US petrochemical producer ExxonMobil Chemical has completed the start up process of its 820,000 m tpa ethylene complex in Beaumont, Texas, as per Platts. The Beaumont complex has two equal-sized steam cracking units with total combined ethylene capacity of 820,000 mtpa.
"Operations are normal and we anticipate no impact to production," spokesman Todd Spitler said in confirming market reports of a successful restart. The unit shut January 21 after an area wide power outage. The startup process started within a week of the outage.
