SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Indonesia’s Chandra Asri restarted its 600,000 tonne/year naphtha cracker at Cilegon in West Java on 25 November following a week-long unplanned shutdown, a company source said on Tuesday.

The cracker resumed operations briefly on 16 November following scheduled maintenance since 5 October, but had to be taken off line one to two days later because of technical issues.

The cracker is now running at around 80% of capacity after the restart, the source added.

Chandra Asri is the sole cracker operator in Indonesia.
