【Ten Years of Great Progress in Chemical Technology】Pushun Petrochemical’s in-house technology: pilot production of 5,000 tons per year of general-purpose hydrogenation catalysts from 2016 to 2023

Thread Content

Looking at the ten-year development of chemical technology, we praise the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point to encourage further discussion among everyone; with your participation, things will become even more interesting. [Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Equipment] – Regular updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. It’s important to enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. ----------------------------------------- Fushun Petrochemical’s 5,000-ton/year general-purpose hydrogenation catalyst project entered trial production. On August 30th, a batch of hydrocracking catalyst products was produced in Workshop 2 of Fushun Petrochemical’s catalyst factory. Following the successful production of qualified products from Line 1 of the 5,000 tons/year general-purpose hydrogenation catalyst project on June 24, Line 2 of this project has also established its production process recently. This marks the entry into trial production phase of Fushun Petrochemical’s general hydrogenation catalyst project, which involves a total investment of 301 million yuan and an annual production capacity of 5,000 tons. 　　Kim Hae-bing, head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Fushun Petrochemical Catalyst Factory, told reporters that the process for this project makes use entirely of Fushun Petrochemical’s own technologies, placing it at the forefront of the domestic industry in this field. In terms of production processes, this project strictly adheres to the environmental assessment requirements for \"zero emissions,\" overcoming challenges such as high dust levels and ammonia leakage, and striving to create systems with \"no emission outlets\" and true \"zero emissions.\" ； The use of technologies and equipment such as fully automated storage systems for raw materials and finished products has **improved the level of automation in the project and reduced the workload on employees. 　　The reporter learned that this project is the hydrogenation catalyst project with the largest investment and construction scale in China’s petroleum industry. Once the project is completed and put into operation, Fushun Petrochemical’s actual catalyst production capacity will increase to 13,000 tons per year. It will be possible to produce more than 80 different types of catalysts across seven categories, including those used for hydrorefining, hydrocracking, residue hydrogenation, catalytic reforming, xylene isomerization, long-chain alkane dehydrogenation, as well as adsorption protectants. This will lay the foundation for Fushun Petrochemical to become a leading catalyst manufacturer in China and renowned worldwide. It also holds great significance for the research and development, scale-up, production, and expansion of China Petroleum’s market share in the catalyst industry.
