SAUDI ARABIA: Al Waha is taking steps to restart Jubail propylene, PP production

Al Waha Petrochemicals Co. has completed repairs and unscheduled maintenance at its Jubail, Saudi Arabia, propylene and polypropylene (PP) complex, and has initiated the necessary steps to resume operations.

Al Waha, which has 467,000 t/y of propylene capacity and 450,000 t/y of PP capacity, was forced to shut down the facilities earlier this month (Sept. 2013) because of a technical fault in a utilities unit.

Sahara Petrochemicals noted that the PP plant of its Al Waha affiliate “till August 2013 is over the plan with production of 306,000 tons.”
