SASOL’S LAKE CHARLES CHEMICALS PROJECT (LCCP) ETHANE CRACKER
SUCCESSFULLY REPLACES ACETYLENE CATALYST AND INCREASES
ETHYLENE PRODUCTION RATES
Sasol is pleased to announce that the LCCP Ethane Cracker is increasing production
rates following the successful replacement of the acetylene reactor catalyst. The
Ethane Cracker achieved beneficial operation in August 2019 but has run approximately
50 - 60% of nameplate capacity due to underperformance of the plant’s acetylene
removal system. This issue has now been resolved.
The outage to replace the catalyst was successfully completed on schedule and within
budget. Following the outage, the unit was started up smoothly and ethylene production
rates are approximately 85 - 90% of nameplate capacity and are increasing. Ethylene
quality meets US Gulf Coast ethylene pipeline specifications.
Sasol also looks forward to the completion of the LCCP Low Density Polyethylene
(LDPE) Unit which is being commissioned with
beneficial operation expected
later in
December 2019. The remaining three downstream units under construction to complete
the integrated LCCP site, Ziegler Alcohols and Alumina, Alcohol Ethoxylates, and
Guerbet Alcohols, remain on cost and schedule as per our previous guidance.
