因多拉玛公司是在2015年底从西方化学公司手中收购了这套闲置的裂解装置。该裂解装置可以使用乙烷和丙烷作为原料生产37万吨/年的乙烯和3万吨/年的丙烯，于2001年开始闲置。

因多拉玛公司已经对该裂解装置进行扩能，当前可以年产42万吨乙烯和2万吨的丙烯。

该裂解装置先前预计在2018年初恢复生产。

Indorama US Louisiana cracker to start up in Q4

An Indorama project to revamp and restart a previously idled cracker in Lake Charles, Louisiana is expected to start up in the fourth quarter, the company said on Monday.

The unit, which is currently in commissioning, should have a full year of production in 2019, the company said in a quarterly earnings release.

Indorama had acquired the non-operational cracker in late 2015 from Occidental Chemical (OxyChem). The cracker, which could process ethane and propane feedstocks to produce 370,000 tonnes/year of ethylene and 30,000 tonnes/year of propylene, had been idled in 2001.

Indorama expanded the cracker capacity to produce 420,000 tonnes/year of ethylene and 20,000 tonnes/year of propylene.

The cracker had previously been expected to start up in early 2018.
