With the turnarounds of Xinhang Energy and Xinjiang Tianye

With the turnarounds of Xinhang Energy and Xinjiang Tianye, operating rate of coal-based MEG units decreased to around 27% by August 25. Tongliao GEM Chemical shut its unit on Aug 26 and Weihe Binzhou Chemical would conduct maintenance in end-Aug. Then the run rate of coal-based MEG units is expected to fall below 25%. However, the rate is expected to recover in September with the restarts of Hubei Sanning and CNSG Anhui Hongsifang. For coal-based MEG units, the operating rate has dropped to the bottom.
