Latest project: At the end of April, a public announcement was made regarding the status of acceptance of the environmental impact assessment documents for Xinpǔ Chemical (Taixing) Co., Ltd.’s project aimed at producing 800,000 tons of propylene per year through propane dehydrogenation. The project plans to construct a propane dehydrogenation to propylene plant, which will include equipment such as reactors, compressors, heat exchangers, feed heating furnaces, deethanization towers, and propylene separation towers, along with the accompanying utility systems, storage and transportation facilities, and environmental protection systems. It also includes the pipeline networks and ductwork that connect the project to the existing plant area of Xinpu Chemical Company and its olefin plant area. On March 31, Rums Technology Company announced that it had been awarded the integrated technical solution project from Sinpu Chemical. Xinpu Chemical has chosen Ruums’ CATOFIN technology for its new 800,000-ton/year propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant, and Ruums’ Novolen technology for its new 400,000-ton/year polypropylene (PP) plant; both plants are located in Jiangsu Province, China. Rums Technology Company is a renowned international engineering firm that relies on patents and proprietary technologies to provide end-to-end solutions for the oil, gas, refining, and petrochemical industries. It offers a wide range of services including process technology, engineering design, procurement, construction, and project management, as well as catalyst systems. Xinpu Chemical (Taixing) Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Xinpu Chemical Pte. Ltd. It was established on December 30, 1995. Its main products include caustic soda, liquid chlorine, hydrogen, vinyl chloride, dichloroethane, styrene, ethylene, propylene, etc., which are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, textiles, papermaking, consumer goods, plastic products, rubber products, dyes, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and protective equipment. After several expansions and developments, it now has an ion-exchange membrane caustic soda plant with an annual production capacity of 750,000 tons, a vinyl chloride plant with an annual capacity of 900,000 tons, a styrene plant with an annual capacity of 320,000 tons, an ethylene plant with an annual capacity of 650,000 tons, a propylene cracking plant with an annual capacity of 120,000 tons, as well as its own thermal power plant. Upon completion, the project will have an annual production capacity of 800,000 tons of propylene, 24,808 tons of C4, and 7,249 tons of C5+ components.
