At that facility it also plans to build a $1 billion unit that processes ethylene into polymer-grade propylene, which is used to make plastics and fibers.Enterprise also plans to build a $5.25 billion ethylene production facility at its Beaumont Marine East property along the Neches River in Orange County.
