VIENNA (ICIS news)--A privately-owned cracker at Al-Jubail in Saudi Arabia has changed the name of the company driving the project to Chemical Investment Group (CIG) from SIIG as well as set start-up date and cracker capacity and downstream slate, a source close to the project said.

The 1.2m tonne/year cracker and downstream polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and speciality chemicals is due onstream in Q1 2010, he said on the sidelines of the European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) annual conference.

 

A pre-feasibility study is underway and feedstock approval has been obtained from Saudi Aramco, he said. A full feasibility study is due to start next June.
