Liquigaz Philippines Corporation was established in 1995 and is now one of the largest LPG
suppliers in the Philippines. Equipped with over 29 years of experience, Liquigaz is a fully-
integrated LPG company that serves all market segments in the country with its wide
network of Import Terminals, Filling Plants, and Logistics Assets.

For over years, Liquigaz is proud to be the number one trusted LPG supplier in Luzon that
highlights and prioritizes customer satisfaction and reliability.

As the fastest growing LPG supplier in the Philippines, we commit to offer quality and
innovative solutions to every LPG user while giving safety enforcement and environmental
compliance which are manifested in our products and services.

Located in Mariveles, Bataan, the Liquigaz North Terminal is one of the largest LPG import
facilities with a storage capacity of 12,500 Metric Tons. The terminal is suited for the
receiving, storing, partial mixing, and distributing of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Liquigaz North Terminal follows global standards in safety and product quality. It has an in-
house laboratory that ensures that all products being received will pass the Philippine
National Standards for LPG (PNS/DOE QS 005;2005) before they are delivered to our
customers. It is located at HTIC Sitio Marina, Brgy Alas-Asin Mariveles Bataan where the
old Hyatt Oil Terminal was situated.

III. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Liquigaz Philippines Corporation South Terminal Project or as we call it North

Terminal is located at HTIC Sitio Marina, Brgy Alas-Asin Mariveles Bataan bounded by
TAYABAS BAY on its southern portion where the LPG port facilities will be located. It is an
LPG terminal, storage and distribution facility that will run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It
will hold 4 x 500 MT and 6 x 100 MT above ground bullet tanks and 1 x 2500MT above
ground spherical tank to store propane, butane and LPG mix. In the future, mounded
storage tank will emerge mimicking the mounded storage in our Bataan Terminal. The
existing initial project is covered by Environmental Compliance Certificate, ECC-R4A-1603-
0069. Its office can accommodate 15 to 25 employees.

Initially, the terminal will get its products from bulk loading. Bulk loading operations
involve loading of LPG from storage tanks to lorry or vice versa. To fully understand the
process, please refer to the LPG Loading / Unloading Process Flow.

The terminal is equipped with a generator set in case of power outage and a fire
pump to supply sea and fresh water for the sprinklers and fire fighting equipment.

(degraded or decomposed) by microbial organisms or enzymes; domestic type of
generated waste from kitchen, canteen and refuse from gardening or landscaping
or similar materials, i.e., food refuse, garden refuse, paper, carton boxes, tissue,
etc.

 Non-biodegradable – waste materials that cannot be easily decomposed by

natural influences like biological action or sunlight, i.e., used plastic packaging
materials, candy wrappers, Styrofoam, etc

 Recyclable – any waste material retrieved from the waste stream and free from
contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial use or for other
 purposes, including but not limited to newspaper, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap
metal, office paper, tin cans, jars and bottles.

Office paper, envelopes and folders for re-use shall be contained separately and the
receptacle to be marked as “Paper for Use”. Used office paper (both side are used)
newspapers, magazines and other used paper materials for disposal shall be
contained in a separate receptacle marked as “Recyclable – Paper.” Another
container marked as Recyclable – Others” shall be used for other recyclable materials
like tin cans, glass jars and plastic bottles. Used carton boxes shall be collapsed and
kept in the storage area for future collection. Condemned equipment and bulky
scrap materials shall be labeled as such.

 Hazardous – solid waste or combination of waste which because of its quantity,

concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may: cause or
significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious
irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness; or pose a substantial or potential
hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored,
transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed, i.e., WTP sludge, used oil,
contaminated materials, used batteries, spent chemicals, etc.
