MOSCOW (MRC) -- ExxonMobil has restarted impacted units at its refinery and petrochemical complex in Singapore, as per Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in Singapore informed that the units restarted early this week. They had shut on September 10, 2014 owing to a power failure.
Located at Jurong Island in Singapore, the refinery has a crude processing capacity of 605,000 bpd.
As MRC wrote before, in early 2014, ExxonMobil officially opened its multi-billion dollar Singapore chemical plant expansion on Jurong Island, to serve growth markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
The expansion included a second 1-million-t/y steam cracker, two 650,000-t/y polyethylene plants, a 450,000-t/y polypropylene plant, a 300,000-t/y specialty elastomers unit, an aromatics extraction facility to produce 340,000 t/y of benzene, and a 125,000-t/y oxo-alcohol expansion.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in the energy industry and produces about 3% of the world's oil and about 2% of the world's energy.
