MOSCOW (MRC) -- Spolana has planned to undertake a planned shutdown at its polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant, said Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Europe informed that the company is likely to shut for maintenance turnaround at the plant in end-August, 2019. The plant is expected to remain off-line for about one month.
Located in Neratovice, Czech Republic, the plant has a production capacity of 135,000 mt/year.
As MRC informed earlier, in 2017, Spolana from Neratovice has been granted an approval to change the integrated permit and extend the utilization of amalgam electrolysis for the production of chlorine and caustic soda.
Spolana a.s. is one of the largest chemical manufacturing companies in the Czech Republic and the only manufacturer of PVC and caprolactam also producing sodium hydroxide and ammonium sulphate. It currently employs over 700 people.
