(Reuters) -- Thailand's largest olefins
maker-PTT Chemical Pcl, expects to operate its new 1 mln ton ethylene unit at
100% in 2010, from the current 50%. This is subject to the start up of the
company’s sixth gas separation plant of PTT, which is the main feedstock supply
to the cracker, in Q4-2010. Chances of a fourth quarter start up seem bright
after a ruling allowed lifted suspension of the gas separation plant, after work
on it was suspended a year ago by a court ruling in an environmental dispute at
Map Ta Phut.
