The Houston Technology Center is a research and development hub focused on advancing process technologies and chemical catalysts that support the global intermediates and derivatives businesses at LYB. 

Located next to the Channelview Complex in east Houston, the site uses miniature pilot units to simulate large-scale manufacturing. These capabilities help improve catalyst performance, increase yields, reduce capital costs and drive efficiency.

Providing economic value
