The former Mitsubishi Chemical ethylene plant in Kashima is now known as the Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Ibaraki Plant (三菱ケミカル株式会社 茨城事業所)[1]:
- The Ibaraki Plant, located in the Kashima Coastal Industrial Zone, has produced ethylene and other petrochemicals since 1971
-
While Mitsubishi Chemical has restructured its petrochemical business and formed new joint ventures (such as Kashima Complex LLP with ENEOS), the site and its assets-including the ethylene facility-remain under the ownership of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.
-
The plant is still commonly referred to as the "Ibaraki Plant," and this is the name used in official documents and press releases.
Mitsubishi Chemical has a steam cracker in Kashima with an ethylene production capacity of 564,000 mt/year. It shut one steam cracker there in 2014 -- which has an ethylene production capacity of 375,000 mt/year -- following a sluggish petrochemical demand in the country. JXTG* currently supplies naphtha via pipeline from the 197,100 b/d Kashima refinery to Mitsubishi Chemical's steam cracker in the Kashima complex. JXTG's Kashima refinery also has a 35,100 b/d condensate splitter[2].
*Now ENEOS
