Taiwan's Formosa operates refinery at reduced rate due to maintenance

Taiwan's Formosa Petrochemical Corp. is operating its refinery at a reduced rate of 410,000 bpd due to maintenance at its delayed coker unit (DCU) this month, its spokesperson KY Lin said on Monday.

Formosa operates a 540,000-bpd refinery complex in Mailiao and is one of the region's largest refined products exporters.

The company has stopped operations at its delayed coker unit (DCU) for 20 days since Dec. 1 for maintenance, Lin said. It also planned to shut two refining units for maintenance in March 2025, he added.

Formosa planned to shut its sulfur recovery unit (SRU) for 40 days and its No. 1 84,000-bpd residue fluid catalytic cracker (RFCC) for more than two months
