Construction begins on China’s largest EVA production facility, built by Shijian Company On September 16, the 300,000-ton/year EVA (ethylene acetate, vinyl resin) production facility as part of the Gulei refining and chemical integration project, which is being constructed by Shijian Company, began construction successfully, marking the entry into the construction phase of China’s largest EVA production facility to date. It is understood that the 300,000 tons per year EVA production unit of the Gulei refining and chemical integration project was under the general contract of Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Company, with Shijian Company carrying out the construction work; completion of this project is expected by August 28, 2021. During the construction over the past two years, Shijian Company was primarily responsible for the construction and installation work related to the EVA plant. It completed tasks such as installing 286 pieces of equipment, welding process pipelines with a total length of 150,000 inches, constructing steel structures weighing 2,900 tons, installing 1,764 units of electrical and instrumentation equipment, and laying 736 kilometers of cables for electrical and instrumentation purposes. The 300,000 tons per year EVA plant is another key facility to come online as part of Shijian Company’s Gulei refining and chemical integration project, following the commissioning of facilities such as the 800,000 tons per year steam cracking plant and the 600,000 tons per year styrene plant. At the commencement ceremony, the person in charge of Gulei Refining and Chemical Integration Project at Shijian Company said that the most skilled construction team would be mobilized to meet all the construction milestones for the EVA plant in a safe, high-quality, efficient manner and on schedule, adhering to the highest construction standards.
