Speaking about ethylene production facilities:

"X's 1.45 billion lbs/yr Chocolate Bayou plant will be down for a scheduled 35-day turnaround. Dow's 1.1 billion lbs/yr Plaquemine, LA 2 CRACKER and Dupont's 1.3 billion lbs/yr Orange, TX plant both will come down for scheduled maintenance in the second quarter."

Is this a synonym for "plant" or "facility"?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for the suggestion María. I later found some documents where it had been left as "cracker". I think it was safer to translate as la "planta cracker nº 2". Jack, thanks for your input. It was also very helpful!"

Yes, I think you can safely assume that it is.
