MOSCOW (MRC) -- China Man-Made Fiber Corporation (CMMFC) plans to resume production at its monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, after maintenance, a company source told TPS.
The unit, which has an annual capacity of 200,000 mt/year, was taken off-stream in early January 2016, and will likely restart towards the end of January, before the Chinese festive period.
Assuming the unit runs at full capacity and the shutdown lasts for 25 days, TPS estimates the stoppage would result in a production loss of 13,698 mt of MEG. This equates to about 13 standard MEG parcels.
As MRC informed previously, in the first decade of October 2015, CMMFC shut operations at its MEG plant in Taiwan for a maintenance turnaround. It was scheduled to remain shut for around 8 weeks. Located at Kaoshiung in Taiwan, the MEG plant has a production capacity of 200,000 mt/year.
