa’s stake in the
voting capital was increased from 45.22% to 60.63% and
corresponding to 80.07% of Petroquimica Triunfo’s total
capital. Petroquisa disbursed approximately US$ 25.5 million
for this additional stake.
Subsequently, Petroquisa acquired the remainder of Primera’s stake in the
company given that the other partner, petroplastic, decided
not to exercise its preemptive rights.
As a result, Petroquisa’s final
participation in the company was increased to 70.45% of the
voting capital and to 85.04% of the total capital, the
company disbursing a further US$ 32 million.

Synthos announces its plan to invest
in Brazil
Synthos S.A. is planning
to build a neodymium polybutadiene rubber plant in Triunfo Petrochemical
Complex in Rio Grande do Sul.
Synthos
S.A. is planning to build a
neodymium
polybutadiene rubber plant in
Triunfo Petrochemical Complex in Rio
Grande do Sul. The investment
will be carried out provided that the
2013 contracts on raw material supplies
will come into effect.
Upon the implementation of those
contracts, the company will build a
modern production plant producing
neodymium polybutadiene rubber (NdBR)
used to manufacture high-performance car
and truck tires and various technical
rubber products. The plant capacity will
reach 80,000
tonnes per year, which will
result in a huge production growth of
elastomers in Brazil and will replace a
significant part of the current import.
“Considering the growing demand for
synthetic rubber in Brazil and other
South American countries, we will not
aim at replacing the local production,
but try to substitute the import into
the region,” said Tomasz Kalwat,
CEO, Synthos S.A.
The production of polybutadiene rubber
in Brazil will be based on the
license granted by Michelin.
2013/6/26
Michelin とChandra Asri 、インドネシアに合成ゴム製造JV設立
Synthos has signed contract agreements
with tire manufacturers Michelin and
Pirelli regarding the
supply of NdBR to their facilities in
Brazil.
The time remaining until the
implementation of contracts will be
dedicated to the preparation of the
necessary documentation (including
project documents) without incurring
substantial financial liabilities.
Brazil is the world’s seventh economy
and the largest economy in South
America. It is one of the emerging
markets with high growth potential.
Synthos S.A. continuously emphasises its
presence on that market. In 2012, our
rubber export to South America amounted
to 3.3%, and in 2013 it reached 6.3%.
According to the Polish Foreign Market
Research Lab, in the first three
quarters of 2013, the sales of tires for
new cars in Brazil increased by 9%. The
replacement tires market increased by
11% as compared to the previous period.
Thus, the Brazilian market and other
South American economies are highly
attractive.
