The four major super petrochemical integration projects in China – Hengli, Zhoushan, Zhongke, and Shenghong – have always attracted considerable attention. There are just over twenty days left in 2018. Will these projects bring any surprises by the end of this year? Dalian Hengli Refining & Chemicals aims to start trial production on December 15! Hengli’s 20 million-ton integrated refining and chemical project helps build a global \"petrochemical aircraft carrier\". The Hengli refining and chemical integration project is, to date in China, the largest integrated project planned to be built at one time, featuring the longest processing chain, the highest degree of integration between upstream and downstream facilities, and the most complex technology. Once in operation, the Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian Changxing Island) Industrial Park will generate an annual output value of 300 billion yuan. It will help Hengli Group establish a complete industrial chain that spans from crude oil to aromatics, PTA, polyester, and then to both consumer and industrial fibers, as well as textiles. This will help reverse the current situation in Dalian’s petrochemical industry, where the oil-related aspects dominate while the chemical processing aspects are underdeveloped. It will also accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, contributing to the revitalization of the old industrial bases in the Northeast. At the same time, it will also help to break the long-standing dependence on imports for domestic petrochemical raw materials to a certain extent, effectively enhance China’s influence in the international arena regarding aromatics and olefins, and ensure the security of the petrochemical industry. The project is currently in the peak phase of installation, with thousands of large-scale installation equipment and over 50,000 construction workers on site. All types of large-scale moving and stationary equipment have been installed, and the supporting utilities and auxiliary facilities such as thermal power plants, docks, tank farms, coal-to-hydrogen production units, and sewage treatment systems are ready for operation. Training for relevant personnel, preparations for trial production, and plans for commissioning are all in place. The focus of work has shifted to the commissioning and startup phase. This project is now the fastest-progressing among the **seven major petrochemical industry bases, with the goal of starting trial production by December 15. It has set numerous industry records. This project is not only an important step in reviving the old industrial bases in the Northeast, but it also serves as a benchmark for China’s petrochemical industry. Hengli Petrochemical has become the first large-scale privately-owned refinery in the country to be put into operation. For the first phase of the Zhoushan Zhejiang Petrochemical project, all the core equipment for the naphtha cracking unit, which boasts the largest single-line ethylene production capacity in China, has been installed. Power supply to the main instrument cabinet room was successfully established. The second phase of Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 40 million tons per year refining and chemical processing complex, which is owned by the private enterprise Rongsheng Holding and has a total investment of 173 billion yuan, has now begun to be planned. The ethylene plant in Phase 1 utilizes 9 ethylene cracker units, with each unit having an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons – setting a world record for the largest modular single-unit production capacity. To date, 78.1 billion yuan has been invested in the Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Project; once Phase 1 is completed by the end of the year, it will have an oil refining capacity of 20 million tons per year. The \"giant\" equipment for Sinochem Refining and Chemicals is arriving one after another, and the installation work is in full swing. The project has now fully entered the EPC turnkey construction phase, making steady and rapid progress toward the goal of completion and operation by the end of 2019. https://mpt.135editor.com/mmbiz_jpg/ypHkr9lwlYOTjicTwrK9wOpYyyGD7q9S8iaxHH6EQaqj0PXgVRBZ5NebBBf4CzQLPt1NfZ2DNaMDDvtxmWnx826A/640?wx_fmt=jpeg https://mpt.135editor.com/mmbiz_jpg/Z0wb9dOKCQZMswFIicqkX1h6tu7wt9PnBWKib1j6Ws3DBqwqeEib0vdOoJvvTbS8NwALiblYnxSchtejicjOZxICicPg/640?wx_fmt=jpeg Since the launch of the 100-day labor competition at Sinopec Refining and Chemical at the end of October, there has been a strong atmosphere of hard work on site; the number of workers involved in construction each day has increased by over 1,000 compared to before the campaign started, and construction activities on site have reached their peak. In November, a large number of equipment for the project arrived, totaling 102 units. The Sinochem Refining and Chemicals project is currently the largest petrochemical project under construction in China. Construction began at Donghai Island in Zhanjiang at the end of 2016. It is a key project during Guangdong Province’s 13th Five-Year Plan period. Phase 1 of the project includes refining facilities with an annual capacity of 10 million tons, as well as ethylene production facilities with an annual capacity of 800,000 tons; the total investment in this project exceeds 40 billion yuan. Upon completion, the project will generate an annual output value of over 60 billion yuan and bring in more than 20 billion yuan in tax revenues, thereby driving the development of downstream industrial chains worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Shenghong Petrochemical was fully built and put into operation in 2021! Shenghong is building a world-class petrochemical industry base. In order to integrate more deeply into the Belt and Road Initiative as well as the development strategy for a demonstration zone for regional cooperation among China, the Middle East, and Europe, in 2010 Shenghong Group seized the opportunities presented by various strategic initiatives. Responding to the call for coordinated industrial development between the north and south of the province, the company decided to invest in the construction of a first-class international petrochemical industry park in Lianyungang. The project is planned to feature an integrated refining complex with a capacity of 16 million tons per year for oil refining, 2.8 million tons per year for aromatics production, and 1.1 million tons per year for ethylene and its downstream derivatives. It will also include facilities such as a crude oil terminal with a capacity of 300,000 tons, storage areas covering 3.5 million cubic meters, and utility islands. The total investment amount is approximately 77.5 billion yuan. Upon completion of the project, Shenghong Petrochemical will establish a unique dual-track development model based on oil-derived olefins and alcohol-derived olefins, thereby providing a new pathway for the transformation and upgrading of China’s petrochemical industry. Ensure that the project officially starts construction by the end of this year, with the civil work completed in 2019, equipment installation finished in 2020, and the project fully operational by 2021.
