South Korea based Tongsuh Petrochemical has reduced operating rates at its three Acrylonitrile (ACN) lines in Ulsan. 
 
“Due to weak demand fundamentals in the domestic market, our three ACN lines are currently operating at 80 percent production capacity,” a Tongsuh official informed fibre2fashion. 
 
Providing details of any impending turnarounds at the ACN plant, he said, “The annual maintenance turnaround of ACN line No-2 and No-4 will take place in October 2013 and they will remain shut for a period of one month.” 
 
The total production capacity of the Ulsan ACN plant is 560,000 tons per year. Line No- 2 has a production capacity of 70,000 tons per year and line No-3 and No-4, each have a capacity of 245,000 tons per year.
