The maintenance is expected to start in mid-February 2017 and last for about 50-60 days, sources said.
The plant has a production capacity of 200,000 tons/year.
Taiwan’s CPC was previously reported to be planning maintenance on its naphtha-fed steam cracker at the same site around the same time, which is expected to last for 56 days.
