MOSCOW (MRC) -- Enterprise Product
Partners' propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit in Mont Belvieu, Texas, will be
offline for a turnaround in February, reported S&P Global with reference to US olefin
market participants' statement Jan. 13.
Sources said the PDH unit
will go offline for scheduled maintenance on Feb. 1 for approximately six weeks.
This PDH unit has the capacity of 750,000 mt/y of propylene.
Enterprise
was not immediately available to comment on operations Jan. 13.
The
turnaround could further tighten supply of polymer-grade propylene in the
market.
As MRC informed
previously, in July 2020, Enterprise Products shut its PDH unit in
Mont Belvieu for maintenance.
Propylene is the main feedstock for the
production of polypropylene (PP).
According to MRC's DataScope report,
PP imports into Russia increased by 21% year on year to about 202,000 tonnes in
the first eleven months of 2020. Propylene homopolymer (homopolymer PP)
accounted for the main increase in imports.
