Process Innovation
In 2025, GC strived to develop eco-friendly process innovations with enhanced efficiency. Accordingly, several major projects were carried out, e.g., Advance Membrane Separation Technology to Streamline Separation Efficiency in Production Process, Upgrading Light Cracked Bottom Olefins (LCB OLE) to Raw Pygas/Pygas, Visbreaker Unit Optimization Model: Phase 3, and Bisphenol A (BPA) Tar Cracking for Phenol Reuse. These projects demonstrate GC’s commitment to optimize resource efficiency and promote sustainability in accordance with international standards.
Outstanding Process Innovations in 2025
Reduce Costs and Enhance Manufacturing Models with Molecular Expertise and In-house Lab
GC has developed production innovations by leveraging molecular-level expertise in conjunction with the capabilities of its In-house Lab to significantly enhance efficiency and reduce production costs. This approach focuses on optimizing production conditions (Optimize Condition) to achieve maximum benefits (Maximize Benefit), utilizing in-depth analysis and advanced technology to address issues arising in the production process. A key highlight is the application of thorough testing and molecular-level analysis to improve the production process, minimize energy losses, increase raw material utilization efficiency, and optimize machinery operating conditions. This innovation can generate business value through patent registration under the GC brand.
