Pu Jieneng Chemical’s production, sales, and profits reach new highs Author/Source: Pu Jieneng Chemical Date: 2022-01-06 Clicks: 6 As 2021 came to an end, the company released impressive results: 2.215 million tons of methanol were produced throughout the year, along with 747,000 tons of polyethylene and polypropylene products； 742,000 tons of polyolefin products were sold ； It achieved operating revenue of 6.9 billion yuan and a total profit of 360 million yuan, setting historical best records for output, sales volume, and profit since it began operations. With \"stability\" as the key, production levels keep rising: the 2# gasifier has been in continuous operation for 85.9 days, the polyethylene extruder for 120 days, the two desulfurization units for 333 days, and the 3# boiler for 389 days… These figures from the company’s production sites clearly demonstrate the successful achievement of stable, continuous, efficient, and high-quality production. Fully mobilize the \"electronic eyes\" and \"iron fists\" to ensure the stable operation of production. A “Production Data Management and Display System” was established, which improves the collaborative capabilities and the efficiency of process operations across various production centers by processing, analyzing, integrating, displaying, and sharing real-time production data. “In addition to increasing production through stable operations, we also race against time in terms of maintenance, shifting the plant’s status from maintenance mode to production mode ahead of schedule, thereby laying the foundation for maintaining and boosting production levels. ”Liu Heng, the head of the Production Technology Department, explained that during the maintenance period in 2021, the company attempted for the first time to operate the gasification furnace while only one air separation unit was in use, and this approach succeeded in reducing the startup time of the methanol plant and the olefin plant by 4.5 days and 1 day respectively. Implement TPM, a total production maintenance management system, and establish a equipment defect management platform to achieve intelligent integration and closed-loop management across the entire process, including the detection and reporting of equipment defects, assignment and confirmation, maintenance and inspection, as well as effect evaluation. Four specialized task forces were established to successfully resolve the issues with key units that affected the stable operation of production. Since 2021, the company’s equipment integrity rate has risen to 99.8%, reaching its highest level ever. All these achievements have laid a solid foundation for a continuous increase in production. Driven by innovation, sales reach new heights. Although the polyolefin market improved in 2021 compared to 2020, factors such as recurring outbreaks of the pandemic and the introduction of new polyolefin production capacity in China meant that to sell products in large quantities and at good prices, it was necessary to come up with new strategies regarding distribution channels and approaches. Following the overall strategy of \"stabilizing the surrounding areas and expanding into the southwest,\" the company expanded its operations to regions such as North China, East China, and South China, successfully acquiring 13 new clients. At the same time, in line with market conditions, new Tiefeng distribution centers were established in Chongqing in a timely manner to sustain the increase in supply to the southwest market. In addition, the company has further implemented the \"production based on sales\" mechanism, and for the first time collaborated with the Dow Group to develop polypropylene random copolymers as well as high-melting impact-resistant copolymers such as RP344RK and EP548T, aiming to enhance product competitiveness and market share through differentiated, diversified, and high-end products. At the same time, by learning from outstanding companies such as Ningxia Baofeng and Jutai Group, the company improved its rapid response mechanism for product pricing, adjusting from bottom-price bidding and offline bidding to free bidding by customers and online bidding. This approach not only increased revenue from main and secondary products by 36.24 million yuan, but also the flexible sales mechanism won the recognition of more and more customers, resulting in a significant increase in sales volume. In November, the company tried the bulk polyolefin pellet packaging and sales model for the first time, with very good results. By combining \"lifting\" and \"lowering\" mechanisms, profits reach new heights. The purpose of a company’s operations is to generate profits. In 2021, the company focused on \"expanding revenue\" through open-source strategies to boost profits, while simultaneously working to reduce costs through measures to cut expenses, thus pursuing an effective approach to cutting costs and increasing earnings. Insist on finding paths and making breakthroughs through \"open source\". Planning to build the “Olefin Separation and Exhaust Gas Recovery” project can generate an additional income of around 20 million yuan per year ； “The “Comprehensive Utilization of Fine Slag” project enables the extraction of approximately 50,000 tons of refined coal per year ； “The “steam pipeline differential pressure power generation” project can generate approximately 120 million kWh of electricity per year. A Management Method for the Receiving of New Spare Parts and Materials and the Handover of Old Ones was established; a \"valueless factory\" function was created within ERP to enable management of materials throughout their \"full life cycle\", resulting in economic savings of 4 million yuan and opening up new avenues for improving efficiency. Insist on focusing on minor gains while neglecting the bigger ones. The production organization system established standards for deviations in production consumption, conducted daily cost analysis, and the key consumption indicators showed a steady decline. In 2021, the company’s overall energy consumption dropped to 2,687 kilograms of standard coal per ton, representing the best level since the plant began operations. By focusing on the key factors that lead to increased production costs—such as adjusting nitrogen usage, implementing staggered electricity consumption, recycling existing materials and upgrading technologies, promoting self-maintenance activities, and using domestically produced spare parts—annual cost savings of around 23.94 million yuan can be achieved.
