Figure 1 - Kawasaki Refinery Aerial View

The Kawasaki refinery is located on the Keihin oceanfront, a convenient area for both land and marine transport adjacent to the Tokyo metropolitan area,   Japan’s largest consumer market.

The Kawasaki refinery is the largest refinery in the ENEOS Group, with one of the highest refining capacities in the country. It also has Japan’s largest fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC) and the nation’s only resid hydroconversion unit (H-Oil).

The annual production of ethylene is approximately 1 million tons, the highest in Japan, with the refinery and production unit organically linked on the same site.

The proximity of the petroleum refinery and the petrochemical plant facilitates mutual product supply,  the sharing of facilities, and organization integration. This results in a highly efficient production system.
