division of US chemical producer Huntsman plans to add 250 million lb/year

in Port Neches, Texas. Huntsman already has 1 billion lb/year of annual capacity

The performance products division of US chemical producer Huntsman
plans to add 250 million lb/year (about 113,000 tpy) of ethylene oxide (EO)
capacity at its manufacturing plant in Port Neches, Texas, the company announced
late Thursday.
The new capacity will be added to Huntsman’s existing 1 billion lb/year of

Port Neches will leverage Huntsman’s integrated EO derivatives production
currently in place at the site to produce surfactants, ethanolamines, specialty
chemicals and ethylene glycol (EG). |
