Sichuan Nengtou’s 1-million-ton-per-year PTA plant was brought online successfully on its first attempt. At 13:58 on May 21, 2019, Sichuan Nengtou Chemical New Materials Company began feeding chemicals into the PTA plant, and PTA products were produced at 17:30 on the 22nd, marking the successful commissioning of this 1-million-ton-per-year PTA plant in Nanchong operated by Sichuan Nengtou Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd. The successful commissioning of the PTA project has laid a solid foundation for the transformation and development of the chemical sector within Nengtou Group, as well as for the growth of Nanchong Chemical Industrial Park. Peng Qinghua, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, gave full approval to this project and urged Sichuan Nengtou to expedite research into the development of the downstream industrial chain. Governor Yin Li also congratulated the PTA project on the successful commissioning of its plant on the first attempt.
It is reported that on September 21, 2018, Sichuan Nengtou signed a \"five-party agreement\" with Nanchong City **, Sichuan Petrochemical, China National Chemical Corporation, and Southwest Sales Company. The PTA project is operated and managed by Sichuan Nengtou through leasing the production facility with an annual capacity of one million tons located in the Nanchong Chemical Industrial Park, which belongs to China National Chemical Corporation. Sichuan Nengtou dispatched a management team to establish Sichuan Nengtou Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd. After an 8-month period of hard work, more than 6,500 residual rectification tasks were completed. Various departments were organized to carry out the \"three inspections and four determinations\" process, operation procedures and a comprehensive commissioning plan were prepared, and a PSSR safety review was conducted prior to startup. With the assistance of Sichuan Petrochemical, Shengda Company, and Nengtou’s various units, as well as the guidance of the technology transfer party Yingweida Company and Hengli Petrochemical’s commissioning team, all efforts were made to advance the preparations for the pilot production of the Nanchong PTA project. Ultimately, successful startup was achieved, and the plant is expected to operate at full capacity by June.
It’s an old project that has gone through many years of construction, with many ups and downs, but it was finally successful in being put into operation – congratulations.
Where do the upstream raw materials come from? Sichuan Petrochemical
It is said that this is a packaging project by Sichuan Petrochemical, intended to replace the historically significant Nanchong Refinery
The upstream raw material PX is supplied by Sichuan Petrochemical. However, this project was invested in in 2011 primarily by Sinochem, with Chengda Research Institute playing a key role (after all, what kind of production and operation work can an engineering company specializing in chemical design do?) ), 8 years of construction (even the Japanese invaders were driven away), but progress has been slow due to environmental concerns and profit issues.
It is said to be operated on a rental basis, which seems rather informal. I hope there are no safety issues.
Aren’t they trying to make a transition? The engineering field is also full of instability, with periods of plenty and scarcity
Could this lead to vehicles speeding up in an effort to achieve short-term results, thereby undermining the need for long-term management of the operation of equipment and systems?
