What is the total national production of MTBE, and what is the production volume of each petrochemical company?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, what is the total national production of MTBE, and what is the production volume of each petrochemical company?
There are over 40 such facilities across the country, with a total production capacity of around 1.8 million tons. Daqing Refining & Chemical Company has a designed production capacity of 140,000 tons per year (Petroleum Chemistry Applications, Issue 1, 2007). Nanjing Yangzi Petrochemical Refining Co., Ltd. currently has a production capacity of 40,000 tons per year. Projects under construction with a capacity of 58,000 tons per year: CNPC Dalian Petrochemical Company – 9; Sinopec Maoming Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. – 9; CNPC Daqing Refining & Chemical Company – 16; Sinopec Qilu Petrochemical Co., Ltd. – 6; CNPC Fushun Petrochemical Company – 7; Sinopec Shanghai Gaqiao Branch – 6; Sinopec Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Co., Ltd. – 15; Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. – 8; Sinopec Guangzhou Branch – 6; Shaanxi Yanlian – 6; Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. – 7.3; Dongming Petrochemical – 3; Sinopec Jinling Branch – 6; Shandong Huayu – 5.

I’ve gained some knowledge, but I wonder if the amount of MTBE will keep decreasing
In 2009, a 110,000-ton MTBE plant was put into operation in Zhenhai
By 2006, the production capacity of MTBE plants that were in operation or under construction in China reached 2.5 million tons per year. Table 1-2 Production Capacity of MTBE Plants in China (10,000 tons/year)

That won’t happen; the requirements for gasoline quality are getting higher and higher, and the chemical industry’s demand for aromatics is also increasing.
