Shell to debottleneck Singapore plant
Shell Chemicals is debottlenecking its Singapore ethylene cracker on Pulau Bukom (Bukom Island) to help meet growing demands in the region. The capacity of olefins and aromatics is expected to increase by more than 20% with this move.
Shell said that the debottlenecking engineering work will take place during the next maintenance turn-around of the ethylene cracker. The ethylene cracker which opened in March 2010 is a major component of the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex (SEPC) project, which is Shell's largest-ever petrochemicals investment.
