Thread Content

At 1:00 a.m. on August 6, Jinling Petrochemical’s 2 million tons per year residue hydrogenation unit produced qualified products, marking a successful first operation of the unit. The commissioning of this set of equipment is of great significance for Jinling Petrochemical to further optimize the plant structure and production processes, improve resource utilization, increase the production of high-value-added products, and enhance the company’s economic efficiency. This is Jinling Petrochemical’s second residue hydrogenation unit, and it is also a key project in the second round of upgrades aimed at improving the quality of petroleum products. With the commissioning of this setup, the capacity for processing residue oil has been increased, and the conversion rate of heavy oil has improved. This provides more feedstock for the catalytic cracking unit, while at the same time reducing the processing volume of the delayed coking unit. As a result, the product profile has been further optimized and resource utilization has improved. The 2 million tons per year residue hydrogenation unit officially began construction on September 29, 2015, and was completed on May 15, 2017. After a series of preparatory actions such as water transfer and blasting for cleaning, along with thorough inspections and corrective actions, the unit was successfully started for the first time at 13:18 on June 30. Slag oil was successfully blended in at 16:00 on August 5, and qualified products were produced on August 6.
