Major Ethylene Pipeline Undergoing Repairs

A part of the West Ethylene Pipeline, which was damaged by heavy rains and landslides in Kermanshah Province, will be repaired and come online by the end of the week, the director of production control at the National Petrochemical Company said.
“Restoration work on other damaged parts of the pipeline is underway and efforts are being made to resume ethylene flow in the pipeline as soon as possible,” NPC news website NIPNA quoted Qodratollah Farajpour as saying.
