Overhaul started in Petrohemija
On Monday, February 27, 2012, overhaul of production plants has started in HIP-Petrohemija a.d. Pancevo,and it will last by the end of March,i.e. beginning of April.The production has already been stopped in mid-February,when for the reason of the state of emergency in Serbia,operation has been stopped first in LDPE Plant and Petroplast Plant,and after that in all the other petrochemical plants in Pancevo.
During the overhaul the production will be completely stopped in Petrohemija,
except in Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber Plant in Elemir in which overhaul of the production installations will be performed after the completion of the production cycle.
The general overhaul is performed for the reason of more safe and more efficient plants operation,which means observing legal obligations on periodical testing of safety valves and vessels under pressure and replacement and repair of machines and equipment in the plants.The overhaul activities are carried out according to the previously established schedule known to the competent Republic and city authorities and in accordance with the regulations on environmental protection.
The exact date of Petrohemija’sstart-up depends on overhaul activities,which are at the same time carried out in the neighboring Oil Refinery Pancevo.
