For now, the prospects for ethylene plants are very good! For MTO to be profitable, it must be equipped with upstream and downstream facilities! For traditional million-ton ethylene cracking units, only a few large state-owned enterprises have them in operation; these are always oil refining plants with a capacity of tens of millions of tons, along with ethylene production units of one million tons each! The demand for ethylene remains high; whether it’s for investment or employment, the prospects for ethylene production facilities are quite promising!
