It hasn’t yet gotten the final investment decision that supercharged Shell’s Beaver County petrochemical plant, but work and investment is still going on at the proposed site of PTT Global Chemical America’s polyethylene plant in Belmont County, Ohio.

PTT, a Thailand-based petrochemical company, has been considering for the last several years a site to build a plastics plant similar to the one that Shell Chemical is building further up the Ohio River in Potter Township, Beaver County. PTT’s site is the location of a former AEP coal-burning power plant in Mead Township, Ohio, across the river from Moundsville, West Virginia.

A final investment decision could come sometime this year, a spokesman for PTT, Dan Williamson, told the Business Times on Thursday. The project was first announced by then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich in April 2015.

The plant would take Marcellus and Utica shale gas and create ethylene, the building blocks of plastic products. PTT and Daelim Chemical, the South Korean firm that is its partner on the project, have spent about $100 million on engineering design and have received air and waterways discharge permits from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. PTT recently received $20 million from JobsOhio in a grant for revitalization work at the site, at which the former coal plant has long since been demolished and taken away.

“The JobsOhio grant provides the project with the necessary resources to continue engineering work and site preparation that must be done in the coming months,” the PTT spokesman said.

Bechtel Corp., the general contractor and project manager for Shell’s massive construction project in Beaver County, is the engineering, procurement and construction company for the PTT project as well.

Bev Reed here with the Sierra Club. Please join folks who have been organizing around the proposed PTTG ethane cracker plant at our next informational public meeting. See attached flier. This meeting will be different in that it will be located in St. Clairsville, OH and will follow the Richland Township Trustee meeting at 6pm and the injection well that has been debated recently in the Ohio River Valley that is proposed for the corner of Rt. 40 and Rt 331 in St. Clairsville will be discussed. See rundown of presenters below: 6-7pm: Richland Township Trustee Meeting - the injection well proposed for the intersection of Route 40 and Route 331 in St. Clairsville will be discussed 7-7:30: Dr. Julie Weatherington-Rice will present on "Class II Injection Wells, a Flawed Waste Management Tool For A 19th Century Industry in the Middle of the 21st Century Climate Crisis". Dr. Weatherington-Rice's educational background is in Science Education, Geology, and she holds a doctorate in Soil Science. She is an adjunct Assistant Professor in the Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering department at Ohio State University. 7:30-8:30: Discussion about the proposed PTTG ethane cracker plant in Belmont County, OH and the Appalachian Petrochemical Storage Hub and what the community can do to protect their air, water, and future of the Ohio River Valley.
