LyondellBasell to Build HDPE Plant on U.S. Gulf Coast

摘要

Adding to several other projects underway to bring on new PE capacity, Houston-based LyondellBasell has announced that it will build a 1.1-billion Ib/yr HDPE plant on the U.S. Gulf Coast, with a 2019 startup date. The company has yet to identify the exact location. This will be the first commercial plant to utilize the company's new Hyperzone PE technology, a cascade gas-phase process based on LyondellBasell's unique Multizone circulating-reactor technology.
