MOSCOW (MRC) -- China’s Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Group has shut its propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit on January 25 following a power outage at its complex, a company source told TPS.
The plant was previously shut on January 10 for a short turnaround and restarted on January 22.
Located in Tianjin, the PDH plant has a capacity of 600,000 mt/year of propylene.
As MRC informed before, in early 2014, Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Group took off-stream its PDH unit in Tianjin owing to technical issues. Thus, the unit was shut on January 12, 2014.
Tianjin Bohai is a state owned enterprise, with over 100 subsidiaries and 35,000 employees. It has joint venture relationships with a number of foreign partners, including: LG Chem, Solvay, Akzo Nobel, Clariant, Veolia, Air Liquide and Vopak.
