Rabigh Refining and Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh) has restarted the plant which had gone off-stream on September 15, due to interruption of power and steam supplies.

During the last weekend, all basic units of the complex were started up, including the ethane cracker unit which was started up with limited capacity (60 Million standard cubic feet per day) and which will be operated at full capacity (95 Million standard cubic feet per day) in the first week of October.

Petro Rabigh converts ethane gas with its world-scale ethane cracker to 1.3 million tons of ethylene per year. It then uses this ethylene to produce many other products.
