The hydrogenation of benzene to device maintenance so concentrated there are three main reasons

The hydrogenation of benzene to device maintenance so concentrated there are three main reasons: on the one hand, with the cold weather, enterprises have a routine maintenance plan before winter; second, the spread between the last few months of hydrogenation of benzene and raw materials has narrow crude benzol to enterprise long-term, it is difficult to profit started enthusiasm also reduce; third, environmental protection inspector group in October in Shandong, which is part of the enterprise choose this one reason maintenance shutdown.

In addition to the first half of the overhaul has production capacity of 730 thousand tons in October, there are still some device ready queue maintenance, the following table, the second half of this month to the beginning of November still has 6 units, a total of 760 thousand tons of production capacity of the maintenance plan, but some of the enterprises did not explicitly set a date, and most rational device maintenance time more. About a week or so is expected to supply little further effect.

In addition to Ningxia Baofeng 100 thousand tons / year device is arranged outside the early restart overhaul recently, 630 thousand tons of the remaining no recovery started, it is understood that this part of the enterprise will be mostly in late 10 and early November between the device and restart, week maintenance program will be 20-30 million tons to overhaul the queue, so the latter part of the domestic hydrogenation benzene spot supply is expected to continue to decline, the spot resources increasingly tense, whether into action on the new market price?

The hydrogenation of benzene to spot supply tension without doubt, but the market continues to rise on power is still insufficient, the reason is still restricted petrobenzene. Recently, Sinopec benzene listing price has been steady, while the outer disk has been lower than the domestic price, the price of crude in the oscillating near $50 a barrel, always difficult to give a strong boost to periphery, and the hydrogenation of benzene in early at the beginning of the month after the price adjustment, and the level of oil price is only 100 yuan / tons of benzene, normal market conditions this spread, it is very difficult to continue to narrow, and the downstream styrene is difficult to profit, the user purchase enthusiasm is not high. In conclusion, although the domestic hydrogenation of benzene supply will be more intense, but the latter is expected price is very difficult in the current on the basis of a step up again.
