Williams Partners have announced that its expanded Geismar plant is in the final stages of commissioning and now expects ethylene production for sale to begin in December.
"Some of these commissioning activities have taken longer than originally planned, but as we have stated throughout this process, safety is our number one priority," said John Dearborn, senior vice president of NGL and petrochemical services.
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.
