Vietnam's largest refinery Nghi Son completed major maintenance at the facility on Wednesday, one week ahead of schedule, the company said.
The 200,000-barrel-per-day Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical will resume sales of refined fuels from Thursday, the company said in a statement.
Nghi Son is 35.1% owned by Japan's Idemitsu Kosan Co , 35.1% by Kuwait Petroleum, 25.1% by Vietnam's state oil firm PetroVietnam and 4.7% by Mitsui Chemicals Inc.
The company said all of the refinery's units had been restarted, adding that it will increase operating capacity of the entire plant in the coming days.
In August, an official document signed by Kuwait's oil minister and reviewed by Reuters showed the refinery could incur a $1 billion loss this year, due to price volatility, increasing interest payments for loans and the maintenance shutdown.
We remind, Honeywell and GranBio Technologies announced that they will combine Honeywell’s ethanol to jet technology with GranBio’s cellulosic ethanol AVAP technology to produce carbon neutral SAF from biomass residues at GranBio’s forthcoming U.S. demonstration plant. GranBio’s patented AVAP process converts biomass, including forest and agricultural residues, to pure low-cost, low-carbon-intensity sugars, lignin, and nanocellulose.
