Flint Hills Resources (FHR) was in the process of restarting its Port Arthur cracker in Texas after a planned turnaround, market sources said on Wednesday.

The 621,000 tonne/year ethylene unit was taken off line in late September, according to a filing with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

An FHR spokesperson declined to comment on the restart.
