Total investment is 22 billion! Dongming Petrochemical’s 300,000-ton UPC project adopts the first direct super catalytic cracking of crude oil to produce olefins technology!

Thread Content

It is reported that the UPC technology jointly developed by Dongming Petrochemical and China University of Petroleum is the world's first and internationally leading technology, and has successfully passed the appraisal by an expert group composed of three academicians. The 300,000-ton UPC project is a high-end manufacturing project with the largest single investment in local history and is promoted by the whole province. It is very important for its implementation. * * The ecological protection and high-quality development strategy of the Yellow River Basin has a major demonstration role. The world's first UPC new technology was approved. On July 12, 2022, as the "backbone" of local brands in Shandong's refining and chemical industry, Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group and China University of Petroleum (East China), * * The key laboratories jointly successfully developed a "complete set of technology for direct super catalytic cracking of crude oil to produce olefins (UPC technology for short)", steadily competing for high-end technology. Deputy Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference * Zhang Xinwen, Secretary of the Heze Municipal Party Committee, said, "The UPC project has made significant substantial progress and is expected to become one of the largest high-end manufacturing projects in Shandong Province." The technology has been verified by industrial trials and has the advantages of low energy consumption, high yield, and short process. Through the technical appraisal participated by three academicians and ten well-known industry experts, the technical level has reached an internationally leading level, and it has the conditions to build industrialized equipment. Compared with the traditional "refining and chemical integration" process, the production of ethylene of the same scale can reduce crude oil consumption by about 60%. Why is Dongming Petrochemical actively promoting UPC technology? To thoroughly implement the * party * spirit, and work together to promote "high-quality development" in 2023“ * * ”During the period, the representative of the 14th Renmin Congress, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Dongming Petrochemical Group * Li Xiangping brought suggestions on "accelerating the promotion and application of crude oil cracking to olefins (UPC) technology demonstration projects", including "suggestions * * The National Development and Reform Commission has deployed and promoted UPC technology in Shandong and took the lead in building the world's first 2×1 million tons/year UPC industrialized device in Dongming Petrochemical Industrial Park. Strive to include the UPC technology demonstration device in the "Petrochemical Planning and Layout Plan (Revised Edition)", practice the representative responsibilities, and actively provide suggestions. Generally speaking, olefins generally refer to low-carbon olefins such as ethylene and propylene. This product plays an important role in the petrochemical industry chain. With the rapid development of my country's olefin downstream industry, the domestic demand for olefins is increasing, and the product gap is relatively obvious. At present, olefins are mainly produced through three traditional process routes:: The first is naphtha to olefins, the second is coal to olefins, and the third is propane dehydrogenation to olefins (PDH), but they all have problems such as high production costs, long processes, numerous and cumbersome devices. In terms of UPC technology, Dongming Petrochemical has completed the process from "laboratory", "small trial", "pilot trial" to "50,000 tons industrial trial" and achieved good results. On December 7 last year, Dongming Petrochemical's 300,000 tons/year UPC technology test project with a total investment of 22 billion yuan held a groundbreaking ceremony. The project plans to use UPC technology. After completion, it can realize the direct conversion of crude oil into chemicals. Compared with the traditional "refining and chemical integration" process, the production of ethylene of the same scale can reduce crude oil consumption by about 60%. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Zhang Xinwen pointed out, “UPC technology has passed * * It is determined that the technology content is high and it is the most cutting-edge technology in the petrochemical industry. It is hoped that Dongming Petrochemical will make every effort to speed up the project construction and strive to complete the project early, put it into production early, and achieve early results.” ； Li Xiangping introduced that UPC technology represents the most cutting-edge technology in the world's petrochemical industry, and its advanced nature can be summarized as "four highs and four lows", that is,: High technical level, high catalytic activity, high chemical yield and high economic benefits ； There are fewer technological processes, less investment costs, less energy consumption and less carbon emissions. “The promotion and application of UPC technology can not only meet domestic demand for high-end chemical raw materials, but also solve the problem of excess refined oil products. It can significantly enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of my country's petrochemical industry and effectively alleviate the pressure on my country's crude oil imports." Dongming Petrochemical will take the foundation laying of this project as an opportunity to mobilize the strength and wisdom of all employees, work hard and move forward courageously, and strive to write a new chapter of "coming from behind" for Heze City, Shandong Province and hand in Dongming Petrochemical's full score. At present, the overall production capacity of the Dongming base is 7.5 million tons. Together with Xinhai Petrochemical located in Jiangsu, the total production capacity has exceeded 10 million tons. With a refining capacity of tens of millions of tons, Dongming Petrochemical has become a giant in the refining and chemical industry. Driven by the high-end petrochemical industry, Dongming's economy has shown a comprehensive recovery and accelerated development trend. In the first four months of this year, the county's total tax revenue and total industrial volume above designated size ranked first in Heze, Shandong Province, and its total import and export accounted for more than half of the local total. Shandong Dongming Petrochemical Group has been deeply involved in the petrochemical field for more than 30 years since its establishment. At present, the company has formed a sales revenue of 100 billion yuan, an annual processing capacity of 10 million tons (crude oil) and a profit and tax contribution of 20 billion yuan. It ranks 201st among the top 500 Chinese companies in 2022. Dongming Petrochemical has grown from a "small refinery" to the industry leader in the province, and has accomplished two "most proud things." The first one is Luchang 2.0 high-efficiency gasoline and diesel, which was awarded the "China Well-known Trademark" certification and protection. Another one is the successful development of direct super catalytic cracking of crude oil to produce olefins technology, namely UPC technology, jointly with China University of Petroleum.
