150 M in the two projects since 2006. According to Shell Malaysia Gas & Power, the Bintulu plant will be developed as an R&D centre for GTL technology for the group. The two projects are an enhanced Shell gasification process for GTL to increase the efficiency of the process through optimised energy integration and the heavy paraffin synthesis demonstration project, a pilot scale facility that could help enhance the performance of Shell's proprietary GTL catalyst through more efficient and effective conversion of feed gas. The investment at Bintulu will be mainly to expand product range and maintenance and upgrading works rather than building capacity. The plant has a production capacity of 14,700 bbl/day of liquid products and waxes and employs about 360 persons.
