MOSCOW (MRC) -- Ineos ChlorVinyls, one of the major chlor-alkali producers in Europe, has restarted a chlor-alkali plant following an unexpected shutdown, reported Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Belgium informed that the plant restarted on October 22, 2014. It was shut in the second week of October 2014 owing to technical issues.
Located at Tessenderlo, Belgium, the plant has a caustic soda capacity of 452,000 mt/year and chlorine capacity of 400,000 mt/year.
As MRC wrote before, in September 2014, Ineos ChlorVinyls announced an increase in its list prices of caustic soda. Thus, Ineos' caustic soda prices increased by EUR65 per dry metric tonne with effect from 1 October 2014. Earlier, Ineos increased its prices of caustic soda from 1 July 2014 by EUR 60 per dry metric tonne.
Ineos ChlorVinyls is one of the major chlor-alkali producers in Europe, a global leader in chlorine derivatives and Europe's largest PVC manufacturer.
