Currently, steam
cracking and
refinery operations
account for
approximately 94%
of the propylene

developed
by
LyondellBasell for increasing propylene production from olefinic
by-product streams from steam

production from traditional refinery
sources such as gas oils and resides;
and the Advanced Catalytic Olefins
