In addition, CNOOC’s Huizhou Refining & Chemical Corporation’s 490,000 tons/year new HDPE/LLDPE swing line in Guangdong is expected to start commercial productions in June 2017.
A total of 2.51 million tons/year of new PE capacities had been initially planned for 2017. However, it was later down to 1.86 million tons/year due to some delays in start-up schedules.
