MOSCOW (MRC) -- Shandong Levima New Material is likely to take its methanol-to-olefin (MTO) plant off-stream for maintenance, as per Apic-online.
A Polymerupdate source in China informed that the company has planned to commence maintenance at its plant in early-October, 2017. The plant is expected to remain off-line for around 6 weeks.
