As reported by Sinopec News on April 21, the 600,000-ton/year metallocene linear low-density polyethylene/high-density polyethylene plant of the Sino-Arabian Ghulayyil Ethylene Project, which is under EPC general contracting by Ningbo Engineering, has successfully completed its mechanical construction, becoming the first main processing unit to be completed and delivered as part of this project. On April 20, the commissioning ceremony was held for the metallocene linear low-density/high-density polyethylene unit of Fujian Gulei’s 1.5 million tons per year ethylene and downstream processing complex project. Lin Chunjin, Vice President of Operations at Fujian Zhongsha Petrochemical; Mansour, SABIC project consultant; Fu Junsong, Director of the Fujian Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project ； Han Zhenfei, General Manager and Deputy Party Secretary of Ningbo Engineering Company, as well as the heads of the project contractors, the IPMT team, the OPMT team, the quality supervision office, the supervision unit, and various relevant departments, attended the meeting. To date, all components of the project managed by Ningbo Engineering under the EPC contract – namely the 600,000 tons per year metallocene linear low-density polyethylene/high-density polyethylene plant, the polyethylene packaging and storage facility, and the western water system facility – have been completed. This polyethylene production facility is currently the largest metallocene polyethylene plant of its kind in the world. Once operational, it will help fill the gap in China’s market for high-end polyethylene chemical materials, promote the coordinated development of related industries throughout the supply chain, and inject new momentum into Sino-Saudi industrial cooperation.
