(ICIS) -- CEPSA Quimica has resumed phenol/acetone production on line No 2 in Huelva, Spain, following a five-week planned outage, a company source said on Friday. ⌠Production started early week 14 as planned. We have been building up slowly but we are now running fully, the source confirmed. Line No 2 has the capacity to produce 200 KTa of phenol and 124 KTa of acetone.
CEPSA added that it will be shutting down line No 3 for at least two weeks in May for planned maintenance.
Line No 3 is CEPSA Quimica's largest and newest line. It has the capacity to produce 250 KTa of phenol and 155 KTa of acetone.
The company officially decommissioned line No 1 at Huelva earlier this year. It had been idled since the end of 2008 as a result of the global economic downturn.
