Thread Content

Sinopec’s first high-temperature synthetic heat transfer oil production facility came online. Recently, the project for the development and industrial application of high-temperature synthetic heat transfer oils, developed independently by Sinopec, was successfully put into operation at Jingmen Petrochemical after more than half a year of construction, marking another major project aimed at transforming the operations of Jingmen Petrochemical from those involving conventional oils to those using special types of oils. This will undoubtedly contribute to the sustainable development of Jingmen Petrochemical through such a specialized transformation. This project is Sinopec’s first high-temperature synthetic heat transfer oil project. High-temperature heat transfer oil can meet the heat transfer requirements at temperatures of 350 degrees Celsius and below; it boasts energy-saving and environmental-friendly properties. It is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, chemical fibers, papermaking, textiles, food processing, and new energy storage, and its technologies and products have broken foreign monopolies. During the project construction and commencement phase, the Refining Division coordinated efforts through various channels and dispatched experts to the site to oversee the start of operations. The technology R&D unit, the Shanghai Research Institute of Petrochemical Technology, and the design unit shall carry out the engineering conversion of the process package to address the challenges associated with such conversion. During the commissioning phase, all operational procedures are strictly followed, and each step of the process is carefully monitored to ensure the safe and smooth commissioning of the project.
