Philippines' JG Summit naphtha unit restarts after extended shutdown

SINGAPORE, March 9(Reuters) - The Philippines' JG Summit
Olefins has restarted operations at its naphtha cracker over the
weekend following a shutdown since the fourth quarter of 2019, a
person familiar with the matter said on Monday.
JG Summit Olefins operates a 320,000 tonnes per year (tpy)
naphtha cracker, the only such unit in the Philippines. The
company shut the plant in October for maintenance and expansion
works to raise the nameplate capacity to 480,000 tpy.
But JG delayed the restart of the cracker because of
technical issues and weak petrochemical margins due to high raw
material costs.
Throughput at the cracker is expected to reach full capacity
by Thursday, the person added.
