The 500,000-ton/year deep processing project for light hydrocarbons at Tongxin in Qingyang, Gansu Province has officially commenced
Thread Content
It was recently reported that the construction work on the utility facilities for Tongxin’s 500,000 tons per year light hydrocarbon deep processing project in Qingyang, Gansu, has officially begun. The project is located in the Petroleum, Natural Gas and Chemical Industry Zone of Xifeng Industrial Park in Qingyang City, Gansu Province. It has been designated as a key construction project by Gansu Province. In line with the major strategic decisions regarding \"green industrial development\" and industrial upgrading, the project utilizes clean resources such as low-efficiency liquefied gas, mixed hydrocarbons, and ethylene as raw materials for further processing, with the aim of developing C3 and C4 industrial chains. The 1,4-butanediol plant is a crucial component of the entire light hydrocarbon deep processing project; it takes in the products from the maleic anhydride plant for further processing, and supplies important raw materials for PBS new materials downstream. The project is located in Xifeng Industrial Park, Qingyang City, Gansu Province. It uses liquefied gas and mixed hydrocarbons from the Changqing Oil Field and the petrochemical enterprises in the surrounding area of Qingyang as raw materials to develop C3 and C4 industrial chains, with primary production of products such as propylene, BDO, furan, and MTBE. Upon completion, the project will further elevate the regional industrial level and boost local economic development. It will also reduce environmental pollution, improve resource utilization efficiency, promote the optimization and upgrading of the regional industrial structure, and enable green and sustainable economic growth in the area. Additionally, it will contribute to the high-quality development of Qingyang City’s modern integrated energy and chemical industry. Qingyang Tongxin chooses CATOFIN technology. On June 12, 2024, Qingyang Tongxin selected Lumar’s CATOFIN technology for its newly built dehydrogenation facility in Qingyang City, Gansu Province. The scope of this contract includes technical licensing and process package design, as well as training and technical consulting services. Once completed, the facility will be able to process 300,000 tons per year of a propane and isobutane mixture feedstock of C3/iC4.
