EQUATE's new ethane-fed steam cracker to go on stream by 2008 end

Industry sources believe that Kuwait's EQUATE Petrochemical Company is on verge on setting its second ethane-fed steam cracker at Shuaiba underway by the year end. Once operational, the new 850,000 tppa ethylene cracker, owned by The Kuwait Olefins Company (TKOC), will enable EQUATE to run both its ethylene glycol units-the older units having 400,000 tpa capacity and the new having 600,000 tpa production capacity.
