Indonesia's Lotte Chemical Titan to restart the troubled LLDPE line

Indonesia's PT Lotte Chemical Titan Nusantara reportedly shutdown its LLDPE line during late February 2017 due to unspecified technical issues. Source close to the company informed that the unit might be able to come back online by the end of this week.

PT Lotte Chemical Titan Nusantara is non-integrated petrochemical plant in Indonesia. It is designed to produce 200,000 tons/year of LLDPE and 250,000 tons/year of HDPE.

As reported earlier, the company has finalized its expansion project, which aims to include a cracker, increase PE output and possibly a PP line into the existing complex. Construction tender is expected to open by end of this year.
