据路透社新加坡3月20日消息，台湾台塑石化公司一位新闻发言人周二表示，公司预计将在未来7-10天内重启70万吨/年的石脑油裂解装置，此前该装置在周一未能按计划恢复正常操作。

周一凌晨该装置因小故障而意外停工，同一天晚些时候公司试图恢复生产。

该新闻发言人表示，但是突然的停工已经影响到该装置的部分构造，因此公司未能按计划重启该装置。

台塑石化是亚洲最大的石脑油进口商，该公司还拥有另外两套产能更大的裂解装置，合计产能为223万吨/年，这两套装置当前正常运行。

Formosa Petrochemical expects naphtha cracker to restart in 7-10 days

Taiwan's Formosa Petrochemical Corp is expected to restart a 700 Mtpy naphtha cracker in about 7 to 10 days after the unit failed to resume normal operation on Monday as intended, a company spokesman said on Tuesday.

The unit was idled unexpectedly early Monday due to minor glitches and was to restart later in the same day.

But the sudden shutdown has affected some of its structure and prevented Formosa from restarting the unit as planned, the spokesman said.

Formosa, Asia's top naphtha importer, has two other larger crackers which have a combined capacity of 2.23 MMtpy, both of which are operating normally.
