Chemical & Petrochemical

The Chemical & Petrochemical industry plays a critical role in transforming raw hydrocarbons and other materials into essential products such as plastics, resins, solvents, fertilizers, synthetic rubber, and specialty chemicals. These facilities operate under high pressure, corrosive, and high-temperature environments, demanding precision engineering, strict safety compliance, and continuous maintenance support.

ELBEMA supports these plants with multi-discipline industrial services aimed at enhancing reliability, safety, and efficiency.


Overview of Chemical & Petrochemical Processing

Major Processing Units:

  1. Steam Cracking / Naphtha Cracker

  2. Polymerization Units (PE, PP, PVC)

  3. Aromatics Extraction (BTX – Benzene, Toluene, Xylene)

  4. Fertilizer Production (Ammonia, Urea)

  5. Chlor-Alkali Plants

  6. Organic and Inorganic Chemical Plants

These facilities involve continuous processes where unplanned downtime can result in major production losses, making preventive maintenance and automation critical.
