Sahara Petrochemicals affiliate restarting plant

An affiliate of Sahara Petrochemicals 2260.SE is working on restarting a petrochemical plant after scheduled maintenance, Sahara said.

Al Waha Petrochemical had closed its propylene and polypropylene plant in Jubail for 30 days from April 1.

The plant has annual production capacity of 460,000 tons of propylene which serves as feedstock to make 450,000 tons of polypropylene, according to its website.

The company completed maintenance work on Thursday, Sahara said.

Any financial impact will be reflected in the company’s second-quarter results.
