[Ocean Chemical News] Jilin Petrochemical plans to invest 1.3 billion to build a 200,000 tons/year propylene project?

1. Project construction address: Jilin Province:Jilin City_Longtan District 2. Project content: The planned construction scale is to produce 200,000 tons of propylene per year, with an annual operating hours of 8,000 hours. After the implementation of this project, the output of finished propylene will be 221,100 tons per year, the device will have a total of about 261 sets of process equipment, and the new construction area will be 41,471 square meters.

On January 2, 2020, a report from Jilin Daily stated that to accelerate the transformation of the refining business from "fuel-based" to "material-based", Jilin Petrochemical is making every effort to implement refining structure adjustments, 800,000 tons/year ethylene expansion and expansion unit, and supporting engineering project construction. A feasibility study report has been prepared and submitted to China Petroleum Refining and Chemical Branch for approval. On January 6, 2020, Wang Mo, Director of the Environmental Impact Assessment Division of the Jilin Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, and a group of seven people went to Jilin Petrochemical Company to handle the environmental impact assessment related work of the "Refining and Chemical Transformation and Upgrading Project" (also known as the 800,000-ton ethylene project). They conducted on-site research and solved the project environmental impact assessment constraints and difficulties raised by the construction unit and the environmental assessment unit. Jilin on January 9, 2020 * * According to a report on the website of the High-tech Industrial Development Zone Management Committee, Jilin Petrochemical will coordinate the implementation of four major projects, including the refining and chemical transformation and upgrading project and the refining and chemical industry chain extension project, with an estimated investment of nearly 40 billion yuan. On January 12, 2020, at the third meeting of the 13th People’s Congress of Jilin Province, Governor Jing Junhai delivered the “Jilin Province * * "Work Report" mentioned that Jilin Chemical Company's 800,000-ton ethylene expansion and supporting projects with a total investment of 40 billion yuan have started. January 22, 2020, Longtan District, Jilin City * * The website released the "Public Participation Disclosure Information on Social Stability Risk Analysis of the Refinery and Chemical Transformation and Upgrading Project of PetroChina Jilin Petrochemical Company". Public information shows that PetroChina Jilin Petrochemical Company's refining and chemical transformation and upgrading project is divided into a refining part and a chemical part. The refining part includes a new 2.4 million tons/year residual oil hydrogenation and a 2 million tons/year wax oil hydrocracking (including 200,000 tons). /year naphtha normal isomerization), 200,000 tons/year C2 recovery, 20,000 tons/year sulfur recovery and other main units. At the same time, it is necessary to adapt the original I and II atmospheric and vacuum pressures to adapt the 900,000 tons/year hydrocracking unit to a diesel hydrotreating unit. ； The chemical industry includes an 800,000-ton/year ethylene unit (including a 750,000-ton/year pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit), a 300,000-ton/year high-density polyethylene unit, a 300,000-ton/year ethylene oxide unit, a 320,000-ton/year styrene unit, and a 130,000-ton/year propylene plant. Acrylonitrile unit, 400,000 tons/year ABS unit, 220,000 tons/year tar gas generation unit, 120,000 tons/year butadiene extraction unit, 60,000 tons/year MTBE, 40,000 tons/year butene-1 unit and the current 300,000 tons/year aromatics extraction unit reconstruction. The existing 150,000 tons/year ethylene unit will be shut down, and the existing cracked gasoline hydrogenation unit will be shut down. The cracked gasoline from the existing ethylene unit will be sent to the project's new 750,000 tons/year cracked gasoline hydrogenation unit for processing. February 24, 2020, China * * "Competitive consultation and bidding for 800,000 tons of ethylene project occupied by state-owned forest land by PetroChina Jilin Chemical" was posted on the procurement website. On February 25, the Jilin Meteorological Bureau website released a piece of news titled "Jilin Municipal Bureau Launches Climate Feasibility Demonstration for Resuming Work on an 800,000-Ton Ethylene Project." According to reports, the project is to revitalize the old industrial base in Northeast China. * * Level key project aims to optimize the overall refining process with the goal of reducing the output of refined oil, lowering the ratio of diesel to gasoline, and increasing the production of high-quality chemical raw materials, achieving "reducing oil and increasing chemicals" and laying the foundation for the overall transformation and upgrading of Jilin Petrochemical's refining and chemical industry. On February 21, 2020, the "Key Points of Industrial and Information Technology Work in Jilin Province in 2020" released by the Jilin Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology mentioned that it will support Jilin Chemical Company to implement the transformation and upgrading of high-quality development strategies, and fully promote the early start of construction of major projects such as 800,000 tons of ethylene and 600,000 tons of ABS.

On June 3, 2019, Tianyuan Petrochemical's 100,000 tons/year catalytic propylene unit, constructed by Sinopec Fourth Construction Company, successfully produced qualified products, marking that the entire process of the unit was completed and entered the trial production stage. According to reports, the construction of this device was undertaken by Fourth Construction Company, and the handover of the device was completed on March 15. After taking measures such as steam purging, water combined transportation, trial operation of large units, instrument interlocking debugging, drying lining of the reverse system, catalyst filling, three inspections and four determinations for rectification, it was ready to start construction on May 28. Tianyuan Petrochemical strictly follows the construction start procedures, formulates careful coordination, and connects internal and external construction conditions. On May 28, more than 30 process equipment experts and operating backbones from the Design Institute, Sinopec, Maohua Shihua and other units were also in place. After repeated conditions confirmation, the start-up headquarters ignited the auxiliary combustion chamber at 8:18 a.m. on May 28, officially entering the start-up procedure. Through the concerted efforts of all employees, continuous operations, careful organization, careful coordination, and a lot of meticulous work in many aspects, the company was put into production and successfully produced qualified products. Tianyuan Petrochemical's 100,000 tons/year propylene project was designed by Shanghai Hetu Design Institute and supervised by Huaxia Petrochemical Engineering Supervision Company. The total investment budget is 1.68 billion yuan. Construction started on September 28, 2016. Currently, 100% of the investment has been completed. The project (Phase I) went into trial production on August 22, 2018. ； The construction of the project (Phase II) has been completed, and the construction of railway coordination and logistics facilities of the Project (Phase III) has started. The total investment is 150 million yuan and is expected to be completed in June 2019. ； The project (Phase 4) of fine chemical equipment is under construction and will extend to the downstream industries of new materials and fine chemicals, increasing investment in science and technology to develop high-tech materials. After all the equipment is put into operation, it will achieve an annual output value of 10 billion yuan and contribute to the economy of Maoming City.

This is to produce more propylene directly from oil refining. It seems that the capacity expansion of Jilin Chemical's ethylene plant has reached a bottleneck. Just install a million-ton ethylene set. It would be pointless to change the ten-small cracking furnace.
