A technical issue at a carbon monoxide plant owned by Saudi International Petrochemical Co. (Sipchem) and operated by its affiliate, International Gases Co. (IGC), led to reduced capacity at plants producing acetic acid and ethyl acetate. The plants use carbon monoxide as a feedstock for some of their products.
Technical teams are focused on resolving the issue and restoring full operating capacity at the carbon monoxide plant. Initial estimates indicate the issue may continue until the third week of August, 2016.
