19-Jul-17

Kuwait's Ethylene 2 Plant has resumed operation following a brief shutdown for technical considerations last week. "Operations at our EU2 have resumed normally in record time following repairs. Both the Ethylene Glycol and Polyethylene plants in Kuwait have returned to the usual production levels as they were impacted by the temporary shutdown of EU2," the Kuwait News Agency, KUNA, quoted EQUATE Group’s President and CEO Mohammad Husain as saying.

The EU2 has a production capacity of 850,000 metric tons annually and is owned by The Kuwait Olefins Company, TKOC, part of the EQUATE Group.
