Monaca, Pa. - Shell Chemical imakhulupirira kuti yapeza tsogolo la msika wa polyethylene resin m'mphepete mwa Mtsinje wa Ohio kunja kwa Pittsburgh.
Kumeneko ndi kumene Shell ikumanga makina akuluakulu a petrochemicals omwe adzagwiritse ntchito ethane kuchokera ku gasi wa shale wopangidwa m'mabeseni a Marcellus ndi Utica kuti apange pafupifupi mapaundi 3.5 biliyoni a PE resin pachaka.Zovutazi ziphatikiza magawo anayi opangira, chophatikizira cha ethane ndi mayunitsi atatu a PE.
Ntchitoyi, yomwe ili pamtunda wa maekala 386 ku Monaca, idzakhala pulojekiti yoyamba ya petrochemicals ku US yomangidwa kunja kwa Gulf Coast ya Texas ndi Louisiana m'zaka makumi angapo.Kupanga kukuyembekezeka kuyamba koyambirira kwa 2020s.
"Ndagwira ntchito m'makampani kwa zaka zambiri ndipo sindinawonepo chilichonse," mtsogoleri wophatikizana ndi bizinesi Michael Marr adauza Plastics News paulendo waposachedwa ku Monaca.
Ogwira ntchito oposa 6,000 anali pamalopo kumayambiriro kwa mwezi wa October.Ambiri mwa ogwira ntchitowo akuchokera kudera la Pittsburgh, Marr adati, koma ena mwa iwo omwe ali ndi luso lochita ntchito zamagetsi monga magetsi, ma welders ndi pipefitters abweretsedwa kuchokera ku Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Buffalo, NY, ndi kupitirira.

Zida zina zazikulu zofunika pafakitale, kuphatikiza nsanja yozizirira ya 285-foot, zabweretsedwa mumtsinje wa Ohio."Simungathe kubweretsa zina mwa njanji kapena galimoto," adatero Marr.

Pamsonkhano wa GPS 2019 mu June, akuluakulu a Shale Crescent USA Trade group adanena kuti 85 peresenti ya kukula kwa gasi wachilengedwe ku US kuyambira 2008-18 kunachitika ku Ohio Valley.
Derali "limatulutsa gasi wachilengedwe wambiri kuposa Texas wokhala ndi theka la nthaka," adatero woyang'anira bizinesi Nathan Lord.Derali "lidakhazikitsidwa pamwamba pa chakudya komanso pakati pa makasitomala," adawonjezeranso, "ndipo anthu ambiri aku US ali mkati mwa tsiku limodzi."
Ambuye adatchulanso kafukufuku wa 2018 kuchokera ku IHS Markit yemwe adawonetsa kuti Ohio Valley ili ndi phindu la 23 peresenti pa PE vs. US Gulf Coast pazinthu zopangidwa ndi kutumizidwa kudera lomwelo.

Malowa adzakhalanso ndi malo awoawo opangira magetsi omwe amatha kupanga ma megawati 250 amagetsi.Ma bin otsuka opangira utomoni adayikidwa mu Epulo.Marr adati chotsatira chachikulu chomwe chidzachitike pamalowa ndikumanga malo ake amagetsi ndikulumikiza magawo osiyanasiyana a malowo ndi mapaipi olumikizana.
Ngakhale ikamaliza ntchito yomwe iwonjezere kupezeka kwa PE m'derali, a Marr adati Shell ikudziwa za kuipitsidwa kwa pulasitiki, makamaka zomwe zimakhudzana ndi zinthu zapulasitiki zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kamodzi.Kampaniyo inali membala woyambitsa wa Alliance to End Plastic Waste, gulu lazamalonda lomwe likugulitsa $ 1.5 biliyoni kuti lichepetse zinyalala zapulasitiki padziko lonse lapansi.Kumeneko, Shell ikugwira ntchito ndi Beaver County kupititsa patsogolo mapulogalamu obwezeretsanso m'derali.
