據普氏能源資訊5月4日新加坡報道，一名市場消息人士周三（4日）在新加坡表示，韓國韓華道達爾石化公司計劃通過在大山（Daesan）建造第3號工廠把其苯乙烯單體的年產能再擴大60萬噸。

    韓華道達爾石化公司在大山已經擁有40萬噸/年的1號苯乙烯單體廠以及65萬噸/年的2號苯乙烯單體廠。

    消息人士補充說，此次擴建將使韓華道達爾石化公司成為亞洲最大的苯乙烯單體生產商，該公司屆時將擁有160多萬噸苯乙烯單體年生產能力。

    目前，臺灣的臺灣化學纖維股份有限公司是亞洲最大的苯乙烯單體生產商，該公司具有年產120萬噸苯乙烯單體的能力。

    S Korea's Hanwha Total to build 600,000 mt/year No. 3 styrene monomer plant at Daesan in 2018

    Singapore (Platts)--4 May 2016

    South Korea's Hanwha Total Petrochemicals plans to expand its styrene monomer capacity by another 600,000 mt/year in 2018 by building a No. 3 plant at Daesan, a market source said Wednesday.

    It already has the 400,000 mt/year No. 1 SM plant and 650,000 mt/year No. 2 unit at Daesan.

    The expansion will make Hanwha Total the biggest SM producer in Asia, with a total nameplate capacity of more than 1.6 million mt/year, the source added.

    Currently, Taiwan's Formosa Chemicals and Fibre Corp. with a capacity of 1.2 million mt/year is the largest SM producer.
