Guangdong Petrochemical’s 400,000 tons per year high-density polyethylene plant has a total investment of 1.05 billion yuan and covers an area of 48,430 square meters. The plant utilizes the Hostalen ACP low-pressure slurry process technology developed by Lyondellbasell in Germany, with hexane as the solvent. Under the action of a catalyst, the raw materials undergo polymerization reactions, enabling the production of both single-peak and multi-peak high-density polyethylene products. Construction of the facility officially began in September 2020. The actual workload included 200,000 inches of process piping welding, 280 pieces of equipment, 12 complete unit systems, 267 kilometers of electrical cables, 400 kilometers of instrument cables, 23,000 cubic meters of concrete pouring, and 5,400 tons of steel structure installation. On June 28, the 400,000-ton/year high-density polyethylene plant built by Global Company in Guangdong Petrochemical was successfully delivered; it is currently the highest-capacity mixed-material high-density polyethylene plant in China. To date, all three polyolefin units of Guangdong Petrochemical’s integration project have been fully handed over.
