South Korea’s Tongsuh Petrochemical has restarted its 245,000 tonne/year No 3 acrylonitrile (ACN) line in Ulsan in mid-week after a scheduled turnaround, a company source said on Friday.
The plant was shut on 13 May for a turnaround.
“The plant was restarted in mid this week, and the operating rate is around 85%,” the source said.
The company’s 70,000 tonne/year No 2 ACN line has been shut since end-March and the company has yet to fix a restart date, the source said.
The firm’s 245,000 tonne/year No 4 line at the same site is running at around 80% of capacity, the source added.
