The LyondellBasell La Porte site implemented a project in 2014 to increase olefin plant capacity. The project team took this opportunity to improve the energy intensity significantly by incorporating innovative technology, high efficiency equipment, and design concepts that were not obvious or commonly practiced but are applicable to significant segments of the chemical industry. The energy intensity improved by at least 6 % from a 2013 full year average of 8,040 Btu/lb LHV to the September-December 2014 average of 7,549 Btu/lb LHV. The energy intensity is still trending down and has gone below 7,000 Btu/lb LHV in recent months.
