After more than three years of construction, on 22 March 2010 Shell Chemicals (London / UK; www.shell.com) began producing ethylene at its cracker in the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex (SEPC), located in Singapore. Late last year, the group has started up its 750,000 t/y MEG unit at the site – see Plasteurope.com of 01.12.2009.

The new cracker has a nameplate capacity of 800,000 t/y of C2, 450,000 t/y of C3 and 230,000 t/y of benzene, Shell said. Most of the C2 is destined to go into producing MEG at the site.
