Polish chemicals company Grupa Azoty's 437,000 t/yr propane dehydrogenation (PDH) project in Police, northwest Poland, has been delayed again. The contractor, South Korea's Hyundai Engineering, has asked Azoty to increase the project's budget by nearly €40mn ($43mn) and delay its completion by 95 days, Azoty says. This would push back completion until late May, a year and a half behind schedule. Azoty will analyse the request, it says. Hyundai Engineering told Azoty in November last year that it was 166 days behind schedule. Azoty announced last month that production at the Police plant, which includes 429,000 t/yr of polypropylene capacity, was ramping up, with aims to reach capacity in the third quarter. But it now says the contractor's request may delay a "plant integrity test" that had been planned for this quarter. Azoty cited "unexpected problems during start-up of some installations" as the reason for the delay in August 2023.
