(ICIS)–Saudi Arabia’s SABIC plans to shut its 700,000
tonne/year methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) plant at at
Al-Jubail in Saudi Arabia from February to March, several
market players said on Wednesday.
The plant is expected to be shut for around one month, they
said.
This turnaround is unexpected to have an impact on spot
supply as the company is largely covered on a contractual
basis, they added.
The company has three MTBE plants at Al Jubail, with the
other two having capacities of 300,000 tonnes/year and 1m
tonnes/year. It is unclear if the will be shut
for turnarounds in tandem with the 700,000 tonnes/year
plant.
