INEOS Oxide chooses Chocolate Bayou for its new Ethylene Oxide investment
INEOS Oxide confirms its new 1.2 billion lb/yr Ethylene Oxide (EO) unit and associated downstream Ethylene Oxide Derivatives (EOD) is to be built at INEOS’ Chocolate Bayou manufacturing works, south of Houston on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The new plant is expected to be operational in 2023.
Chocolate Bayou is currently host to two Olefins crackers, two Polypropylene units and two Cogen facilities operated by INEOS O&P USA.
A new Linear Alpha Olefins unit and associated downstream Poly Alpha Olefins unit are also currently under construction at the site by INEOS Oligomers, both scheduled for startup by yearend 2019
The selection of Chocolate Bayou to host the new EO & EOD facility will reinforce on-site integration to the benefit of both the crackers and the derivative assets. The availability of additional land close to the unit will also enable interested third-parties to co-locate and consume EO by pipeline.
The 971 hectare Chocolate Bayou Works facility is located 45 miles south of Houston, and is one of the largest cracker installations in the USA. The site has access to trucking, barging, rail service, cavern storage and approximately 500 miles of pipeline.
