SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--National Petrochemical Co of Iran’s 1m tonne/year methanol unit in Fanavaran, Bandar Imam, continues to be shut and there is no clear indication about the restart date, a company source said on Thursday.
The plant had shut on 28 December following gas supply shortage amid the ongoing winter season.
The other 1.65 m tonne/year Zagross methanol facility had also reduced operating rates to around 70%, the source said.
However, the outage has not had an impact on the company’s contract shipments, said the source.
