    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.
