German chemicals producer BASF is restarting one of its
naphtha-fed steam crackers at its complex in Ludwigshafen, Germany,
following the completion of repair work, a company spokesperson
told OPIS Wednesday.
Flaring is expected to last until Jan. 13, the spokesperson
said.
BASF declined to provide any information on the duration of the
turnaround or products affected. The outage is said to be for one
week, one market source said.
The company operates two naphtha-fed steam crackers at the
Ludwigshafen site, one with an ethylene capacity of 420,000 metric
tons/year and another with a capacity of 240,000 mt/year, according
to data from Chemical Market Analytics by OPIS, a Dow Jones
company.
BASF also warned of flaring on its premises on the nearby
Friesenheim Island until the end of the week due to technical
reasons.
