China's Shanghai Petrochemical plans to shut its naphtha-fed steam cracker in Shanghai around June 20 for annual maintenance, a company source said Monday.
The cracker, which is able to produce 400,000 mt/year of ethylene, will be shut for around one month, the source said.
The company has two naphtha-fed steam crackers there. The company has no plans to shut another steam cracker for turnaround. The unit is able to produce 300,000 mt/year of ethylene.
