To meet the significant demand of the complex, Projek Air Mentah RAPID (PAMER) was developed an award-winning infrastructure featuring Malaysia’s first twin-pipeline system, capable of delivering up to 260 million litres of raw water per day (MLD).

These pipelines include innovative interconnections spanning the 90-kilometre route from Seluyut Dam to the Raw Water Treatment Plant (RWTP) at PIC. Approximately 230 MLD of raw water is supplied to PIC operations, while an additional 30 MLD is channelled to support Johor state’s public water supply, reflecting PAMER’s dual role in both industrial and community well-being. In addition, compensation flows from the dam support downstream ecosystems, while proactive catchment and river basin management help ensure consistent water quality.

At the Raw Water Treatment Plant (RWTP), raw water undergoes a comprehensive treatment process to produce treated water suitable for distribution. The facility operates three treatment trains to manage water processing efficiently. In alignment with our commitment to sustainable water management and the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), the third train has been equipped to utilise recycled water sourced from the Storm Water Drain. This initiative contributes to the conservation of raw water from Seluyut Dam by reducing reliance on the dam’s freshwater supply by approximately 10–15% (equivalent to 6 million cubic meters per year) of the total water demand at PIC, underscoring PETRONAS’ commitment to sustainable resource management. The treated water is primarily utilised for steam generation (After undergoing further purification in Demin Units), for cooling water and for fire water system.

Extending the sustainability focus throughout the water cycle, the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is an integrated facility designed to treat effluent from all PIC operations. With a treatment capacity of 4,600 cubic metres per hour, the plant uses energy-efficient and cost-effective technologies that comply with Malaysia’s Industrial Effluent Regulations (IER 2009) – Standard B.

Treated effluent is responsibly discharged through stormwater outfalls, supporting marine life protection and maintaining ecological balance, demonstrating PETRONAS’ steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship.

The Air Separation Unit (ASU) at PIC is able to deliver up to 1,400 tonnes of Oxygen (O²) per day and 750 tonnes of Nitrogen (N²) per day.

Utilising cryogenic fractional distillation technology at temperatures as low as -196°C, the ASU efficiently separates atmospheric air into its primary components, Oxygen (O²) and Nitrogen (N²), directly on site.

This production model not only ensures a highly reliable and consistent gas supply but also eliminates the need for complex logistics and costly transportation, optimising operational efficiency across the entire value chain.

By eliminating dependency on external deliveries, it ensures a stable, uninterrupted gas supply, directly supporting the complex’s high-performance refining and petrochemical operations.

Both Oxygen (O2) and Nitrogen (N2) play vital roles in refining and petrochemical processes—oxygen in combustion and oxidation reactions, and nitrogen in inerting, purging, and blanketing applications.

With the unit on site, PIC is equipped with a critical infrastructure asset that underpins process stability, safety, and performance.

The regasification terminal plays an integral role in PIC, where Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is received, stored, and converted back into gas to serve two important needs — supplying energy to PIC and channelling gas into the Peninsular Gas Utilisation (PGU) pipeline network.

With a nameplate capacity of approximately 490 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) and connected to the PGU through the 72-kilometre Pengerang Gas Pipeline (PGP), the terminal ensures a steady and reliable flow of gas to support both industrial and household energy demand.

The terminal also connects Malaysia to the global LNG market, receiving carriers from around the world and offering a full range of services, including:

• LNG storage capacity of up to 537,000 cubic metres (m³), comprising 400,000 cubic metres (m³) in onshore tanks and 137,000 cubic metres (m³) in a Floating Storage Unit (FSU)

• A dedicated LNG jetty for unloading and reloading

• Specialised Gassing Up and Cooling Down (GUCD) services for LNG vessels

• LNG trucking with a capacity of 43 cubic metres per hour (m³/hr)

With its scale, connectivity, and modern facilities, the regasification terminal plays a vital role in strengthening Malaysia’s energy security while supporting growth at PIC and beyond.
