Battleground Manufacturing

La Porte, Texas

Located on the Houston ship channel east of Houston, Texas, the 121 hectare (300 acre) INEOS Battleground Manufacturing Complex (BMC) was originally built in 1956. The site is comprised of seven polyethylene lines; one polypropylene line; a 20 MW Cogen facility; and a state-of-the-art polyolefin technical center that supports research and development, technical services and quality assurance. In 2017 a new world-scale, joint venture (with Sasol) bimodal polyethylene unit was brought online to manufacture high density polyethylene.

The site enjoys direct access to main rail and trucking, and has close access to ocean shipping terminals for product delivery. Our products are used in the manufacture of a variety of important consumer products including: automotive parts, food and beverage containers, caps and closures, textiles and carpeting, pipe and fittings, geosynthetic materials, roofing materials, packaging and materials handling, toys, and hygienic and pharmaceuticals products and packaging. The site has received numerous awards in the areas of safety and environmental performance at both the state and local levels.

Hobbs Fractionation

Gaines County, Texas

The Hobbs Fractionation Complex is located on a multi-acre site in Gaines County, Texas, between the communities of Seminole, Texas and Hobbs, New Mexico. The Hobbs fractionation complex produces three main products - E/P, propane and bottoms liquids. Via pipeline, Hobbs has the capability to annually ship 2.3 billion pounds of E/P to the INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA Chocolate Bayou Works facility in Alvin, Texas to be used as feedstock, 385 million pounds of propane and 770 million pounds of butanes and liquids.

Products and People

The Hobbs fractionation complex takes Y-Grade natural gas liquids through a deethanizer. The deethanizer processes the liquids into a product called E/P, the composition of which is approximately 80% ethane and 20% propane.

The heavier liquids left over from the deethanizer are fed into the depropanizer. This process fractionates these heavier liquids into 93 to 97 percent pure propane. We sell the propane along with the even heavier leftover liquids (butane +).
