January 3, 2018

 

Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. LP (CPCC), a joint venture of Chevron Corp. and Phillips 66, has completed construction of a 1.5 million-ton/year ethane cracker at its Cedar Bayou facility in Baytown, Texas.  Once fully operational, the unit will produce ethylene to support CPCC’s ethylene business and as feedstock for the operator’s recently completed two 500,000-tpy polyethylene (PE) units at Old Ocean, Texas.  Read more here.

Operating such complex intertwined infrastructures can be a big challenge. Integrating real-time information from legacy data historians with new data systems to interpret process conditions, set operating targets, manage alarms, and communicate critical information across multiple work groups is necessary for efficiency, safety and profitability. UTL process monitoring and shift reporting solutions from AIS Software make this process seamless giving operators more time to do the things they need to do to run a plant.
