为了达到这个目标,LG化学公司在2019年前将耗资2870亿韩元(2.519亿美元)用于扩大乙烯产能,从而把其乙烯年总产能提高到243万吨。
LG化学公司还说,该公司将在明年上半年把两条聚苯乙烯生产线中的一条生产线转变成生产丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物。
这样一来,LG化学公司的丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物年产能将增加3万吨至88万吨,而聚苯乙烯的年产量将减少5万吨,年产量届时将减少到5万吨。

S Korea's LG Chem to boost Daesan ethylene output by 22% in 3 years
Singapore (Platts)--17 Oct 2016
South Korea's LG Chem plans to increase the ethylene production capacity of its naphtha-fed steam cracker at Daesan by 230,000 mt/year, or 22%, to 1.27 million mt/year in the next three years, the company said Monday.
To achieve that, the company will spend Won 287 billion ($251.9 million) on the expansion by 2019, it said, thereby boosting its overall ethylene capacity to 2.43 million mt/year.
Also, LG Chem said it will convert one of two polystyrene production lines to produce acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene over first-half 2017.
As such, the company's ABS capacity will increase 30,000 mt/year to 880,000 mt/year, while PS production will fall 50,000 mt/year to 50,000 mt/year.
