Olefin Production Process & Advantages

The MFC process at GS Caltex features a flexible design that enables the selective feedstock from existing complex. By-products are upgraded into high value-added products at the existing complex. This implies enhanced profitability. Enhanced cost competitiveness should give us an advantage over our competitors.
Steps are being taken to reduce complexity and raise productivity during the MFC’s construction phase.
