China’s Sinopec Qilu plans to shut its 80,000 tonne/year acrylonitrile (ACN) plant at Zibo in Shandong province on around 20 May for a scheduled turnaround, a company source said on Friday.
The turnaround will last 18-20 days, according to the source.
Its downstream 54,000 tonne/year acrylic fibre (AF) plant at the same site is currently running at 50%, the source said.
ACN prices were assessed at yuan (CNY) 13,600-13,800/tonne ($2,183-2,215/tonne) ex-tank east China on 9 May, flat from the previous day, according to Chemease, an ICIS service in China.
