Shell unveils two new plants in Jurong Island

Petrochemicals production has more than doubled.

Shell has started up two new petrochemical production units in Jurong Island, which were under construction for two years.

One of the plants can produce 140,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of high-purity ethylene oxide, while the other can manufacture 140,000 tpa of ethoxylates.

More than six million man-hours went into both projects, which spans land about the size of seven football fields.

The HPEO and ethoxylates projects are the latest successes in a string of investments over the last few years, aimed at strengthening Shell’s largest oil-chemicals integrated site spanning Singapore’s Bukom and Jurong islands.
