Total Oil Asia Pacific, a French petrochemical company, opened a new lubricant blending plant in Singapore. Its local production will double and the regional production capacity will increase by 30%.
The plant at Singapore Lush Park in the Tuas Reclamation South Sea area is the company’s largest lubricant blending plant in the world and will increase its supply in the Asia Pacific region.
Thanks to the use of a fully-automated blending system and the most modern filling machine, the new plant opened yesterday will have an annual production capacity of 310,000 metric tons, equivalent to the replacement of 62 million vehicles.
It is estimated that the Asian lubricants market is expected to grow by 2.5% annually and reach 70 billion US dollars (S$94.4 billion) by 2020.
Total is the fourth largest integrated oil and gas company in the world. Its local new plant is one of the earliest factories in the world to use a tank farm and a dock, and these two facilities are used together with the other two companies. With immediate access to the terminal, the company will have 11,000 trucks left every year once the plant is fully operational.
Zhang Zhixian, deputy prime minister and minister of national security co-ordination, said at the opening of the new plant yesterday that Total's construction of a new plant in the Singaporean country demonstrated its confidence in using Singapore as a business strategy hub. The company’s growth strategy is consistent with Singapore’s economic transformation and efforts to increase productivity.
He pointed out that the company is integrating its two local factories into the new factory. This is also its first two-story lubricant plant. The new plant is part of the joint venture “Singapore Lubricants Park†and the other shareholders in the park are Shell and Sino Petrochemical Group (SINOPEC).
“This unique and synergistic concept allows Singapore to make full use of limited land while companies can save costs by sharing facilities.â€
He said that in terms of improving productivity, the company’s automated technology allows its filling line to use only two workers to produce 250 barrels per hour. In the past, five workers produced 160 barrels per hour. Increase nearly 3 times.
Natural gas drive waste is minimized
In addition, the company will also use natural gas to drive heating systems that produce lubricating oils, as well as apply the latest technology in lubricant blending and wastewater treatment to minimize waste.
According to Philippe Boisseau, Total Marketing & Strategy and New Energy President, Asia has a population of over 4 billion and is the main area where the company’s future energy demand will grow. By 2025, the lubricant market is expected to reach 20 million metric tons.
He said that when the company decided to build a new factory in China, the main purpose was to cater to the growing demands of local and Asia. "The factory will produce "Singapore-made" lubricants for cars, motorcycles and trucks , as well as industrial and marine uses in 27 countries in the region. We can also supply more lubricants to ships coming to Singapore ports."
