【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Technology】Commissioning of China’s largest 2×450,000 tons/year polypropylene plants of this type from 2007 to 2023
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical technology – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with you here; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. Everyone should pay attention to safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* At 9:58 a.m. on June 9, 2023, the inauguration ceremony for the 2×450,000 tons per year polypropylene production units of the Daxie Petrochemical Integration Project was held solemnly at the project site. The 2×450,000 tons per year polypropylene plants in the Daxie Petrochemical integration project represent the largest polypropylene facilities of their kind in China at present. The project utilizes Sinopec’s third-generation loop reactor polypropylene production technology (ST-III), and the products produced include homopolymer, random copolymer, terpolymer, and impact-resistant copolymers. Once completed, Daxie Petrochemical’s polypropylene production capacity will reach 1.2 million tons per year, which will help the company strengthen its industrial foundation and develop and expand its industrial chain.
In October 2020, the Consulting Center of CNOOC Group organized an expert review meeting on the \"Feasibility Study Report for the Chemical Section of the Daxie Petrochemical Integration Project (Phase V of Distillate Oil) – 450,000 tons per year polypropylene project\" in the multi-functional hall of the CNOOC Building in Beijing. The chemical segment of the refining and chemical integration project focuses on expanding into the downstream olefin industry chain, further establishing connections between the refining and chemical sectors, and achieving the transformation goal for the refining industry: to rely on refining while moving beyond it, and to increase chemical production while controlling refining activities. The experts and representatives present listened to a presentation on the main contents of the project. After thorough discussion, the expert group concluded that the content and depth of the Feasibility Study Report are generally in line with the relevant industry guidelines; the data provided is detailed, and the choice of technical approach and plant scale is reasonable. Upon further supplementation and improvement, it can serve as a basis for proceeding with subsequent work.
Jinneng Technology’s first polypropylene plant with an annual capacity of 450,000 tons successfully carried out its first product trial production on July 27, 2021! Congratulations to Jinneng Technology! Jinneng Technology also has plans to build a polypropylene plant with an annual capacity of 1.6 million tons in the future. JinNeng Technology is a comprehensive chemical enterprise that focuses on the integrated utilization of resources and operates in an economic circular model. It was listed on the Shanghai A-share market on May 11, 2017. Based on in-depth consideration of global industrial changes and in line with the trend of shifting from old to new drivers of growth, the company has established a project for the comprehensive utilization of new materials and hydrogen energy in the Qingdao West Coast New Area. By employing world-leading processing technologies, it aims to create a unique model for resource recycling worldwide, thus ushering in a new era for the company’s development.
Phase 2 of Jinneng Technology’s Qingdao New Materials and Hydrogen Energy Comprehensive Utilization Project has been fully launched! The second-phase project includes 900,000 tons per year of propane dehydrogenation capacity, as well as 2 units with a capacity of 450,000 tons per year each for high-performance polypropylene production. Among them, two polypropylene plants utilize Basell’s SpheriPol and Spherizone process technologies respectively. At present, the Phase II project in Qingdao is in the stage of project design and tendering for equipment procurement. It is expected that the 900,000 tons per year propane dehydrogenation plant and the 450,000 tons per year high-performance polypropylene plant using the SpheriPol process technology will be completed by the end of 2023, while another 450,000 tons per year high-performance polypropylene plant utilizing the Spherizone process technology will be completed in 2024. Once the second-phase project is fully completed, Jinneng Technology will be able to produce 1.8 million tons per year of propane dehydrogenation products, 1.35 million tons per year of polypropylene, 1.5 million tons per year of coke, and 760,000 tons per year of carbon black.
