No word from LSB on Pryor start-up

Pryor, Okla.-There was no official word last week from LSB Industries Inc. as to the start-up of its anhydrous ammonia and UAN plants at its Pryor Chemical Co. subsidiary in Pryor, Okla. However, industry sources report the plant is again in start-up mode, with one source saying the plant could begin producing any day now. Earlier this summer, LSB had targeted the end of September as the date to get the plants up after they went offline due to a fire (GM July 5, 2010). LSB has been renovating much of the Pryor facility, which was idled several years ago. To date, LSB says the ammonia and UAN plants have not reached full production.
