a pioneer in the commercial production of fuels and chemicals
made from clean and abundant natural gas,
today held a grand opening event announcing
the successful start-up of its demonstration plant
located in La Porte, Texas.
The plant is wholly owned by Siluria, and
co-located at a plant operated by Braskem America, Inc.
This milestone marks
the world’s first large-scale production of ethylene
directly from natural gas through
Oxidative Coupling of Methane (“OCM”).
The demonstration plant
is the final scale-up of the OCM process technology and
paves the way for Siluria
to deploy commercial-scale plants
in the 2017/2018 timeframe.
