Plant reliability improved by 14% year-on-year (YoY) with average product quality and energy efficiency rising by 2% and 8% YoY, respectively.
Saudi Kayan’s production slightly increased to 5.32 million tons, from 5.31 million tons in 2018 despite the estimated decline of 93,000 tons in the wake of the drone attacks launched on Saudi Aramco’s plants and lower feedstock supplies, data compiled by Argaam showed.
Meanwhile, sales volumes grew by 6% YoY to 3.05 million tons.
The petrochemical producer uses ethylene and propylene as feedstock for polyethylene, polypropylene and MEG.
