Lyondell plans restart of PO/SM unit as demand recovers

August 17/2009

August, 17 (plastemart.com) -- Lyondell Chemical CompanyвЂ™s propylene oxide/styrene monomer (PO/SM) unit at Channelview, Texas, had been shut down since December 2008 on deteriorating markets amid a global economic meltdown.

Lyondell plans to restart the Channelview PO/SM unit next month as demand for propylene oxide and its derivatives improves. Lyondell has three world-scale PO facilities in North America and three in Europe.
