(Bloomberg) -- Ineos Group Holdings
Plc reported an upset at the ethylene unit at its Chocolate Bayou chemical plant in
Alvin, Texas, according to a filing with state regulators. “The olefins 1 unit
experienced an upset when the p-rich feed was lost to two of the furnaces
resulting in flaring off spec ethylene product,” Ineos said a filing with the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
“Operations stabilizing the unit to bring ethylene product back on spec
and decreased feed to the furnaces,” the Lyndhurst, United Kingdom-based company
said in the filing.
The Chocolate Bayou plant includes two olefins units and has one of the
largest hydrocarbon crackers in the U.S., according to the company website. The
plant is located in Alvin, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of Houston.
