Acetic Acid Plant in Nanjing, China Begins Commercial Production
The company also announced that its 600,000 metric ton acetic acid facility in Nanjing, China has passed commercial qualification and is currently running at full production rates.
Based upon current expectations that sustainable operations at the Clear Lake facility resume by mid-July, the company continues to expect its full year adjusted earnings to be within its previously announced guidance range of between $2.85 and $3.15 per share. However, the company does expect the outage to have an impact on second quarter results. Adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter are expected to be modestly below the current second quarter 2007 First Call mean estimate.
