The USA Alkylation capacity is about 960,000 bpd and overall workld capacity is in the range of 1.2 Million barrels . So what I said before around 1.5 Million was 0.3 Million more than actual World alkylation capacity. Just a correction.

Global Alkylation capacity is estimated to be around 1.5 mm b/d . At present the largest units' capacity are in the range of 20,000 b/d. Refiners are building single unit with a capacity of 55 to 60,000 b/d unit at present and these are expected to come on stream by the end of next year or so.

BP at Texas city is one of if not the largest, Venezuala is probably equal, not sure in barrels but it's huge.
