Two ethylene units are undergoing consecutive maintenance; pyrolysis C5 production is expected to decline next week.

National Industrial Cracking C5 Weekly Output Statistics Table

This week, the output of industrial cracking C5 decreased slightly compared to last week, with a negligible change of 0.15%.

Individual enterprises saw small fluctuations in output this week, mainly within the normal range due to changes in feedstock charging. Overall output fluctuation was small. The ethylene unit of Sinopec-SK (Wuhan) Company started maintenance on June 4, and Hainan Refining & Chemical is expected to begin maintenance on June 6. Next week, cracking C5 output is expected to decline by approximately 3.6% compared to this week. Additionally, more enterprises are scheduled to enter maintenance periods at the end of the month.

Based on the maintenance schedules, the total cracking C5 output in June is forecast to be 306,700 tons. In July, as some enterprises complete their maintenance, output is expected to increase slightly compared to June. At the same time, enterprises that previously halted sales may resume sales.

Currently, the anticipated reduction in refining unit throughput has not affected ethylene unit load. We will continue to follow up and report.
