South Korea’s Tongsuh Petrochemical plans to shut down its 245,000 tonne/year No 3 acrylonitrile (ACN) line in Ulsan for scheduled turnaround in May, a company source said on Friday.
“The plant will be shut around 10 May for around three weeks,” the source said.
The company’s 70,000 tonne/year No 2 ACN line - which was supposed to shut down in May - was already off line, the source added, but declined to give any reason.
Meanwhile, the company's 245,000 tonne/year No 4 line, at the same site is running normally.
Its 50,000 tonne/year No 1 ACN plant was mothballed in 2002.
