(plastemart) -- A planned
maintenance outage of Sasol’s ethylene unit to commence on September 24 will last
through the middle of November. The outage is to allow for a large-scale
turnaround, that will result in increased traffic in Westlake as well as some
flaring during the beginning and end of the turnaround. Flaring is necessary to
provide a safe means for clearing the unit. Following the turnaround, flaring
will be necessary to bring the unit back to production capability. To minimize
impact to the community, Sasol has scheduled the heaviest flaring during the
daytime hours and will utilize a ground-flare, which significantly reduces noise
and light impact.
