Celanese/Mitsui plant shut down due to technical fault

Texas based Celanese/Mitsui methanol plant was restarted after brief maintenance but was again shut down abruptly due to some technical glitch.

Earlier the unit was shut down on 28 April for brief maintenance and was in process of restart. "The affected equipment is being cooled down to permit an inspection to take place”. After detailed inspection the authorities will decide when to start the production. The turnaround affected the methanol unit as well as all downstream acetic acid and vinyl acetate monomer units at the site.
