Petro Rabigh Restarts Polypropylene Plant

8 September 2010

Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh) has restarted its polypropylene plant in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia.

The 700,000t/year plant was stopped in early August due to shortage of propylene feedstock.

The propylene and polypropylene units are part of the company's cracker complex.

Petro Rabigh said that it has reduced export cargoes after the restart in order to build inventory.
