Johor - Petronas has selected Ineos Technologies' Innovene G platform for the linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) portion of Petronas' Refinery & Petrochemical Integrated Development (Rapid) project in Johor, Malaysia.

The 350,000-t/y plant will produce a full line of high value polyethylene resins, including HDPE, LLDPE and metallocene LLDPE to serve Malaysian and other Asian markets.

Petronas' Rapid project includes a 300,000-b/d refinery, a naphtha cracker to produce about 3-million t/y of ethylene, propylene and other olefins, and several downstream petrochemical units.

Petronas has said the Rapid project will likely need 10 to 12 partners who have the ability to contribute technology, marketing networks, operational experience and project management execution skills.
