On December 9, with the pouring of the first pile for the civil engineering works of the main plant of the project, the renovation project at Yizheng Chemical Fibers to increase annual production capacity by 500,000 tons using a new generation of preforms officially commenced. This marks a new step forward in Yizheng Chemical Fibers’ efforts to accelerate the transition of its industrial structure toward greener and lower-carbon practices, as well as its pursuit of becoming a model base for the downstream aromatic chemicals industry within Sinopec. The project utilizes independently developed technologies, which represent the technical expertise accumulated by Yizheng Chemical Fibers over more than 40 years in the polyester industry. By making full use of its own supporting utility facilities, the project’s indicators regarding energy consumption, material usage, and carbon emissions are among the best in China. The project is expected to be completed and put into operation in the first half of 2024.
