Ten years of rapid development in chemical technology – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with you here; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions. The fragrance of rice flowers in August ------------------------------------------- Recently, Daqing Petrochemical’s POE testing facility has completed the entire production process. Daqing Petrochemical will accelerate efforts in scientific and technological research, break through key core technologies, overcome foreign monopolies, and achieve a high level of self-reliance and strength in science and technology. By combining its independently developed technologies for the flexible production of 1-hexene/1-octene and the preparation of metallocene catalysts, it strives to create a complete industrial chain for ethylene-octene-POE elastomers, thereby gaining cost and technical advantages. The commissioning of the POE testing facility represents a concrete effort by CNPC to accelerate technological innovation and become a leader in the production of high-quality products. It is CNPC’s first testing facility of this kind with a capacity of thousands of tons, and it breaks the foreign monopoly in the field of polyolefin elastomer production technology. As early as August 30, 2021, Daqing Petrochemical Company completed the construction of China’s first industrial pilot plant for 1-octene synthesis with a capacity of 3,000 tons, delivering it on schedule. Following the success of the industrial trials, a set of technical processes at the 10,000-ton scale with independent intellectual property rights will be developed, filling the gap in domestic production technology for 1-octene. This project is carried out through the renovation and expansion of a 5,000-ton/year 1-hexene production facility; once the industrial trials are successful, it will be possible to flexibly switch between producing 5,000 tons/year of 1-hexene, 2,500 tons/year of 1-octene, and 1,300 tons of decene along with 2,500 tons/year of 1-hexene. The products are primarily used as high-end polyethylene comonomers and raw materials for premium synthetic lubricant base oils.
