Recently, the preliminary project of the Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project was officially launched, which means that the Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project has ushered in a new breakthrough.

Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project

According to reports, the Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project is jointly invested and constructed by Saudi Basic Industries Corporation SABIC, Fujian Energy and Petrochemical Group and Zhangzhou Jiulongjiang Group. A total investment of 42.07 billion yuan will be invested in deep processing complexes, etc. It is estimated that the annual output value of the project will be about 34 billion yuan after the project is put into production.

The preliminary project of the Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project, which was implemented first, has a total investment of 1.1 billion yuan. The project content mainly includes project site leveling, enclosure, engineering integration project management department, main roads and supporting roads in the factory area, first-level ground management and factory construction. The laying of internal pipelines will lay a solid foundation for the start of the main device within this year.

In his speech, Saleh Al-Buenein, Director of Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Zhangzhou Municipal Government and partners, and praised the efficient work and dedication of the project team. He said that the commencement of the preliminary construction of the Zhongsha Gulei Ethylene Project is a new chapter in the petrochemical industry's sustainable development. The project is an important milestone for the Zhongsha Petrochemical Company and the petrochemical industry. Benefits will also provide new opportunities for Fujian and Zhangzhou to achieve better development.

Multiple installations will be built

The main construction of the project: ethylene and downstream - ethylene production scale is 1.5 million tons/year, ethylene downstream planning construction is 10/1 million tons/year ethylene oxide/ethylene glycol, 400,000 tons/year HDPE, 600,000 tons /year mLLDPE/HDPE and 50,000 tons/year hexene-1. Propylene and downstream - propylene downstream planning and construction of 400,000 tons/year polypropylene (impact/random) and 550,000 tons/year polypropylene (homo/random). There are also some propylene downstream plans to build 25/150,000 tons/year phenol acetone, 270,000 tons/year bisphenol A and 290,000 tons/year polycarbonate. In addition, supporting construction of 910,000 tons/year pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation (including styrene extraction), 220,000 tons/year butadiene extraction, 56,000 tons/year butene-1 unit and 570,000 tons/year aromatics extract.

The project has introduced 19 world-leading technologies, among which 4 patented technologies of SABIC are introduced for the first time in China. The project adopts low-pressure gas-phase fluidized bed technology to produce mLLDPE/HDPE, adopts slurry process technology to produce bimodal HDPE, adopts ethylene oligomerization process technology to produce hexene-1, and adopts gas-phase fluidized bed technology to produce homopolymer/random Polypropylene, using gas phase horizontal stirred bed technology to produce impact polypropylene.

The project will make full use of the location advantages of the Gulei petrochemical base, excellent conditions such as ports, land, and environmental capacity, relying on the existing PX and PTA plant foundations of the Tenglong Xianglu Project, and jointly build a 1.5 million tons/year ethylene cracking plant with an internationally renowned petrochemical company. It can produce nearly 2.4 million tons of low-carbon olefins, so as to create a number of downstream processing industrial chains with a certain scale and characteristics, forming a base based on three major synthetic materials, basic organic raw materials, new chemical materials and high-end special chemicals. Distinctive industrial clusters.

Create a 100 billion petrochemical industry cluster

As one of the seven major petrochemical bases in China and the only Taiwan petrochemical industrial park in China, Gulei Petrochemical Industrial Base is an important position for the development of the petrochemical industry. Gulei Petrochemical Industry Base focuses on improving industrial competitiveness, steadily promotes the integrated refining and chemical industry, and vigorously develops the petrochemical deep processing industry. According to the large-scale, intensive, and integrated development model, it adopts international advanced crude oil processing technology and ethylene, Aromatics and other production technologies, producing clean fuels and high-end petrochemical products, aiming at strategic emerging industries, focusing on the development of three major synthetic materials including new materials: synthetic resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber and their deep-processed products, forming an undertaking to undertake the transfer of Taiwan's petrochemical industry And domestic and foreign investment, facing the domestic and Southeast Asian markets, a petrochemical industry cluster with upstream and downstream integration.

At present, the development of Gulei petrochemical base is speeding up in an all-round way, the industrial system is becoming more and more perfect, and two industrial chains of aromatics-polyester and olefin-plastics with an energy level of 100 billion have been initially formed. The park has 53 industrial projects that have been put into production, are under construction, under contract, and under discussion, with a total investment of 329.516 billion yuan and an annual output value of 422.773 billion yuan after reaching production capacity.
