Operations started at new cracker in Texas

The integrated facility has an ethylene capacity of 1.5m t/y and will supply two existing PE lines at the company's neighbouring Mont Belvieu site. Plans for a new cracker were announced in 2012, propelled by the shale gas "revolution" at the time, and mechanically completed at the beginning of 2018 – see Plasteurope.com of 12.02.2018.
