ORLEN Unitpetrol completes remediation work on the Litvinov chemical complex's ethylene unit
Work to remedy a technical fault at the ethylene unit in the Litvínov chemical complex has been successfully completed, and the process of bringing it back into operation will commence in the coming hours. The commissioning of the ethylene unit will subsequently enable the resumption of production at other production units in the petrochemical part of the plant.
At the same time, temporarily reduced production in the refinery part of the plant will be gradually increased back to full capacity. We expect the petrochemical and refinery segments at our Litvínov complex to be fully operational again within the next week.
The resumption of operations at individual production units will be accompanied by the controlled combustion of industrial gases in safety burners. We apologize for any audiovisual effects associated with these safety processes and thank the public for their understanding.
The refinery in Kralupy nad Vltavou was not affected by the technical failure of the ethylene unit and remained in operation throughout.
