About Us

Petrochemicals are an essential part of the chemical industry. The final consumer never sees these chemicals as they undergo several transformations before becoming part of the final product the consumer buys.

They play a fundamental role in many areas of our everyday lives from their presence in household goods, electronics, medicines, and leisure to highly specialised fields such as renewable energy or crime detection. Increasing product demands has meant an increase in refineries, plants and consequently jobs meaning the petrochemical industry is an important player in many countries’ economies.

Petro Asia’s Petrochemicals business is dedicated to sustainable growth focused on the global physical trade and distribution of polymers, olefins, and aromatic petrochemical products.

We achieve this through a combination of physical offtake and marketing agreements, and by maintaining focus on the entire petrochemical supply chain.

Petro Asia has expanded its business to software products. We have set up a team of qualified professionals to provide software solutions to customers that need it the most. We have built up in-depth knowledge-base of several industries by studying the flow of business to understand the gaps and gone a step ahead to build solutions that bridge those gaps, making it easier for businesses in these industries to get quicker and better MIS.

Our software division is ever evolving and growing to add more industries and solutions to our basket

Types of Petrochemicals

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum or natural gas.

The two most common categories are Olefins and Aromatics. Crude oil and natural gas are refined and processed respectively to produce naphtha, ethane, propane/liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and methane. A series of further processes such as steam cracking, catalytic reforming, and propane dehydrogenation results in a multitude of petrochemicals that eventually make their way into products that the final customer sees.

Examples of petrochemicals and their derivatives include:

Olefins (Alkenes):

Ethylene – ethylbenzene, ethylene oxide, ethyl alcohol, ethylene dichloride, polyethylenes, acetaldehyde, ethanolamines, ethylene glycol ethers, diethylene glycol, styrene
Propylene – acrylonitrile, cumene, propylene oxide, isopropanol, butyraldehyde, acrylic acid, polypropylene, phenol, acetone, propylene glycol, isopropyl acetate
Butadiene – styrene butadiene rubber, nitrite synthetic rubber

Aromatics:

In addition to petrochemicals there are speciality and organic chemicals that are not produced through oil and gas. Speciality chemicals subcategories include adhesives, agrichemicals, cleaning materials, cosmetic additives, elastomers, food additives and lubricants. They differ from other chemicals in that each one may have only one or two uses. They are used industrially for specific purposes. While some speciality chemicals are organic chemicals, not all are.

Organic chemicals are a class of substances containing at least one carbon atom. Examples of organic chemicals include acyclic hydrocarbons, cyclic alcohols, phenols, ethers, ketone peroxides, carboxylic acids and sugars.

Petrochemical Applications

Olefins (Alkenes):

Ethylene – in consumer electronics, automotive components, food packaging, footwear, tyres, paper, adhesives, detergents, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals
Propylene – sports equipment, textiles, furniture, construction, acrylic paints, sportswear, unbreakable glass, kitchen appliances
Butadiene – gardening implements detergents, agrochemicals, fuel, chewing gum, engine lubricants

Aromatics:

Software Products

We are a digital transformation consultancy and software development company that provides cutting edge engineering solutions, helping companies and enterprise clients unravel complex issues that always emerge during their digital evolution journey. We have been a visionary and a reliable software engineering partner for customers globally.

Our methodology has been to pick industries and deploy functional teams to study the flow of data and transactions so as to get complete understanding of the business.

We do case studies at multiple players of the industry to talk to actual users, middle management and executive levels to learn the problems faced, hurdles, bottlenecks and gaps at the data entry level. The next step is to talk to senior level and management level personnel to understand the MIS requirements, shortfall and other issues. We finally document the case, design a complete solution, develop and implement the right tools and roll out a packaged product that will benefit all players in the industry.

The design and development is a continuous process as the industry evolves, and also as we learn more and more. In addition, as and when customers may need, we are also equipped to build customised add-ons and modules to help organizations set up better IT environments and robust MIS engines.

Lastly, our teams are always looking for other products that compliment our offerings to offer a complete product basket for our esteemed customers.
