Formosa refinery looks to increase throughput to 95%.

摘要

Formosa Petrochemical Corp.'s 540K-b/d Mailiao refinery, aims to increase its operating rate 5 percentage points in the coming month, which would position it at its all-time high of 95%. The refinery is not looking to exceed 95%, a spokesman stated, due to the current weak demand for products, including base oil. The facility, which is Asia's fifth largest in terms of capacity, was damaged by fire in 2010 and 2011, but all units are now back to running at normal capacity.
