LyondellBasell (LYB) Commissions PO/TBA Unit in Texas
Read MoreHide Full Article
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB - Free Report) has started the world's largest Propylene Oxide (PO) and Tertiary Butyl Alcohol (TBA) unit in Texas. The annual capacity of the new assets on the U.S. Gulf Coast is 470,000 metric tons of PO and one million metric tons of TBA and its derivatives.
The world-leading capacity of the new plant will enable LyondellBasell to meet the rising demand for products essential for modern life. This project advances the company's goals and creates value while meeting customers’ needs. It involves a collaborative effort between multiple project teams at Bayport, Channelview and around the world to deliver a project of this scale, LYB noted.
The project is part of LYB's multi-billion dollar series of investments along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The PO/TBA project is anticipated to deliver more than $450 million in tax benefits over a 10-year period for the county, school system, community college, and other local taxing districts, as reported by a Greater Houston Partnership study.
The Bayport Complex served as the foundation for the development of LyondellBasell PO/TBA operations, with the first PO/TBA unit starting operations in 1969. The plant at the Channelview Complex is the most energy-efficient PO/TBA facility in the company’s history. The company has more than 50 years of global experience with PO/TBA operations and the implementation of innovations in yield improvement and PO recovery.
LyondellBasell stock has lost 16.5% over the past year against a 2.9% decline of its industry.
