(Reuters) Saudi International Petrochemical Co. (Sipchem) said Monday that a technical problem at its unit, International Gases Co., which had disrupted operations at two other units since mid-August, had been resolved and production was back to normal.
Production of acetic acid at International Acetate Co. and ethyl acetate at Sipchem Chemicals Co. is now at full capacity, Sipchem said in a statement.
The financial impact of the disruptions is estimated at $4.6 MM, which will be reflected in Q3 results, Sipchem said.
