China's Hengli Petrochemical plans to start test runs at one of its two new paraxylene production lines in Dalian, Liaoning province, in November, in line with planned trial runs at its new 20 million mt/year (400,000 b/d) refinery in October.
Both lines have a production capacity of 2.25 million mt/year. The second line is expected to start in the first or second quarter of 2019, the source said.
