It encompasses the Port of Houston which is the #1 port in the US in foreign tonnage. The petrochemical industry along the Channel includes about a hundred major plants - some of them among the largest in the world. The five refineries utilize over one million barrels per day for feedstock. There are eight world class olefin manufacturing plants here. Olefins are made by high temperature cracking of petroleum gas (ethane) or heavier gas oils in the presence of steam. The resulting ethylene, propylene, butadiene and other olefins are used to make polymers (plastic or rubber). There are more than a dozen plants in this area that make plastics. There is a paper mill, a fertilizer plant and many specialty chemicals and catalyst manufacturers. Why have there plants located here? Here are some reasons: Low Transportation Costs - Deep Draft Vessels - Pipeline networks with tie-ins to Salt Dome Storage for gases. Low Energy Costs - Imported Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Cogeneration. Ample Supply of Feedstock's - Natural Gas, Brine, Other Plants supplying intermediates or buying by-products. Infrastructure - Suppliers Network - Immediate Delivery of almost any specialized equipment. Employees - Trained Employees who have access to good living areas by interstate highway systems. Land - Available in large tracts at still reasonable cost. Some of the outstanding operations here include: Shell - Deer Park - Both a Refinery and Chemical Operation 2,400 employees located on 1,500 acres Include largest Phenol plant in the world and largest Epoxy Resin plant in the world. Air Products - Pasadena - Largest DNT/TDA plants in the world. DuPont - LaPorte - Largest PVA facility in the world. Goodyear - Largest SBA complex Rohm & Haas - Deer Park - Largest Acrylate Ester Plant in the world. Arco - Channelview - Largest MTBE plant in the world. Amoco - Pasadena- Supplies half of the world's alpha olefins. Equistar- Channelview - One of the largest olefin complexes in the world. Today's plants bear no relationship to the plants of the post war days when development was done with little or no regard to environmental impacts. Early petrochemical companies looked at pollution in terms of lost product and facilities to reduce pollution were justified in terms of value of product recovered. Today's companies are pro-actively involved in their community affairs, protecting the environment, and protecting employees health and safety. This has been brought about by a new commitment and made possible partly through economy of scale. Today's companies also utilize the newest technology in many fields. Homesite Company 1998.
