(Reuters) -- Formosa Petrochemical Corp
may reschedule planned maintenance at the largest of its three naphtha crackers
to second-half August from early September if some its downstream units are shut
for an extended time following a fire at a pipeline on May 12, its spokesman
said on Thursday. "The situation is still unclear because it really depends on
the status of the downstream units," he said. "If the ethylene feedstock cannot
be soaked up, we will forward the maintenance of the No. 3 cracker by two
weeks."
Formosa, Asia's top naphtha buyer, operates three crackers, of which its
No. 3 unit has a nameplate capacity of 1.2 million tpy.
