The pyrolysis unit (ethylene production) is a key component of the plant.

These units produce ethylene, which is then used to synthesize polyethylene and other polymers.

The plant has suspended production.

When bananas ripen, their stems release ethylene gas, and when it spreads to the rest of the fruit, it will quickly cause the fruit to rot. That's why the plastic wrap around the stem keeps the ethylene gas contained so the bananas stay safe.

Breaking News: The EPA moved to weaken limits on emissions of ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing gas.
E.P.A. Moves to Weaken Limits on Ethylene Oxide
The gas, ethylene oxide, plays a crucial role in sterilizing medical devices. But long-term exposure is linked to several types of cancer and other ailments.

We posted about this a few days ago. The EPA is trying to roll back protections against ethylene oxide, a chemical that causes leukemia and breast cancer, in communities that are already overburdened with pollution.

The public comment period is open right now.

Jim Ratcliffe’s company Ineos gets £120m govt subsidy to help save the UK’s last ethylene plant at Grangemouth.

Ratcliffe is worth $14.7bn (£11bn). Can he not invest? Will he be back for more?

Govt is not taking any equity stake. £120m is not repayable.
