Enterprise Products Partners has delayed its startup timeframe by three weeks to begin December 24 and run through January 23 on its newbuild 750,000 mt/year propane dehydrogenation plant in Mont Belvieu, Texas, the company said in a weekend regulatory filing with the state.
The referenced startup timeframe in the filing is a "best estimate," the company said in a filing with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Enterprise in late November said it planned to begin startup operations for the new PDH unit between November 30 and December 30, and in early November the company said it expected to startup by December 11, the company said in separate filings with TCEQ.
The PDH unit -- which has seen many delays -- was initially expected to be operational by the end of 2016, but due to production issues and Hurricane Harvey, the PDH has seen frequent delays in startup.
