Foundation-laying ceremony for Zhejiang Julong Petrochemical’s 450,000-ton propylene project

Should it be propane dehydrogenation or imported methanol for DMTO?

Zhejiang Julong Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Julong Petrochemical) is an independent legal entity established with investment from Zhejiang Changjiang Energy Development Co., Ltd. The company is located in the Dushangang Chemical Industrial Park in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province. This park is situated in a strategic location at the heart of the Yangtze River Delta, boasting excellent geographical advantages: it has convenient transportation links and urban support behind it, as well as deep-water ports for maritime transportation ahead. There is also ample land available within the park for the development of industrial enterprises, making it an excellent location for investment and business establishment. 　　Polylong Petrochemical’s corporate development strategy is to take advantage of the shortage of propylene, a fundamental raw material in China’s chemical industry, as well as the strong market demand for this substance. The company will adopt advanced production technologies that feature high added value, low energy consumption, low emissions, and are environmentally friendly. It will introduce the world’s most cutting-edge technology for producing propylene from propane, and build a production facility in Dushan Port Area capable of producing 1.2 million tons of propylene per year, along with related downstream products. The total investment in this project is approximately 4.5 billion yuan (excluding the costs associated with downstream projects), with an overall industrial output value of over 13.3 billion yuan. The project is to be carried out in two phases: the first phase will involve the production of 450,000 tons of propylene per year, with an investment of 1.629 billion yuan, an output value of over 5 billion yuan, and tax revenues of around 450 million yuan ； The second phase has an annual production capacity of 750,000 tons of propylene, with a total investment of 2.85 billion yuan; the output value exceeds 8.3 billion yuan, and the tax revenue amounts to around 800 million yuan. We will strive to turn Julong Petrochemical into a modern enterprise for the production of propylene, and by then it will rank among the benchmark companies in Zhejiang Province’s chemical industry, becoming an internationally renowned and nationally famous supplier of propylene. 　　The first phase of the Julong Petrochemical project, with an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons of propylene, has seen the approval for site selection, issuance of construction permits, project registration, acquisition of land for construction, signing of a patent agreement with the American company UOP for propylene production via propane dehydrogenation, as well as contracts with domestic construction firms. International procurement contracts for long-term-use equipment were also established. The filling of the land and the construction of surrounding walls were carried out. The project’s foundation-laying ceremony took place on August 26, 2011, and trial production began in the first quarter of 2013. The feasibility study for the construction of the second phase, which will have an annual production capacity of 750,000 tons of propylene along with downstream products, has been completed, with the goal of bringing it online by the end of 2014. 　　Julong Petrochemical will adhere to the corporate philosophy for building its workforce, which is \"To gather talent in the petrochemical field, promote a culture of harmony, leverage the strength of a unified team, and achieve first-class results.\" In line with the needs of the company’s long-term development, it has hired over 40 professionals in the petrochemical industry at high salaries; among them, 15 hold senior engineer titles. The company has also appointed well-known petrochemical experts from China as advisors for its long-term development. We believe that thanks to the favorable investment environment in the Pinghu Dushan Port Area, the local authorities’ attention and support, as well as the high-quality services provided by various departments, Julong Petrochemical has the confidence, determination, and capability to achieve its established goals for growth and development, and to make our due contribution to the local economic and social progress.

Reply 2# douglas: China now also has industrial-scale propane dehydrogenation plants, although the technology comes from UOP!

Who knows what uses there are for the propylene they produce?

In 2 to 3 years, private enterprises will be able to engage in large-scale chemical manufacturing, a field previously reserved only for traditional large state-owned enterprises, and by then two major competitive camps will emerge. It will be clear in another 3 years...

Was the air separation unit provided by that company?

Could someone explain in detail its manufacturing technology?
