Shandong Lihuayi butanol and octanol unit shut down for maintenance on August 17 and is expected to restart on September 11.

Shandong Lihuayi's core butanol and octanol production unit has officially entered the shutdown and maintenance phase. This unit maintenance will temporarily affect the domestic supply pattern of butanol and octanol markets, bringing phased variables to the current chemical raw material market trends.

According to the latest updates from the manufacturer, the butanol and octanol units undergoing maintenance by Shandong Lihuayi have a massive supporting production capacity, including an annual capacity of 85,000 tons for n-butanol, 25,000 tons for isobutanol, and 140,000 tons for octanol. It is one of the major production units in the domestic butanol and octanol market and has a significant impact on the supply of goods in North China and even the national market. The unit officially shut down for maintenance on August 17, with a maintenance cycle expected to last 26 days, and is scheduled to complete maintenance and restart production on September 11.
