The ethoxylates (ETO) unit at petrochemicals company Sasol’s Lake Charles chemical project, in the US, has achieved beneficial operation.
The ETO unit is the fourth of seven units at Lake Charles to come on line.
The ETO has a nameplate capacity of 100 000 t/y and completes the ethylene oxide value chain, which forms part of the performance chemicals product range.
The achievement of the ETO unit’s beneficial operation is within the guided timeline of the third quarter of the financial year, Sasol said on Thursday.
