Styrindo Mono Indonesia (SMI) resumed production at its 250,000 tonne/year styrene monomer (SM) unit over the weekend after completing scheduled maintenance at the unit, a company source said on Tuesday.

The facility located in Merak was shut on 22 February and restarted on 15 March, the source said.

SMI also operates a 100,000 tonne/year No 1 SM unit at the same location. This unit was operating normally during the shutdown of the No 2 plant.

The company is the lone producer of SM in Indonesia.
