Green petroleum coke (GPC) output in Shandong independent refineries would decline greatly in March, due to clustered coker maintenance, C1 found.
Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group set to shut down its 1-mil-mt/yr coker for monthlong maintenance on Mar 5, according to a refinery source.
In order to reserve 5,000mt of GPC for sales during its turnaround, the refinery had begun to ration sales recently, the source said.
The refinery normally yielded 800mt of GPC per day, taking up 7% of Shandong independent refineries' GPC daily output.
In addition, Shandong Boxing Yongxin Chemical Co Ltd planned to put its 400,000mt/yr coker into 15-day maintenance in late March, a refinery source said. The refinery's GPC daily output was 300mt, 3% of GPC daily output in Shandong independent refineries.
As C1 had reported earlier, Shandong Hualian Petrochemical planned to start maintenance on its 400,000mt/yr coker at the end of March. Meanwhile, Shandong Jingbo Petrochemical Co Ltd's two cokers with a total coking capacity of 1.4-mil-mt/yr still remained in maintenance at present. Even if its cokers resumed operation at the end of the month, the Shandong independent refineries would still expect about 13% of GPC output loss then.
Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group has a 1-mil-mt/yr coker and Shandong Boxing Yongxin Chemical Co Ltd a 400,000mt/yr coker.
