MOSCOW (MRC) -- ExxonMobil Chemical has undertaken a planned shutdown at its one of the two polypropylene (PP) plants in Jurong Island, as per Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Singapore informed that the company has commenced maintenance at the plant in early-September 2018. The plant is expected to remain shut for around 2-4 weeks.
Located on Jurong Island in Singapore, the PP plant has a production capacity of 500,000 mt/year.
As MRC informed before, in October 2017, ExxonMobil Chemical Company commenced production on the first of two new 650,000 tons-per-year high-performance polyethylene (PE) lines at its plastics plant in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The full project, part of the company’s multi-billion dollar expansion project in the Baytown area and ExxonMobil’s broader Growing the Gulf expansion initiative, will increase the plant’s polyethylene capacity by approximately 1.3 million tons per year.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in the energy industry and produces about 3% of the world's oil and about 2% of the world's energy.
