Iran Petchem Plants Restart Nearly Two Months After Floods, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Nearly all of the petrochemical plants in Iran that were shut down in April due to widespread flooding have restarted. The units, including two large ethylene units and a few polymer units, were closed for unplanned maintenance due to flood-related damage and the cut-off of feedstock supplies for 7-8 weeks. The units are expected to quickly ramp up production in the coming weeks.
