On November 2, the groundbreaking ceremony for the second-phase project of Fujian Shengtong Chemical Co., Ltd. – a facility for the production of 1 million tons per year of high-purity automotive gasoline as well as 300,000 tons per year of industrial isooctane, along with the associated auxiliary infrastructure projects, was held in the Gulei Petrochemical Park. As a downstream project in the industrial chain of the Gulei Petrochemical Park, the second phase of Shengtong Chemical involves an investment of 560 million yuan, with an annual output value of around 7 billion yuan. The main construction elements include a 1 million tons per year high-purity automotive gasoline blending facility and a 300,000 tons per year industrial isooctane production facility. From planning and design to technology selection, all aspects take into account the principles of \"greenness, efficiency, and low carbon emissions\", reflecting strong ecological friendliness. The project makes full use of the advantages in location, resources, and policies associated with the Gulei Petrochemical Park. By leveraging Shengtong Chemical’s own reserve resources as well as the synergies within the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the park, it adopts domestically leading green production processes and environmental protection technologies. Based on traditional petroleum products, it effectively removes or reduces the levels of harmful components such as sulfur, olefins, aromatics, and benzene through process optimization, thereby producing high-purity isooctane. This approach increases the octane rating of gasoline, reduces pollutant emissions during its combustion, and enables the production of refined oil products that feature \"low emissions, reduced carbon buildup, and improved equipment protection\". According to the project’s technical leader, this product, as a component used in the blending of high-quality gasoline, can significantly increase the octane rating of vehicle gasoline (with the RON value able to reach over 95). It also helps to reduce emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulates during gasoline combustion. Compared to traditional gasoline blending methods, it can reduce carbon emissions per unit of product by about 15%, thus meeting the **“dual carbon” goals and the requirements for regional environmental protection. In addition, auxiliary facilities such as the waste gas recovery system and wastewater treatment recycling units built as part of this project will ensure that there is \"zero direct emission of waste gas, recycled use of wastewater, and reduced amounts of solid waste\" throughout the entire production process, thus truly achieving \"development while protecting the environment, and protection while facilitating development.\" The commencement of the second-phase project of Fujian Shengtong Chemical Co., Ltd. represents an important step in the Gulei Petrochemical Park’s efforts to transform the energy industry into one that is cleaner, higher-quality, and more clustered. It holds significant importance for optimizing the regional energy structure and promoting green and low-carbon development.
