Qilu Petrochemicals shut down its ACN unit in the second week of July. The unit continues to remain off-stream and is uncertain about its restart date. Earlier the unit was shut down for maintenance but could not resume its production as strict environmental inspections have been major concern. The Chinese government has become very conscious and strict with its environmental laws. All these issues has in turn plunged the ACN prices to very high level in China. The unit is based at Zibo in Shandong province of China and has the production capacity of 80,000 tons per year.
