SUGAR LAND--February 4, 2021--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Chemical producer and petroleum refiner LyondellBasell Industries NV (NYSE:LYB) (Houston, Texas) has earmarked the majority of this year's growth project capital expenditures for its propylene oxide and tertiary butyl alcohol (PO/TBA) unit addition in Channelview, Texas. Work on the project ramped up during the fourth quarter of last year after slowing down earlier in the year, when the company reduced construction activity to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to save money. The unit is expected to be completed in late 2022, a year later than originally planned.
