China’s Shandong Wanda Chemical plans to start up its on-purpose 150,000 tonne/year butadiene (BD) plant at Dongying in Shandong province on 2 August, market sources said on Friday.
The plant uses butene as a feedstock to produce BD through dehydrogenation.
Chinese domestic BD spot prices were at yuan (CNY) 11,700-11,800/tonne ($1,896-1,912/tonne) DEL (delivered) in north China, down by CNY500/tonne from 24 July, according to Chemease, an ICIS service in China.
