The turnaround, originally planned for
mid-October, was brought forward due to an unexpected shutdown at Persian Gulf
Mobin Energy’s cooling water line, according to the company’s public relations
office. Repairs to that line are expected to take about two weeks and have
forced the temporary halt of Pars Petrochemical’s production units.
Maintenance work at the ethylbenzene and styrene
monomer plants, along with the emergency overhaul of the ethane recovery unit,
is scheduled to run from Sept. 12 to Oct. 6.
The ethane plant is expected to resume production
once Mobin Energy’s cooling water system is back online, the company said.
