According to market sources, Braskem Idesa Etilino XXI Project, a joint venture between Braskem S. A. (75%) and Grupo Idesa S. A. (25%) has started commercial production on 25 March 2016.
The company aims to achieve 60% operational rate at its ethane cracker this week while targeting to bring its first polyethylene (PE) unit online simultaneously.
Based in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, the complex is able to process 66,000 barrels/day of ethane, 750,000 ton/year of HDPE and 300,000 ton/year of LDPE. With the start up of Braksem Idesa, Mexico is expected to reduce import PE by as much as 70%.
