Adisseo to suspend operations at French methionine plant
 

Adisseo will suspend operations this April at its methionine upstream intermediate production plant in Les Roches, France, for safety and environmental inspection.

Conducted once every three years, the four-week inspection seeks to ensure with relevant authorities that all equipments fully comply with the latest safety and environmental regulations.

The scheduled check is a crucial part of the Adisseo Environment Health and Safety (EHS) Management and Responsible Care Programme.

During the four weeks, Adisseo will also carry out standard maintenance programmes on all its Rhodimet NP99 and AT88 plants to ensure their methionine production units are of the highest reliability levels.
