Total lists capacity for new Texas ethane cracker
Total's proposed new ethane cracker near its
refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, is being designed to have a capacity of 1 million tpy, the company said Monday in a permit application to the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Construction on the cracker could start in June 2016, the company said, with operations starting three years later. The
project would include seven ethane-cracking heaters.
Total first mentioned the possible
project in May 2013 and is currently looking for partners who could have ownership stakes and help with plant operations.
Total has not disclosed any potential partners on the ethylene
project.
