On January 9, 2026, the 1.5 million tons per year fluidized bed residue hydrogenation unit at Fuhai Chuang was successfully commissioned, producing qualified products and achieving a successful first start-up. As the core unit of Fuhai Chuang Company’s project to improve raw material adaptability, this device represents the fourth industrial application in China to utilize the internationally advanced H-Oil patent technology. This process overcomes the industry challenge of efficiently converting resins and asphaltenes in residue, involving complex operations such as gas-liquid-solid three-phase reactions and separation, as well as online catalyst replacement; moreover, the reaction conditions are stringent, making it one of the most technically challenging processes in the refining sector. Once put into operation, this facility will enable the efficient and thorough conversion of heavy residue oil resources, significantly increasing the yield of light oils. It not only addresses the issues associated with traditional refining processes, such as poor adaptability of raw materials and high coking rates, but also aligns well with the strategy of energy conservation and carbon reduction. It complements Fujian Energy & Petrochemical Group’s three core strategies of \"clean thermal power generation, green power production, and efficient energy storage,\" thereby providing strong impetus for the high-quality development of the industry. The successful operation of this facility represents a solid demonstration of Fuhai Chuangke’s commitment to driving high-quality development through innovation and overcoming challenges. It showcases the practical efforts made by Fujian Energy & Petrochemical Group in the fields of \"green energy\" and \"high-end materials\" to build a world-class energy and chemical enterprise that is sustainable, thereby injecting strong momentum into industrial upgrading. In the future, Fuhai Chuang will closely follow the group’s development strategy, focus on digitalization and green, low-carbon technologies, and enhance the efficiency of its facilities as well as the competitiveness of its products.
