INEOS Nitriles expects to run its 280,000 tonne/year acrylonitrile (ACN) plant at Seal Sands in the UK at normal volumes by 20 June following planned maintenance, a company source said on Friday.

The plant is being brought back to normal production ahead of schedule, the source confirmed.

“[We] decided to start up earlier because demand is quite strong,” the company source said.

The plant was taken off line on 23 May.

Worldwide ACN supply has been tight because of maintenance outages across the globe.
