[Ten years of major development in chemical equipment] 1254-2023 PetroChina’s first set of 1-hexene unit with an annual output of 50,000 tons with its own technology

Thread Content

Looking at the ten years of development of chemical technology, we praise the prosperity and strength of China in the prosperous age. It is more lively and more exciting with everyone's participation. [Ten Years of Development of Chemical Equipment] Continue to update summary posts, welcome to participate in the discussion https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html Prevention first, life first -------------------------------------------------- On November 15, 2023, the 50,000 tons/year 1-hexene unit in the Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integrated Transformation and Upgrading Project officially started construction. This device is PetroChina's first 1-hexene device with an annual output of 50,000 tons. Once put into operation, it will further consolidate my country's position in the petrochemical industry. The device adopts the ethylene trimerization to 1-hexene process technology developed by the Daqing Chemical Research Center of the Petrochemical Research Institute with independent intellectual property rights. This technology once broke the long-term technology monopoly of foreign countries, filled the gap in China Petroleum's production technology of this type of product, and won the China Petroleum Science and Technology Progress Special Award. 1-Hexene is a core raw material for manufacturing high-performance plastic products. It is also an important raw material for the production of fine chemical products such as high-grade lubricants, plasticizers, and surfactants. As a high value-added chemical raw material and intermediate, this product can significantly improve the mechanical and optical properties of polyethylene products, making them more flexible and tear-resistant, with superior tensile strength and impact resistance. It plays an irreplaceable role in the upgrading of the polyolefin industry. The device is constructed by Daqing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. and is scheduled to be delivered in March 2025.
