LyondellBasell has announced plans to expand Tri-ethylene Glycol (TEG) production capacity at the company’s existing ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol plant in Texas.
The additional capacity of 50M lb/yr would more than double current production capacity. Engineering is already underway on the new unit, which is anticipated to be operational in late 2016.
It is expected to be one of the world’s largest on-purpose TEG production units, meaning the TEG is produced by design and not as a by-product of another manufacturing process. The company’s Bayport Underwood plant in Pasadena produces ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol and glycol ethers, which are used to manufacture brake fluid, dyes, paint, solvents, commercial cleaners and waxes, detergents and cosmetic bases.
