Abstract
The largest of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company's 34 chemical manufacturing facilities, the Cedar
Bayou Plant located in Baytown, TX, undertook the task of creating a facility-wide energy management
and improvement program in 2004. The Cedar Bayou Plant is a highly integrated petrochemical complex
on over 1000 acres, which operates seven process units, one olefins unit, two alpha olefins units, one poly
alpha olefins unit, and three polyethylene units as well as a central utilities unit and support facilities. The
Cedar Bayou Plant was a showcase facility in the 2003 Texas Technology Showcase for industrial energy
efficiency as well as an OSHA VPP STAR site and a member of the U.S. EPA National Environmental
Achievement Track Program.
