DETAILS
today announced that
it has more than doubled the production of
high-purity ethylene oxide (HPEO) and ethoxylates
at its site on Jurong Island, Singapore.
The company has successfully started up
a new purification unit with
a capacity of 140,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of HPEO.
A new world-scale production unit today can manufacture
140,000 tpa of ethoxylates.
Shell delivers HPEO through an ethylene oxide pipeline grid
to ‘over-the-fence’ customers and
its own expanded ethoxylation operations on Jurong Island.
Feedstock for the new HPEO plant comes from
Shell’s ethylene oxide/mono-ethylene glycol plant,
which is integrated with the company’s ethylene cracker
through to its largest fully-owned refinery on Pulau Bukom.
