[Haichuan Chemical Salary News] Construction of the 800,000 tons/year ethylene glycol plant at Sinopec Zhenhai Base (Phase I) has begun
Thread Content
With a total investment of 50 billion yuan, the construction of the 800,000-ton-per-year ethylene glycol plant at Sinopec Zhenhai Base (Phase I) began on March 28, 2020. This project, for which Shanghai Engineering Corporation was responsible for the EPC contract, saw the start of its construction work.
The 800,000 tons per year ethylene glycol plant is one of the chemical units in Sinopec Zhenhai Base (Phase I), which includes a 15 million tons per year oil refining facility and a 1.2 million tons per year ethylene production facility (the ethylene part). This project involves the construction of a new EO/EG plant, including production units and auxiliary facilities, which mainly consists of the EO/EG plant area and the EO storage and transportation system area. The plant uses the SHELL MASTER EO/EG process package provided by Shell, with the process technology involving the oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide. According to the project construction schedule: work commenced on site on March 28, 2020, with the detailed design to be completed by December 31, 2020 ； On December 28, 2021, the facility was completed by CCCC. The 800,000 tons per year ethylene glycol production facility at Sinopec Zhenhai Base (Phase I) is the first new project to begin construction by Shanghai Engineering Company this year. The start of this project reflects Shanghai Engineering Company’s active response to the group’s directives, as it takes practical actions to carry out the 100-day campaign aimed at achieving efficiency improvements, thereby laying a solid foundation for meeting the annual targets.
Sinopec Ningbo Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. has invested 50 billion yuan to expand a refinery with an annual processing capacity of 15 million tons, as well as a plant for producing ethylene with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons. As part of this expansion, 11 new production units are planned to be built, including ones for the production of 1.2 million tons per year of ethylene cracking products, 800,000 tons per year of ethylene glycol, and 360,000/800,000 tons per year of propylene oxide/styrene (PO/SM) products； As well as approximately 60 sub-items related to supporting utility projects and auxiliary works such as general layout transportation, storage and transportation, water supply and drainage, heating, power supply, telecommunications, environmental protection, and production management. Zhenhai Refining & Chemical currently has a refining capacity of 23 million tons per year and an ethylene production capacity of 1 million tons per year. Together with a deep-water marine terminal capable of handling 45 million tons per year and storage facilities covering over 3.3 million cubic meters, these elements form an industrial framework characterized by large-scale refining, large-scale ethylene production, large-scale terminals, and large-scale storage facilities. In 2011, the company processed 21.978 million tons of crude oil, accounting for about 5% of the country’s total ； 1.104 million tons of ethylene were produced, accounting for about 7% of the national total. As planned, upon completion, the Maozhan facility will have an annual oil refining capacity of 35 million tons and an ethylene production capacity of 1.8 million tons ； The Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Complex will have a refining capacity of 33 to 38 million tons, as well as an ethylene production capacity of 1.8 to 2.2 million tons, making it the largest such complex in terms of production capacity ； The Shanghai facility will have an annual refining capacity of 26 million tons and an ethylene production capacity of 2.59 million tons ； The Nanjing facility will have an annual refining capacity of 36 million tons and an ethylene production capacity of 2.4 million tons.
