The construction progress of Jihua’s 350,000-ton phenol propionate plant has reached 90.04%! After more than a year and a half of intensive construction, as of November 11, the construction progress of the 350,000 tons per year phenol propionate production unit as part of the dye factory’s transformation project had reached 90.04%. A total of 231 sets of dynamic and static equipment, including reactors and towers, have been completed; the installation completion rate for the main equipment is 100% ； A total of 494,272 inches of process piping welding has been completed, achieving a completion rate of 95.05% ； A total of 487 pressure testing packages have been completed, achieving a completion rate of 55% ； A total of 225,266 meters of electrical cables have been laid, achieving a completion rate of 70% ； A total of 339,694 meters of instrument cable has been laid, achieving a completion rate of 75%. All construction tasks are being carried out at full speed. The newly built phenol propylcate plant utilizes cutting-edge technology; the isopropylbenzene unit employs UOP’s patented Qmax technology based on zeolite molecular sieve catalysts from the United States ； The phenol propyl unit utilizes the third-generation medium-pressure isopropylbenzene oxidation technology from UOP in the United States ； The energy consumption of the equipment and the electrification rate of end-users both reach advanced international and domestic levels. Upon completion, the project will be technologically ahead of its peers in the country. Construction on the project began on June 9, 2023, with completion expected by April 30, 2025. The refining and chemical industry transformation and upgrading project of Jilin Petrochemical Company is located in the Jilin Chemical Industry Circular Economy Demonstration Park in Jilin City. The eastern area houses the new district, the refinery, and the high-carbon alcohol plant; the central area includes the organic synthesis plant, the calcium carbide plant, the dye plant, and the fine chemicals plant; while the western area features the acrylonitrile plant, the fertilizer plant, and the synthetic resin plant. The chemical processing section will feature a new ethylene plant with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons. Downstream, facilities will be built for the hydrogenation of pyrolysis gasoline at 1 million tons per year, a combined aromatics extraction plant at 450,000 tons per year, a high-density polyethylene plant at 400,000 tons per year, an ethylene oxide plant at 300,000 tons per year, an EVA plant at 400,000 tons per year, a phenol propionate plant at 350,000 tons per year, a bisphenol A plant at 240,000 tons per year, an EPDM rubber plant at 40,000 tons per year, an MTBE/1-butene plant with capacities of 100,000/40,000 tons per year, a styrene plant at 600,000 tons per year, an acrylonitrile plant at 260,000 tons per year, an ABS plant at 600,000 tons per year, a solvent deasphalting plant at 800,000 tons per year, an asphalt gasification plant with a capacity of 160,000 tons per year, a butadiene rubber plant at 50,000 tons per year, a butadiene extraction plant at 200,000 tons per year, and an acetonitrile plant at 8,000 tons per year.
