韓国LGが天津にVCM35万トン、大型電解から一貫生産発表
韓国LG化学は10月29日、中国天津での電解～VCM計画を発表した。それによると、既存のPVCのJV(天津LG大沽化工)のプラントから10キロ離れた天津臨港産業区に、電解(ソーダ:24万トン、塩素:21万6000トン)、EDC(30万トン)、VCM(35万トン)の各プラントを建設する。
工期は今年12月から2006年12月までの25ヵ月。建設費は3億米ドル。VCMはLG大沽の既存PVCプラント（34万トン）に供給する。LG大沽ではPVCの増設を検討中。
同計画はLGグループ 75%、LG大沽化工 10%、及び後者の株主である大沽化工の親会社・渤海化学が15%出資したJVで行われる。(注、天津LG大沽化工はLG化学グループ85%、大沽化工15%)
LGでは中国のPVC需要は現在の年間640万トンから、2008年には850万トンに増えると見ており、天津で電解から一貫生産することでコスト競争力を確保し、中国
No.1 のPVCメーカーを目指す。
LGは2002年、中国でのPVC増設計画用に、豪州グラッドストーンで、現地の
Cheetham Salt と合弁で電解(ソーダ:24万トン)とEDC(30万トン)を生産する計画を発表したが、2003年夏採算性の理由から同計画を中止した。
現在、天津向けには韓国から供給するとともに、一部トクヤマから供給を受けている。

LG Chem Builds Plant for PVC Raw Materials in China
LG Chem, the top South Korean chemicals maker, said on Friday that it has built a plant for PVC (polyvinyl chloride) raw materials in China at a cost of $300 million (281 billion won), to directly produce plastics in the neighboring country.
(ceremony to mark the completion of a plant for PVC materials on Sep. 6)
LG Bohai, the firm’s Chinese unit, has completed construction of the plant on a 500,000 square meter site in Tianjin Province for production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and ethylene dichloride (EDC), the two main ingredients for PVC.
Company officials expected the Chinese plant will produce about 350,000 tons of VCM and 300,000 tons of EDC per year, bringing the company’s annual PVC output to a total of 920,000 tons, the world's sixth largest in capacity.
``We aim to expand the annual PVC production at the Chinese plant up to 400,000 tons (from 340,000tons) by 2008, a company spokesman said. Currently, LG Chem has an annual capacity of 580,000 tons at home.
LG Bohai will receive ethylene from LG Chem’s Daesan factory and produce VCM, all of which will be delivered to LG Dagu, the South Korean chemical company’s PVC unit in China, according to the spokesman.
