(plastemart) -- Polypropylene producer Petroquim has restarted
operations in Chile after being out of service since February 2010, following an
earthquake. Production rates are very low at about 10,000 tons, at the 100,000
tpa plant as the testing phase is currently underway at the plant, until
everything is normalized. The PP plant stopped operations due to feedstock
constraints caused by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake damaged the refinery that
provides the feedstock.
