[Akrapovic]

The state company expects to complete a monthly production of between 1,800 and 2,000 tons of this petroleum-derived product

 

 

Based on the problem of production and distribution of paraffin, the main raw material for the national production of candles, Ecopetrol reported that with the dispatch to customers of a volume between 50 and 60 tons produced in the Barrancabermeja refinery, Ecopetrol resumed deliveries of this by-product.

The state company assured that paraffin production began on Saturday, November 13, after completing the start-up and stabilization process of the refinery's Paraffins and Phenol Unit, which was under scheduled maintenance.

 

 

The paraffin plant will deliver between 50 and 60 tons per day to the national market starting tomorrow, November 18, 2021.

In this way, Ecopetrol estimates to complete a monthly production of between 1,800 and 2,000 tons.

The company also noted that the previous week 300 tons were delivered, which mitigated the impact of the lower quantities produced as a result of the extension of general maintenance, which was affected by the covid-19 pandemic and the procurement of materials in the international market. .

Ecopetrol regretted the delay in paraffin production and stated that it hopes that national manufacturers will be able to make their deliveries in the short term.
