<\/p>\nGlobal technology and software leader Emerson will provide automation technologies, software and analytics from its Plantweb\u2122 digital ecosystem for the Golden Triangle Polymers Project, a world-scale integrated polymers facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. The total installed cost of the project is expected to be $8.5 billion and is a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP and an indirect subsidiary of QatarEnergy. Operations are expected to begin in 2026.<\/p>\n
Designed using the latest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction technology, the project aims to have approximately 25 percent lower GHG emissions than similar facilities in the United States and Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith its digital automation technologies, industrial software portfolio, and deep energy experience, we are relying on Emerson to help ensure a project of this magnitude operates safely and reliably, optimises energy use and mitigates emissions,\u201d said David Godard, project director for the Golden Triangle Polymers Project.<\/p>\n
The Golden Triangle Polymers Project, located in Orange, Texas, includes a 2,080 KTA ethane cracker as well as two 1,000 KTA high-density polyethylene units. Polyethylene is used to produce durable goods and essential packaging to protect food and keep medical supplies sterile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Golden Triangle Polymers Project and the recently announced Ras Laffan Petrochemical Complex in Qatar are among the world\u2019s largest ethane crackers, both leveraging Emerson\u2019s digital automation technologies, software and expertise to promote safer, smarter and more sustainable operations,\u201d said Ron Martin, Emerson\u2019s president, Americas. \u201cWe are proud to support Chevron Phillips Chemical\u2019s and QatarEnergy\u2019s track record of building world-class, optimised facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emerson will deliver integrated process control and safety systems that leverage advanced predictive technologies to reduce operational complexity and minimise project risk through its DeltaV\u2122 distributed control and safety instrumented systems, and Rosemount gas analyser and chromatograph solutions. The project also leverages Emerson\u2019s Mimic\u2122 and AspenTech HYSYS\u00ae simulation software for operator training, energy management, safety analysis and operational optimisation. Emerson\u2019s AgileOps operations management software and alarm management services will help staff monitor and maintain safety, alarms, and the control system to drive improved process and operational integrity.<\/p>\n
The Golden Triangle Polymers Project is located about 113 miles east of Houston in the \u2018Golden Triangle\u2019 region of Texas that encompasses the city of Orange.<\/p>\n
