(plastemart) -- After gauging damage
caused by a fire at its 700,000 tpa naphtha cracker, Formosa
Petrochemical Corp will determine the duration of the shutdown by
next week. A very small fire inside the pipe is making it unfeasible for the
company to fully assess the damages or the duration of the shutdown. The site is
estimated to shut for 2-3 months as the base of the distillation tower, wires,
cables and a pyrolysis gasoline unit were damaged.
