Our<br />

Our production<br />

Our major goal called for the optimal operation of our petrochemicals business, the maximum utilization of available<br />

capacity and the resulting growth of production volume along with efficiency improvements.<br />

Highlights<br />

The economic pillar of sustainable development<br />

is extremely important for <strong>TVK</strong>.<br />

The most important challenges we must face are<br />

related to the life cycle of our products: reducing<br />

environmental impacts, improving product<br />

quality, ensuring safe products and production<br />

processes and expanding our long term portfolio<br />

biologically degradable products.<br />

Our current production processes and each<br />

development must be based on scientific results<br />

and the best available technology.<br />

Competitive advantages<br />

According to our ‘crude to plastic’ philosophy we optimize<br />

our petrochemical and refining production through the<br />

whole hydrocarbon value chain, which not only maximize<br />

our profitability but reduce the risk on group level.<br />

We exploit synergies from integration to enhance our<br />

operational excellence considering coordinated planning,<br />

feedstock supply with refining and shared services within<br />

MOL Group. These elements provide us significant<br />

benefits and flexibility. Our geographical location<br />

also gives a competitive advantage, offering low-cost<br />

access to the fast growing polymer markets of Central<br />

Europe. We have a competitive asset base with a wellbalanced<br />

product portfolio. Our highly talented staff has<br />

capabilities and experiences to manage most effectively<br />

our operation and to face the challenges as well.<br />

Reconstruction and development program<br />

In <strong>2010</strong>, the major parts of investments were the maintenance<br />

projects renovations in an amount of HUF 3,583 million and<br />

the efficiency improvement individual projects in a value<br />

of HUF 1,577 million. We spent HUF 343 million on other<br />

development projects, within which value of Olefin-1,<br />

Olefin-2 and PP4 catalyst purchase was HUF 198 million.<br />

Production processes<br />

We utilise our vertically integrated structure of production to<br />

produce raw materials for plastics processing from a variety<br />

of hydrocarbons. The production process includes two major<br />

stages: making monomers and polymerisation.<br />

The olefin plants convert the naphtha, gas oil and liquefied<br />

gases purchased from the MOL Group into ethylene<br />

and propylene to be processed into polyethylene and<br />

polypropylene in <strong>TVK</strong>’s own polymer plants. Ethylene,<br />

produced in the olefin plants is sold to BorsodChem. In 2009<br />

we concluded a contract with Synthos, one of the largest<br />

chemical companies in Poland for the supply of raw C4<br />

fraction during <strong>2010</strong>-2012. The surplus propylene produced<br />

in the olefin plants are sold to Slovnaft Petrochemicals and<br />

external customers.<br />

The MOL Group uses the co-products cracking, such as<br />

isobutylene, benzene-toluene, C8 and C9 fractions to make<br />

MTBE and benzene or as components in blended gasoline<br />

and heating oil. Quench oil is utilised as feedstock for making<br />

carbon black by Tiszai Columbian Koromgyártó Kft., located<br />

in the <strong>TVK</strong> industrial complex<br />

Olefin production<br />

The Olefin-1 Plant started up in 1975 and Olefin-2 came<br />

on line at <strong>TVK</strong> site in 2004. Both utilise Linde technology.<br />

Calculated for ethylene, the annual capacity of the two<br />

plants from 2008 increased from 620 kt to 660 kt as a result<br />

of the efficiency improvement modifications made in 2007.<br />

In <strong>2010</strong>, the Olefin plants’ monomer production (ethylene<br />

and propylene together) exceeded the former year’s same<br />

value. Monomer production of Olefin plants increased by 5%<br />

compared to previous year.<br />

In <strong>2010</strong>, the sales income of olefin production increased by<br />

63 %, ethylene output was higher by 5% compared to 2009.<br />

The capacity utilisation of both plants calculated for ethylene<br />

increased from 86% to 90%.<br />
