Factory visit tour
The factory tour was conducted on 8 March.
We visited SCG Co. Ltd. under Prof.
Tawatchai’s guidance. The factory in Rayong
prefecture is one of the biggest petroleum
refining plant in Thailand, where principal
products are ethylene and propylene.

We looked around the control room andmain machines, such as cracking furnace
unit for petroleum, olefins recovery unit
and so on. The scale of all machines weremuch bigger than we imagined. Those of
all in the factory made us very surprised.
