HOUSTON, US: Westlake Chemical Partners LP said that it has approved plans to expand ethylene capacity at the Calvert City, Kentucky facility owned by its affiliate, Westlake Chemical OpCo LP (OpCo). This expansion will add 70 million pounds of stated annual ethylene capacity to the Calvert City facility during the first half of 2017.
“This expansion, which combined with incremental capacity increases will total 100 million pounds of annual capacity, is in addition to the 250 million pound ethylene expansion at the Petro 1 facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2016. The additional production of ethylene at both facilities will be sold under the terms of the long-term, fixed-margin ethylene sales agreement in which 95 percent of OpCo’s production is sold to our sponsor, Westlake Chemical Corp, at a price designed to generate a margin of ten cents per pound. We believe the incremental earnings from these expansions will allow us to continue to grow our distributions at a low double-digit rate,” said Albert Chao, president and CEO.
