Brazil's Braskem Resumes Normal Ethylene Production, an Industrial Info Market Brief

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Brazil in March, Braskem was forced to lower production rates at its major petrochemical complexes, which affected its ethylene production. After further evaluations, they were able to resume normal capacity at the 870.5 million-pound-per-year ethylene cracker in Santo Andre, as well as the 1.3 billion-pound-per-year Ethylene 1 and 734 million-pound-per-year Ethylene 2 units in Camacari.
