SITE LOCATION
3.1 Introduction
Phthalic anhydride is essential in production of poly esters resin and use in the
making of solvent-based coating for architectural, machinery, furniture, fixture
applications, detergents, fire retardants, herbicides and insecticides. To produce
100,000 tonne/annum production of phthalic anhydride the location need to be in the
industrial area processing crude petroleum due to the availability of its raw material.
The choice of final site location is based on the comparison of the advantages and
disadvantages of all location. There are five location which are considered for Phthalic
Anhydride Plant that is Gebeng Industrial Estate (Pahang), Pasir Gudang(Johor),
Kertih(Terengganu), Tanjung Industrial Park(Selangor) and Tanjung Kidurong
(Bintulu).
3-1
3.2.1 Criteria for Site Location
The first major criteria in considerable in set up a plant is the availability of raw
material supply. Raw material to produce PAN is o-xylene that can be obtain from
petroleum industries via cracking process. The cost of transportation can be reduced
by obtaining the raw material from plant nearby. The site is located near port area to
easily transport its raw material and product.
Raw material supply is one of the important aspect to be consider, the usage
of the raw material is a must to produce PAN. Mainly the raw material supply will be
related to the transportation cost hence the distance between the plant and supplier
need to be reachable and easy to access.
The plant should be accessible to three major transport facility such as airport,
port, and high road network. Road transportation is the commonly used to transport
raw material and product. For import and export from overseas, water transportation is
convenient in term of quantity of product and raw material that can be transported to
respective location. Air transportation utilized in term of time, it is the fastest way to
export and export product and raw material.
Labour is one of the important aspect to operate and build plant. Skilled
construction worker usually be brought from oversea, it is better if labour is local
community. Highly trained professional from local university and oversea need to be
hired to operate the plant smoothly. Local community need to be given a working
opportunity to create a good relationship between company and local resident.
3-2
3.2.6 Utilities Supply
The cost of land influences the startup capital sufficient, suitable land must be
available for proposed plant and for its future expansion. The land should ideally flat,
well drained and have suitable load bearing characteristic. The full site inspection and
evaluation should be made to determine the need for piling or special foundation.
3.2.8 Climate
All industrial processing plant produce waste and full consideration must be
given to difficulties in term of waste handling cost. The plant site should have special
waste treatment system such as water treatment or special place to store the waste
effluent before being treated by contractor. Based on the standard and procedure of
Department of Environment, water discharge from plant must be treated first before
being released to drain or river. The untreated discharged water can harm aquatic life,
environment and human as it may contain trace of metal and harmful chemical. Thus,
Site location for the plant must have a proper waste effluent treatment plant.
3-3
3.2.10 Political and Strategic Consideration
The proposed location for the plant must be acceptable by local community to
consider their safety. The local community need to be informed about the process of
the plant to ensure they get an overview of the safety and potential risk living near the
facilities. On the new site local community must be able to provide adequate facilities
for plant personnel and worker such as school, bank, house, and recreational area.
The Proposed site location is based on the area that has designated by federal
government to operate chemical plant:
A) Gebeng Industrial Estate,Pahang
B) Pasir Gudang, Johor
C) Kerteh, Terenggganu
D) Tanjung Industrial Park Klang, Selangor
E) Tanjung Kidurong Bintulu, Sarawak.
Location of the proposed location is shown by figure below and comparison for criteria
selection shown in Table 3.3.1.

3.4 Conclusion
The comparison been made through between five locations shown in Table 3.1-
a, this selection is based on Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management
Planning Unit(MAMPU) under the Economic Transformation Programme which
involving gazette area under project of East Coast Economic Region (ECER) for
Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu, Iskandar Malaysia for Johor, Sarawak Corridor
Renewable Energy (SCORE) for Sarawak and Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) for
Sabah [14]. The evaluation of screening and scoring method the best location to set
up Phthalic anhydride plant is Gebeng Industrial Estate Pahang. It is due to the
availability of raw material from BASF Petronas Chemical Sdn. Bhd. that located about
6.8km [15] from proposed location the cost of transportation is far more convenient and
efficient.
Based on Table 3.1 all the location has sufficient facilities, strategic location
area, utilities availability, and high labour availability. Based on the comparison from
Table 3.1 land price for Gebeng Industrial Estate is RM 5-RM20 Per Feet that is
cheaper compare to Pasir Gudang RM 25 - RM250 Per Feet, Kerteh RM2 - RM 20 Per
Feet, Tanjung Industrial Park Klang RM 50 - RM150 Per Square Feet and Tanjung
Kidurong RM 40 – RM 100 which is far more expansive. In term of water rate tariff is
cheaper with only RM0.84 for water more than 227 m3 compare to Tanjung Kidurong
Bintulu RM1.12 for water more than 23 m3. The location proposed have a potential
costumer such as Polyplastic Asia Pacific Sdn. Bhd. and TORAY BASF PBT Resin
Sdn. Bhd. in their production of polymer based product.
In term of environmental, Gabeng Industrial Estate has been gazetted for the
chemical industries as stated in East Cost Economic Region (ECER), the safety aspect
such as residential buffer zone and emergency response force to be considered. As
Shown in figure 3.6 below, the primary buffer zone to the nearest buffer zone are is
about 12.1 km to residential and commercial area and 35.7 km to the nearest hospital
as shown in figure 3.7 below. The distance has comply with the guideline by
Department Of Environment (DOE) that stated primary buffer zone should not be less
1km[16].
