According to market sources, Dongguan Grand Resource Science and Technology Co Ltd (JuZhengYuan) is planning to cut operating rates at its two PP units in Guangzhou starting 2 June 2021 due to the worsening electricity supply shortage in this region.
The two PP lines with a combined capacity of 600,000 tons/year would be running at 70% capacity until further notice.
In the meantime, the upstream propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit is not affected by the issue and would maintain a full operating rate, from which sources said that the company might be selling the excess propylene until the downstream PP production return to normal.
