The plant will also house a 600,000 t/yr hydrogenation unit, 550,000 t/yr aromatics extraction unit and a 320,000 t/yr propylene unit.
Its downstream includes a 400,000 t/yr PP plant that uses LyondellBasell's Spheripol tec, and another 200,000 t/yr PP plant that uses LyondellBasell's Spherizone tec.
