Shell Upgrades Singapore Ethylene Production

Shell Chemicals has boosted ethylene production at its site on Bukom Island, Singapore, by more than 20%. The extra supply supports the expansion of intermediates plants on nearby Jurong Island, including Shell's monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant.

"This project reinforces the refining-chemicals integration - including feedstock, product and logistics - that we put in place when we completed the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex project," said Graham van't Hoff, executive vice president of Shell Chemicals.

"It maximizes the full potential of Shell's petrochemicals footprint in Singapore and underlines our strategy to remain a leading player in the Asian petrochemicals market," he added.

The project at the ethylene cracker complex has also reduced energy consumption by about 7% and CO2 emissions by 11%.
