Formosa resumes production at some units of petrochemical complex in Yunlin

22-Jun-12
Taiwan’s Formosa Plastics Group (FPG) has resumed production at 54 out of the complex’s 66 units at its petrochemical complex in Yunlin County, shut adhoc by a power failure mid week. An investigation pinpointed the cause to be malfunctions of the double busbar circuit system at the petrochemical complex’s public utility area. FPG is in the process of completing safety inspections on these sites where the power failure occurred as Tropical Storm Talim approached Taiwan. All affected units are expected to come back online later in the day after these inspections. The complex houses an oil refinery with capacity to produce 25 mln tpa of crude oil and three naphtha crackers with a combined capacity to produce 2.94 mln tpa of ethylene. The complex also comprises other petrochemical plants, heavy machinery plants, a co-generation power plant and the Mailiao Industrial Harbor.
