Huntsman's major ethylene unit resumes production

09/11/2005

Huntsman Corporation has confirmed that its largest olefins manufacturing facility in Port Arthur, Texas, has returned to production. The company stopped production at the plant on September 22 in advance of Hurricane Rita's landfall near Port Arthur. The facility sustained no serious structural damage during the storm but did require some repairs and its restart was delayed by the lack of electrical power and limited availability of other utilities it receives from a neighbouring refinery.

With the successful restart of the Port Arthur facility, all Huntsman primary Gulf Coast plants have now resumed production.
