SINGAPORE (ICIS News)--South Korea-based GS Caltex has delayed a five-day turnaround at its polypropylene (PP) plant in Yeosu from April to June due to production schedules, a source from the company said on Wednesday.

 

The 180,000 tonne/year plant was initially scheduled to be shut down for maintenance for seven to 10 days in April, to coincide with the turnaround of its residual fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) unit. However, it will now be shut for maintenance from 9-13 June.

 

GS Caltex is one of the major refinery operators in South Korea besides SK Energy and S-Oil.
