MOSCOW (MRC) -- VYNOVA is in plans to undertake a planned shutdown at its polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant in Wilhelmshaven, as per Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Europe informed that the company has scheduled to start turnaround at the plant in May 2019 for a period of around two weeks. The exact date for the shutdown could not be ascertained.
Located at Wilhelmshaven, Germany, the PVC plant has a production capacity of 380,000 dmt/year.
As MRC reported earlier, on 17 September 2018, the company declared force-majeure on supply of caustic soda from the petrochemical complex in Tessenderlo, Belgium, because of a production glitch at another plant, located at the same site, which can produce 740,000 tonnes of vynil chloride monomer (VCM) per year. The annual capacity of the caustic soda plant is 302,000 tonnes.
