K-COT

• Goal: Lower Feedstock Costs while keeping downstream PE

and PP plants fully loaded (→ constant P/E ratio)
• Conventional Cracker: ability to swap in C3 LPG limited to
25% → Benefit @ C3/LN 0.9 = $29/ton ethylene
• K-COT: able to swap in 75%! → Benefit @ C3/LN 0.9 =
$93/ton ethylene (i.e. $74/ton ethylene more benefit) 16
On-purpose Propylene Demand
• 25 MMTA in 10 years
• 4-6 world scale PDH plants
per year
• China, India , SE Asia
(demand & import
independence) plus
availability of LPG imports
• US, Middle East (feedstock
advantage)
• Everywhere where there is
a need or benefit to having
on-site on-purpose
propylene production for
further growth or
integration
