01/04/2014 Argaam

Saudi International Petrochemical Co. (Sipchem) said it started a 35 day turnaround at its Butanediol plant starting April 1, 2014 for scheduled maintenance.

Sipchem will use the stoppage period to connect new expansion facilities to current units, the company said in a statement.

The company expects a financial impact of five million Saudi riyals in the second quarter 2014.

According to Argaam’s data, the International Diol Company, Sipchem’s subsidiary, signed a contract with a Korean company (on July 14, 2013) to source engineering, procurement and construction services to leverage the efficiency of its Butanediol plant.
