LyondellBasell Industries subsidiary sells its Sarnia, Ontario, site to Shell
LyondellBasell has carried out decommissioning activities at the 175 KT slurry polypropylene plant, which is also located on the site. Last year, the company announced that it would cease production at the plant because its operating costs were no longer competitive.
LyondellBasell currently operates three polypropylene lines in Pasadena, Texas, and two polypropylene lines in Lake Charles, La. All of these units use Spheripol process technology. LyondellBasell's joint venture Indelpro, located in Mexico, operates a Spheripol process line and is currently commissioning its new 350 KT Spherizone polypropylene plant at Altamira.
