RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (ICIS)--Braskem plans to complete its ethane flexibility project at its complex in Camacari in Bahia state by the end of the year, an executive for the Brazilian polyolefins producer said on Monday. The flexibility project includes several steps. Braskem is converting the Camacari cracker so it can use ethane for up to 15% of its feedstock. Right now, the cracker uses only naphtha.
