SINGAPORE (Reuters) -- Taiwan's Formosa Petrochemical Corp will restart its 700,000 tonne-per-year No. 1 naphtha cracker within two to three months, the company's spokesman said on Thursday.
But the company is still uncertain when it will shut down its No. 2 cracker for maintenance. This unit was initially scheduled for maintenance on Aug. 20, but the outage at the the No. 1 cracker has disrupted the plan for now (see mrcplast.com from July 14 2010).
