【Ten Years of Great Progress in Chemical Technology】082 – Performance evaluation completed for China’s largest 200,000 tons/year gas cracking furnace from 2008 to 2016
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. ********************************************* On July 21, 2016, the largest gas cracking furnace in China, with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year, completed its performance evaluation. This gas cracking furnace, whose intellectual property rights belong entirely to Sinopec, has been operating steadily at Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Plant for 30 days. This marks another improvement in the quality of China’s independent innovation capabilities in the field of large-scale ethylene production, adding further value to China’s reputation in terms of refining technologies.
The cracking furnace is the key facility and core equipment for producing ethylene. The commissioning of Zhenhai Refining & Chemical’s 200,000 tons per year gas cracking unit has not only increased the production capacity of the ethylene plant by 10%, but it has also provided greater opportunities for optimizing raw materials and more flexible methods, thereby raising the overall competitiveness of ethylene production to a new level. The gas pyrolysis furnace utilizes Sinopec’s own CBL pyrolysis technology, and features four innovative advantages: the largest scale, the ability to process both gas and liquid materials, a dual-chamber design, and environmentally friendly technology.
