On the morning of September 25, 2022, the first batch of basic design approval projects in the western region of Jilin Petrochemical Company's refining and chemical transformation and upgrading project started construction. This marks that the company has taken an important step on the road of transforming its refining and chemical business to a green and low-carbon transformation by reducing oil and increasing chemicals, reducing oil and increasing specialties, and has made an important contribution to the realization of the development strategy of one major and six doubles in Jilin Province and the four major cities in Jilin City. The action plan has a positive driving effect.

The transformation and upgrading project of CNPC Jilin Petrochemical Company has a total investment of 33.9 billion yuan. It will build 21 sets of refining and chemical units including 1.2 million tons/year of ethylene and 600,000 tons/year of ABS. It is the first large-scale petrochemical project approved by the state since the 14th Five-Year Plan. These projects are arranged in the east, middle and west regions respectively. Among them, the west region has new key chemical plants such as acrylonitrile, styrene, ABS, etc., and the 300,000-ton/year synthetic ammonia and 250,000-ton/year MMA plant are also to be transformed.

Since the full launch of the transformation and upgrading project on February 8, 2022, Jilin Petrochemical Company has carried out three consecutive 100-day battles with the goal of completing the overall design, completing the first two batches of basic designs, and realizing the start of the new ethylene plant.

Up to now, the basic design of 16 tenders with 1.2 million tons/year ethylene plant as the core has been fully launched, the procurement of 29 technical process packages has been completed, the overall design has been approved, and the long-term equipment procurement has been started. At present, 260,000 tons/year of acrylonitrile and other projects have been fully started.

According to reports, after the project in the western region is put into operation, the production capacity of Jilin Petrochemical's advantageous chemical products ABS, acrylonitrile and methyl methyl ester will lead the country, especially after the ABS production capacity reaches 1.8 million tons/year, it will rank first in China, making The company's product structure was further optimized, and its market competitive advantage was further enhanced.
