Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant

Project overview

The Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant (CPSC) is located in the Jurong Island petrochemical zone of Singapore, a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical, mainly producing HDPE with an annual capacity of about 400,000 tonnes. The project is included in the petrochemical section of the PPG industrial protection brochure.

Anti-corrosion (fire protection) challenge

• A tropical marine climate, hot, humid and salt-laden all year round, with high weathering and moisture resistance requirements for the topcoat;
• The petrochemical plant media are complex; acid mist and hydrocarbon leakage demand high chemical resistance of the coating;
• High-temperature pipelines and ambient-temperature steel structures coexist, requiring zone-by-zone selection.
