Is there any residue hydrocracking in China at present?
Thread Content
Currently, in China, most residue hydrogenation processes involve depth refining; as a feedstock for heavy oil catalysis, fixed-bed reactors are generally used. But I’m not sure if there is residue hydrocracking; it seems to exist abroad, but I’m not aware if it’s available in China ? Which company’s technology is generally used? ?
There are a few such facilities in the country already; we are building one as well. To be precise, it should be a hydrotreating unit for residue and wax oil, and there is one already in operation next to us
Does the Victory Refinery not have a hydrodesulfurization and hydrocracking unit for vacuum residue?
You are referring to Sinopec Shengli Petrochemical Complex. This plant is quite close to us; how come I’ve never heard of it?
The residue hydrogenation units that have already been put into operation in the vicinity of Dongying are all fixed-bed residue hydrogenation units, and they are used to provide raw materials for heavy oil catalysis! One is Shenchí, and the other is Lihuayi
What is the difference between residue hydrogenation and hydrocracking? I went around to inspect the devices; they all looked very similar. The technician said that the equipment had thick walls, several hundred millimeters thick
Jinling Petrochemical has a 50,000-ton fluidized-bed residue hydrocracking unit, which is based on proprietary technology developed by Fuyan Research Institute.
I think so; as far as I remember, Shandong’s local refineries have this
There are plenty of them in the country; take a look at the achievements of the Fushun Research Institute (now known as the Dalian Institute)
