China’s Shanghai Petrochemical has restarted its 130,000 tonne/year acrylonitrile (ACN) line in early this month after an unexpected turnaround, a company source said on Thursday.
“The plant was restarted on 1 February, and it is running very well now,” the source said without disclosing the plant’s current run rate.
The plant in Shanghai was shut down on 20 january due to a mechanical problem.
Shanghai Petrochemical's downstream 139,000 tonne/year acrylic fibre (AF) plant at the site is running at 70% of capacity, the source said.
