SINGAPORE (ICIS)–Malaysia’s Optimal Olefins restarted its 600,000 tonne/year gas cracker in Kerteh, Terengganu, on 13 December after a seven-day unplanned shutdown, a source close to the company said on Tuesday.
The current run-rates at the facility were not immediately known, the source said.
The cracker and other downstream units in the Kerteh complex were shut on 6 December because of a disruption in power supply.
Optimal Olefins is a joint venture between Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas firm PETRONAS and US petrochemicals major Dow Chemical.
