LMG Chemicals Corporation (LMG) is one of the significant Philippine industrial chemical companies. It is owned by the Chemical Industries of the Philippines, Inc. (CIP) with a super-majority of 74 % equity. Most of the other shares are held by Tomen Corporation and Kinki Transportation and Warehouse, Inc., both Japanese companies, together owning approximately 26%.

LMG has three (3) operating divisions: Pasig Operations, Batangas Oerations and The Bulk Chemical Terminal.


LMG-Pasig Operations

The main products are: sulfuric acid: technical grade and chemically pure; oleum; and sulfur flakes. The manufacturing plant is located in Bo. Kalawaan, Pasig.

LMG-Pasig Operations' Monsanto technology sulfuric acid plant replaced two old plants in December 1994. LMG now operates a state-of-the-art double contact/double absorption sulfuric acid plant. The plant uses a technology that

  • provides a clear solution to the critical problem of the local oil refineries - that of recycling the molten sulfur - a by-product that is a hazard to the environment if allowed to accumulate. LMG's sulfuric acid plant uses the molten sulfur as raw material. LMG has exclusive molten sulfur off-take contracts with the three biggest oil refineries, namely, Shell, Caltex and Petron.

  • contributes to the solution of intermittent power shortage in the industrial community - in that the plant is equipped with a turbo generator that can provide power to the adjacent plants in the same compound. This way, it can minimize the dependence on the Manila Electric Company which in turn can more adequately respond to the other users of power in the community.

Additionally, the manufacturing process is more environment-friendly with an SO2 gas emission of only 250 parts per million (ppm), well below the government's maximum limit of 1,250 ppm.

The new acid plant reinforces LMG's dominance in the sulfuric acid with the four-fold increase of its production capacity from 24,000 metric tons per year (MTPY) to 90,000 MTPY, the nameplate capacity of the new acid plant.


Bulk Chemical Terminal

The Bulk Chemical Terminal Division of LMG is located in Pinamucan, Batangas.

It is designed to receive, store, package and deliver liquid and solid chemicals. It expand LMG's strategic storage capacity and trading capabilities. It provides tank farm services to other companies.

The tank farm consists of a T-head pier, capable of receiving 40,000 deadweight ton tankers. It also has barge quay, tank lorry station and drumming facility to accommodate deliveries of any quantity. The tank farm contains nine (9) individual tanks, including a 2,500 NT rubber-lined tank and supplemental facilities such as a 10,000 - 15,000 MT capacity warehouse and a conveyor system for dry cargo.

The bulk terminal is particularly equipped with the facilities to receive and store and transfer sulfur in molten form to final destination - There are two special tanks -- each designed to store 1,100 MT of molten sulfur at the temperature of 1500 centigrade. The tank farm therefore has the capability of receiving imported molten sulfur directly from an ocean-going vessel.

In addition to its manufacturing and the bulk terminal activities, LMG is also active in the trading business. LMG, through its marketing arm, CMC, a 100%-owned subsidiary, CMC has an existing agreement with GFI Far East PTE Ltd. The agreement makes CMC the exclusive agent of GFI Far East in the Philippines in the selling of liquid caustic soda and other industrial chemicals. GFI Far East is an affiliate of GFI, Inc., one of the leading chemical distributors in the United States.
