August, 14 (plasteurope.com) -- The performance of the new LDPE line at Al Jubail / Saudi Arabia started up in May 2009 by Saudi Ethylene and Polyethylene Co (SEPC), a joint venture of LyondellBasell and Tasnee and Sahara Petrochemicals, is “better than expected,” says LyondellBasell, which is supplying its “Lupotech T” process.
The group says the initial capacity of 400,000 t/y “was exceeded in the first weeks of operation, when it achieved production rates of 57 t/h,” equivalent to 450,000 t/y.
