SABIC Europe’s butadiene (BD) producing unit at Geleen in the Netherlands is preparing to go offline for planned maintenance, a company source said on Tuesday.
“It’s coming down according to schedule,” the source said, adding that the unit would be down for two to three weeks.
The Geleen unit has the capacity to produce 130,000 tonnes/year of BD, according to ICIS data.
Maintenance is currently under way at SABIC’s 100,000 tonnes/year BD unit at Wilton in the UK alongside the scheduled turnaround at the nearby 865,000 tonne/year cracker.
Restart of the UK units is expected around 22 June.
