中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯东京6月14日消息，日本经济产业省（METI）周二晚表示，5月份日本乙烯产量环比4月份下降2.5%至53.59万吨。

与去年同期相比，5月份日本乙烯产量则增加了5.8%。

月度环比下降是由于旭化成三菱化学乙烯公司在5月10日关闭了位于水岛的石脑油裂解装置进行年度检修。该裂解装置计划在7月3日重启。

该裂解装置设计年产49.5万吨的乙烯和32万吨的丙烯。

Japan's May ethylene output falls 3% on month to 535,900 mt: METI

Tokyo (Platts)--14 Jun 2017 925 am EDT/1325 GMT

Japan's ethylene production in May fell 2.5% from April to 535,900 mt, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said late Tuesday.

Year on year, ethylene production was up 5.8%.

A month-on-month decline was due to Asahi Kasei Mitsubishi Chemical Ethylene Corp. shutting its naphtha-fed steam cracker at Mizushima on May 10 for annual maintenance. The cracker is due to restart July 3.

The cracker can produce 495,000 mt/year of ethylene and 320,000 mt/year of propylene.
