Cargill expands edible oil plant
The project marks a significant milestone in Indonesia’ s industrial downstream strategy, transforming natural gas resources into high-value chemical products, including ammonia, urea, and melamine, within a fully integrated industrial ecosystem. Located in East Java, JIIPE offers a fully integrated environment combining industrial land, deep-sea port access, and supporting infrastructure within a designated Special Economic Zone. The project adopts next-generation process technology that significantly improves operational efficiency and sustainability performance.
Cargill has announced the expansion of its edible oil plant in Port Klang, Malaysia with a new specialty fats production line. The multi-million-dollar investment will broaden Cargill’ s global portfolio with more comprehensive specialty fat products and strengthen its overall food solutions offerings, enabling customers to develop chocolate confectionery, bakery and dairy products tailored to diverse market and consumer needs. The expanded facility in Port Klang enables advanced palm oil processes, producing a broad and versatile range of cocoa butter equivalents, low-trans fatty acid cocoa butter replacers, and specialty fats for chocolate confectionery, frying, baking or fillings applications.
Honeywell helps Dangote deliver petrochemical expansion
JIIPE accelerates industrial investment with Melamine
Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate( JIIPE) continues to strengthen its position as a strategic hub for large-scale industrial investment, following the groundbreaking of a USD 600M integrated melamine project by Golden Elephant( GEABH).
Honeywell will provide industry-leading petrochemical process technologies and catalysts to Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE( Dangote) to create plastics and detergents, helping the region strengthen energy security by reducing reliance on imports, stimulating industrial growth and strengthening regional supply chains. Dangote will use Honeywell UOP’ s Oleflex™ technology to produce an additional 750,000 metric tons of propylene annually at the refinery, supporting the manufacturing of packaging materials, consumer goods and industrial products. Additionally, Dangote will deploy a suite of Honeywell UOP’ s petrochemical technologies and catalysts to make 400,000 metric tons per year of linear alkylbenzene( LAB), a key ingredient in detergents and surfactants for household and industrial cleaning products. The company is using Honeywell’ s technology to grow its refining capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2028.
