Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--TexStar Midstream (San Antonio, Texas) is planning to construct an olefins recovery facility adjacent to the Citgo 440,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) crude oil refinery in Westlake, Louisiana. The planned facility will process off gases from the Citgo refinery's fluid catalytic cracker unit (FCCU) and delayed coker units.

The company has selected Linde Process Plants LLC (Tulsa, Oklahoma) to perform engineering services for the plant, which will utilize Linde Cryo-Plus Technology. The company also has chosen Levingston Engineers Incorporated (Lake Charles, Louisiana) to perform engineering for the offsite utilities portion.

TexStar expects to receive final approval to proceed by mid-2010. The company will select an engineering and construction company to perform engineering, procurement, and construction services for the plant, which is expected to commence construction in early 2011. TexStar Midstream is a natural gas midstream company that provides a full range of services, including gathering, treating, processing, and compression.
