The plant was situated adjacent to live pipe racks, railway spur lines, and plant roadways as well as a warehouse and auxiliary buildings that had to remain operational during the project.
Shell decommissioned the plant, which involved the removal and disposal of process chemicals through the isolation, purging and cleaning of all equipment, tankage, and piping. In addition, Shell undertook the physical disconnection and air-gapping of all decommissioned feed, product, and utility lines from adjacent pipe racks.
