韩华道达尔石化将把苯乙烯单体年产能扩大60万吨

据普氏能源资讯5月4日新加坡报道，一名市场消息人士周三（4日）在新加坡表示，韩国韩华道达尔石化公司计划通过在大山（Daesan）建造第3号工厂把其苯乙烯单体的年产能再扩大60万吨。

韩华道达尔石化公司在大山已经拥有40万吨/年的1号苯乙烯单体厂以及65万吨/年的2号苯乙烯单体厂。

消息人士补充说，此次扩建将使韩华道达尔石化公司成为亚洲最大的苯乙烯单体生产商，该公司届时将拥有160多万吨苯乙烯单体年生产能力。

目前，台湾的台湾化学纤维股份有限公司是亚洲最大的苯乙烯单体生产商，该公司具有年产120万吨苯乙烯单体的能力。

S Korea's Hanwha Total to build 600,000 mt/year No. 3 styrene monomer plant at Daesan in 2018

Singapore (Platts)--4 May 2016

South Korea's Hanwha Total Petrochemicals plans to expand its styrene monomer capacity by another 600,000 mt/year in 2018 by building a No. 3 plant at Daesan, a market source said Wednesday.

It already has the 400,000 mt/year No. 1 SM plant and 650,000 mt/year No. 2 unit at Daesan.

The expansion will make Hanwha Total the biggest SM producer in Asia, with a total nameplate capacity of more than 1.6 million mt/year, the source added.

Currently, Taiwan's Formosa Chemicals and Fibre Corp. with a capacity of 1.2 million mt/year is the largest SM producer.
