Two new polyethylene lines were mechanically completed at ExxonMobil Chemical Company’s plastics plant at Mont Belvieu, TX, the Houston-based petrochemical company announced Monday.
Slated to become operational in the third quarter of 2017, the lines will process about 650,00 tn/yr of ethylene feedstock from an ExxonMobil steam cracker that is currently being built at the nearby Baytown complex.
“As an early mover to complete a polyethylene project fueled by the shale gas revolution, this world-scale, state-of-the-art facility will double the plant’s production capacity, making it one of the largest polyethylene plants in the world,” Neil Chapman, president of ExxonMobil Chemical said in a statement.
