Styrene producer Styrolution said on Tuesday its Bayport styrene plant in Bayport, Texas will be in the process of starting up its process units.

Styrolution added in a community CARE line information message that over the next few days there could be some intermittent use of the plant’s safety flare as the plant is being recommissioned. The flare is designed to effectively burn emissions so that offsite impact is not expected.

The announcement is also in line with the company’s expectations for its Bayport styrene plant to come back online in the first half of November.

The company took down the Bayport unit for planned maintenance at the end of September.

The Styrolution Bayport plant has a styrene capacity of 770,000 tonnes/year, according to ICIS plants and projects database.
