Recycling of idle chemical plants
Thread Content
At present, due to excessive domestic investment, weak demand for downstream products, and the impact of alternative technologies, many chemical plants are idle. For example, aromatication units that were idle for a while were some converted to butylene isomerization, and later became idle again ； Some units for producing propylene via carbon tetrahydrogenation have been converted to MTP, but still cannot avoid the fate of being idle again. May I ask everyone, are there any good solutions available at the moment? Please talk.
All I can think of is renting it out as a film shooting location. For example, *Con Air* and *Escape Plan*.
Friend, you speak in a very humorous way, and that doesn’t help in solving problems.
Our company is also facing this problem; the root cause lies in the overall unfavorable economic environment. The chemical industry is in a downturn, and almost all bulk commodities suffer from overcapacity issues. Compared to the projects that were originally planned, renovation projects have no advantages in any aspect. So it’s inevitable to be left idle again.
The topic raised by the original poster is really meaningful! ! !
