BASF TOTAL Petrochemicals, LLC
In Port Arthur BASF Total Petrochemicals LLC (BTP) produces basic petrochemicals. We jointly operate one of the world’s largest flexible feed steam crackers as well as the world’s largest butadiene extraction facility.
The feed flex project, completed in the 2nd quarter of 2013, enables the steam cracker to operate more flexible. With the completion of this project, BASF made the use of raw materials more flexible in order to take better advantage of the lower gas prices in the United States. The 10th furnace project, currently in progress, will provide sustained rates of production at capacity and improve furnace reliability at the site.
