China's Ningbo Fortune shut PDH and PP plant on technical issues



Due to an unspecified technical issue at the upstream propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit, Ningbo Fortune Petrochemical Co Ltd (Fuji) is forced to take both the PDH and the downstream PP plants offline on 5 October 2019. 

Repair works are taking place, however, sources said that both plants might need to remain shut for at least 30 days.

Ningbo Fortune Petrochemical Co Ltd (Fuji) is a subsidiary of Oriental Energy Co Ltd (Dong Hua). Its plant in Ningbo houses a PDH unit with an annual capacity of 660,000 tons of propylene/year. Meanwhile, the PP unit produces 400,000 tons/year.
