Net income for the EQUATE Group for 2Q, 2018 was $427 million, up 75 per cent compared to the same period in 2017.

Total revenue was $1.26 billion for 2Q, 2018, up 37.5 per cent compared to Q2, 2017.

EBITDA for Q2 was $570 million in 2018, compared to $383 million in second quarter of 2017, an increase of 48.7 per cent.

For the first half of the year, the EQUATE Group realized a record breaking EBITDA of USD $1.15 billion, an increase of 34 per cent over the same period last year. First half net income was USD $862 million, up 56 per cent from 1H of 2017.

Dr. Ramesh Ramachandran, President and CEO of EQUATE, said, “EQUATE’s higher earnings in second quarter of 2018 were primarily driven by high prices in EG across the globe and a very good pricing environment in the PE and PET businesses. Operational reliability in the second quarter continued to be excellent which enabled us to capitalize on the high prices.  Safe operations remain our number one priority globally. Good cost control and the cost and growth synergies from the MEGlobal merger have also enabled EQUATERs to deliver an outstanding quarter.”

This is air pollution - basically off gassing toxic chemicals. In the same way previously air fresheners did NOT neutralise smells but added to pollution of IAQ (indoor air quality) Thanks to chemicals like Dichlorobenzene, I now have organ damage, fragrance allergies etc.... so I suggest you run spectrum analysis to see exactly what is in the air and being given off by this.
