On January 2, 2013, ExxonMobil Chemical Company stated that its world's largest ethylene steam cracker in Singapore began operations, which is part of the company’s multi-billion-dollar expansion project at Singapore Petrochemical Complex. The expansion has increased production capacity by 2.6 million tons/year, which has doubled the capacity of ExxonMobil Chemical Singapore.
The project includes 2 sets of new polyethylene units, 1 set of polypropylene units, 1 set of metallocene elastomer units, 1 set of oxo alcohol units and 1 set of aromatic hydrocarbon expanders. All of these projects have been completed and put into operation. This is ExxonMobil's first production of its proprietary specialty elastomers and metallocene-based polyethylenes in the Asia Pacific region. The expansion also made the Singapore plant the largest refinery and petrochemical complex of ExxonMobil.
Steve Pryor, president of ExxonMobil Chemical, said that this is ExxonMobil's largest chemical expansion project in its history. The base has become one of the most technologically advanced and competitive production bases in Singapore and Asia Pacific.
The expansion will increase the number of employees in the chemical plant by 50%, bringing the total number of employees of ExxonMobil's refinery and chemical complex in Singapore to 1,800.
