Project name and capacity: Coal-to-olefins, Shenhua Baotou – 60PE unit is operating at normal capacity of 7,042 tons; production was switched to 8,007 tons on April 8th； PP normal production of L5E89; Phase 1 of Shenhua Ningmei’s plant with 50 PP units produces 2500 H, while PP unit 2 produces 1102 K. Datang Dolun’s 46 PP unit started operation on March 29 to produce L5E89; Zhongyuan Petrochemical’s 20 PE unit produces 7050 ； The old PP1 unit produces PPB-M02, while the new PP2 unit produces PPH-T03. Ningbo Fude’s 60PP unit normally produces T30S. Shouguang Luqing 20 is operating smoothly. The operation of Yanchang Zhongmei’s 60DCC unit has been suspended for maintenance; it is planned to resume operations on April 15th ； LLDPE shutdown, HDPE at T60-800 ； PP1 is used for parking; PP2 produces K8003, while Ningmei Phase II uses 50PP3 to produce 1101S. PP4 produces 1100N, and Zhongmei Yulin uses 60PP to produce L5E89 ； PE production model 7042: Ningxia Baofeng, with a production capacity of 60; PE production model 8007: Ningxia Baofeng, with a planned production capacity of 1-2 months ； PP produces S1003; Shenda Chemical produces 34PP and PPH-T30 ； Additionally, EO and EOD are operating stably. Note: The red areas indicate changes in the device’s dynamics
Coal-based olefins are used to produce PP and PE, which are all mass-market products with wide applications in the market, but they offer price advantages. It is highly competitive with traditional olefins from the downstream oil refining industry. Currently, Sinopec and CNPC are both developing new products and producing those with high added value in order to enhance their competitiveness and profitability. The olefin market is really tough.
The products produced from coal-based olefins have a price advantage! But generally, coal chemical industries do not produce high-end products.
