据ICIS网站11月20日休斯顿报道 美国公司Next Wave能源合作伙伴公司周三表示，公司已做出了最终投资决定，将在德克萨斯州帕萨迪纳建造一座乙烯烷基化工厂，该工厂位于休斯顿航道外。

Next Wave没有透露该项目的成本。

Next Wave表示，这家名为Project Traveler的工厂将有能力每天生产28000桶烷基化物。

该公司表示，每年可消耗超过12亿磅（54.4万吨）乙烯。Next Wave将从多条管道接收原料。同时还可以将接收的原料通过铁路运输产品。

首次生产应在2022年年中开始。该公司已经获得了该工厂大部分产量的长期客户合同。

US firm to build ethylene-to-alkylate plant in Texas

Next Wave Energy Partners made a final investment decision (FID) to build an ethylene-to-alkylate plant in Pasadena, Texas, off of the Houston Ship Channel, the US-based company said align="justify">Next Wave did not reveal the cost of the project.

The plant, called Project Traveler, will have a capacity to produce 28,000 bbl/day of alkylate, Next Wave said.

It can consume more than 1.2bn lb/year (544,000 tonnes/year) of ethylene, the company said. Next Wave will receive the feedstock from multiple pipelines. It can also receive feedstock and deliver product by rail.

Initial production should start in mid-2022. The company already secured long-term customer contracts for the majority of the plant's output.

The company will deliver the alkylate through direct-connection pipelines to major gasoline blending terminals in Pasadena.

Equity financing is being provided by Energy Capital Partners and members of Next Wave's senior management.

The company has already started engineering for a possible second alkylation unit, said Michael Bloesch, CEO.
