TWO MONTHS AFTER HARVEY HIT THE GULF COAST EXXON MOBIL FIRES UP HUGE NEW TEXAS PLANT

摘要

Exxon Mobil on began production at a new petrochemical facility in Mont Belvieu, Texas, just two months after Hurricane Harvey pummeled the U.S. Gulf Coast and hobbled the U.S. refining and specialty chemicals hub. The new first of two lines turning out polyethylene - the most common plastic used in manufacturing- will increase the plant's output by 650,000 tons per year. The next line at Mont Belvieu will match that addition and bring total production at the plant to 2.5 million tons per year, making it one of the biggest polyethylene plants in the world.
