Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute won the bid to supply a complete set of cracking gas valves for the new million-ton ethylene plant in Maoming

Thread Content

Recently, the Special Valves Division of the Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute, which belongs to the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, received a notice of award for the supply of a complete set of cracking gas valves for Sinopec’s million-ton ethylene plant in Maoming. This order marked the first time that Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute has delivered a complete set of ethylene cracking gas valves manufactured by Sinopec; it became the largest single-order for such valves signed between Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute and Sinopec. It also set a record for the largest number of 48-inch interconnected cracking gas valves ordered in one go. The refining transformation and upgrading project as well as the ethylene quality improvement project at Maoming Petrochemical have been included by the **National Development and Reform Commission in the **Petrochemical Industry Planning Scheme**. These projects are key initiatives in Guangdong Province and Sinopec’s efforts to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, to promote new types of industrialization, and to advance the development of the manufacturing sector in terms of sophistication, intelligence, and sustainability. They also represent crucial projects for Maoming Petrochemical to achieve its fourth phase of rapid development. Maoming Petrochemical has always been one of the important sources for domestic production at the Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute; several generations of industry experts have worked tirelessly to build a solid reputation for our institute. 20 years ago, the first 36-inch pyrolysis gas valve was developed here; from safety valves to high-speed pumps, from quick-acting blind flanges to incinerators, every key product was born here. From the outset of the project’s development, the team from the Beijing Institute of Aerospace Propulsion held numerous discussions with Maoming Petrochemical and SEI, the project’s designer, to continuously refine the plan. This thorough preliminary work laid a solid foundation for the project to win the bid. This win further enhances the reputation of the pyrolysis gas valves produced by the Beijing Aerospace Power Research Institute in the industry, and it also strengthens the determination of the Special Valves Division to drive domestic production through innovation.
