On April 10, 2022, the ethylbenzene unit of the POSM plant in Tianjin Bohua’s \"dual transformation\" project successfully completed its commissioning trial run; the plant operated steadily and produced qualified ethylbenzene, laying the foundation for the operation of downstream units. This marked another significant step forward in the process of full-scale operation of the project. Tianjin Bohua’s project for the relocation and transformation in line with the principles of industrialization and modernization is a major decision taken by the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Government to build a \"beautiful and safe Tianjin,\" to optimize the layout of the city’s petrochemical industry, to mitigate risks related to safety and stability, and to achieve energy savings, emission reductions, and environmental improvements. This project is a practical implementation of the **\"dual carbon\" policy; it will facilitate the planning of the petrochemical industry as well as the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It aims to turn the Tianjin Nangang Industrial Zone into a world-class petrochemical hub, serving as a \"model\" for the relocation and transformation of hazardous chemical enterprises in densely populated urban areas across the country. As an important link in the industrial chain for the relocation associated with the integration of industry and information technology, the POSM plant produces 200,000 tons of propylene oxide per year, along with 450,000 tons of styrene monomer; these products are widely used in fields such as fine chemicals and polymer materials ； The patented technology used for the ethylbenzene unit offers significant advantages over traditional technologies, including high product yield, stable operation control, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness.
