Ketjen completes expansion of Bayport ZSM-5 facility

The ceremony was attended by a gathering of customers, local officials, and industry representatives all joining Ketjen executives.

This major expansion, the largest in Ketjen’s history, will double ZSM-5 production capacity, strengthening supply availability for customers and enabling them to adapt to shifting market demands. The facility positions Ketjen to meet growing needs for fluidised catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts and additives – critical components for maximising high-octane gasoline yields and producing essential petrochemical feedstocks like propylene.

“Opening our expanded Bayport plant is a pivotal moment for Ketjen and our global refining and petrochemicals customers,” said Ketjen President Michael J. Simmons. “We are proud to deliver reliable supply and solutions to customers. Our investment also gives refiners the flexibility to transition toward higher-value products, supporting both profitability and sustainability. This facility strengthens our FCC technology leadership and demonstrates our ongoing support for the refining industry as we address future customer and industry needs.”
