据道琼斯11月16日消息，南非沙索公司周一表示，公司位于美国路易斯安那州莱克查尔斯化工项目的低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）装置周日正式投产。这家总部位于南非的石化和能源公司表示，该装置是该项目7个投产装置中的最后一个。该公司表示，该装置在1月份试运行时在火灾中受损。沙索表示，莱克查尔斯项目现在已经全部完成，预计总资本支出将在之前的128亿美元指导范围内。沙索表示，对于沙索和利安德巴赛尔工业公司的合资企业进军美国聚合物生产市场的计划来说，LDPE装置的投产是一个重要的里程碑。

Sasol Brings Last Unit of Louisiana Project Into Operation
Sasol Ltd. said Monday that the low-density polyethylene unit at its Lake Charles chemicals project in Louisiana achieved beneficial operation Sunday.
The unit was the last of seven to be brought into operation, the South Africa-based petrochemical and energy company said. The unit was damaged in a fire during commissioning in January, it said.
The Lake Charles project is now fully complete, with total capital expenditure forecast within the previous guidance of $12.8 billion, Sasol said.
Production from the low-density polyethylene unit is an important milestone for a planned expansion into the U.S. polymers-production market by a joint venture between Sasol and Lyondellbasell Industries NV, Sasol said.
