Shell Chemical Expanding Bayou State Ops, Ramping Up Ethane Use

摘要

Shell Chemical has made the final investment decision (FID) to construct a new alpha olefins production unit at its chemical manufacturing site in Geismar, Louisiana, which will make the site the largest alpha olefins producer in the world. This will be the fourth unit at the complex and will add 425,000 tons of capacity for a total of 1.3 million tons. The facility produces polyethylene plastic for packaging and bottles, as well as engine and industrial oils and drilling fluids.
