KPPC ships heavy aromatics to Asia

KARO Board Chairman Al-Rashidi said, "The stream, which was previously used as a fuel substitute at the site has a higher market replacement value and will also reduce the site's overall carbon print due to lower CO2 emissions resulting from the use of cleaner fuels.

In addition to heavy aromatics, KKPC's aromatics complex produces 829,000 tonnes/year of paraxylene and 393,000 tonnes/year of benzene.

KARO is a joint venture grouping Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC) with 40%, Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) with 40% while Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company (QPIC) owns the remaining 20%. EQUATE is the single operator of Greater EQUATE, which includes KPPC, TKSC and The Kuwait Olefins Company (TKOC) under one fully integrated operational umbrella at Kuwait's Shuaiba Industrial Area.
