Announcement on Zhejiang Petrochemical’s new 40 million tons/year integrated refining and chemical processing project!
Thread Content
On September 3, a pre-approval public notice was issued for the construction plan approval of the raw material optimization and supporting project for Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd.’s 40 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project. Project Name: Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. 40 million tons/year integrated refining and chemical processing project – raw material optimization and supporting facility constructionConstruction Unit: Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd.
Design Unit: Saiding Engineering Co., Ltd.
Location of Construction: Yushan Island, Daishan County
Scope of Construction: Construction of 180,000 tons/year ammonia synthesis plants, 400,000 tons/year methanol production plants, as well as related equipment and facilities; the total building area is 1,028 square meters. In addition to the raw material optimization and supporting facility projects, the Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. 40 million tons/year integrated refining and chemical processing project also includes construction and improvement projects. Project Name: Transformation and Upgrade Project for the Refining and Chemical Integration Facility of Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (Phase I)
Land Area: 4.66 hm² of new land to be used for construction
Total Investment: Approximately 3.2495 billion yuan
Construction Scale: Construction of a new 3-million-ton/year No. 3 slurry-bed residue hydrogenation unit (with an expanded catalyst configuration unit), as well as a new No. 2 oil residue gas production unit with an effective gas production capacity of 240,000 Nm³/h. Expansion facility: Expand the heavy metal recovery unit for oil sludge gasification; the disposal capacity after expansion will be 300 t/d ； The sulfur recovery unit was expanded accordingly, and the disposal capacity after the expansion is 8×16 + 30,000 tons per year. Other adjustments: Under normal operating conditions, the existing #1 delayed coking unit operates at low load ； Other storage and transportation engineering, utility engineering, and environmental protection engineering rely on the existing projects at the petrochemical complex. After the project is implemented, the oil processing routes for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the refining and chemical integration project will all be optimized to adopt a \"fully hydrogenated route.\" This will facilitate the production of more PX and ethylene raw materials, thereby enhancing Zhejiang Petrochemical’s competitiveness in the field of high-end chemical materials. It will also help the entire refining and chemical integration industry achieve \"pollution reduction and carbon emission cuts, as well as improved efficiency through synergies.\"”
Wow! There is new activity regarding Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 40 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project! Recently, they announced two major projects: one is the **raw material optimization and supporting facilities project**, which involves building new ammonia synthesis plants with an annual capacity of 180,000 tons and methanol production plants with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons on Yushan Island in Daishan County. Along with the associated equipment, the total construction area will be approximately 1,028 square meters. This project is primarily aimed at optimizing the raw material structure and improving overall efficiency. The other is the **Renovation and Improvement Project (Phase I)**, with an investment of around 3.25 billion yuan and an additional 4.66 hectares of land to be made available. The main construction tasks include: – Building a new #3 slurry-bed residue hydrogenation unit with a capacity of 3 million tons per year; – Constructing a new #2 oil residue gasification unit with a capacity of 240,000 Nm³/h; – Expanding the heavy metal recovery unit for oil residue gasification (increasing its processing capacity to 300 tons per day); – Expanding the sulfur recovery unit as well (raising its processing capacity to 8×16 + 30,000 tons per year). Once this renovation is completed, the oil processing processes at Zhejiang Petrochemical’s Phase I and Phase II projects will all be upgraded to a “fully hydrogenation-based process”. In this way, more PX (p-xylene) and ethylene raw materials can be produced, enhancing their competitiveness in the field of high-end chemical new materials. At the same time, the entire industrial chain can also become more environmentally friendly and lower in carbon emissions, achieving the goals of \"reducing pollution and carbon emissions while enhancing efficiency through synergy.\" In short, Zhejiang Petrochemical is making significant efforts to optimize its production structure by shifting toward higher-value-added and lower-emission products, which is very helpful in enhancing the competitiveness of China’s petrochemical industry! .
