Commissioning on Williams Partners' Geismar plant nears completion; ethylene production for sale expected in January (1)
Williams Partners has announced that its expanded Geismar plant now expects ethylene production for sale to begin in January as commissioning efforts for the project near completion.
"This commissioning effort has been especially challenging after the uncharacteristically hard shutdown at the time of the incident and as a result of being out of commission for more than a year," said John Dearborn, Senior V.P. of NGL & Petchem Services. "Safety is our number one priority and guides all milestones related to this project as we work to rebuild our reputation as a safe and reliable supplier of olefins."
Capacity at the Geismar plant is now 1.95 billion lb/year of ethylene. Williams Partners' share of the total capacity of the expanded plant is approximately 1.7 billion lb/year. Williams owns controlling interest and is the general partner of Williams Partners.
