Sinopec's ethylene production broke through 10 million tons

It is reported that in 2011, Sinopec produced 10.0735 million tons of ethylene, which exceeded the 10 million tons mark for the first time.

Ethylene production capacity is an important indicator of the development level of a country's petrochemical industry. From the reorganization of the group company in 1998 to the end of 2010, Sinopec's annual ethylene production capacity increased from 2.575 million tons to 9.475 million tons, becoming the fourth largest ethylene producer in the world, achieving a leapfrog development.

In 2011, Sinopec’s ethylene production companies limited production in a timely manner in response to tight supply of domestic refined oil in June, contributing to the supply of refined oil products; in December, the market for chemical products weakened, and decisively adjusted the load of the equipment. Ensure the maximum benefit of the company. The annual ethylene production increased by 848,000 tons over the previous year, with an increase of 9.23%.

In light of the fact that the supply and demand of chemical light oil are not balanced, the Chemicals Group organizes such companies as Tianjin, Maoming, Jinling and Guangzhou to import South Pars Condensate, seizing the opportunity of the market to import naphtha, and making use of the upstream and downstream markets. Integration advantages, make full use of internal resources such as light hydrocarbons in the oil field, various dry gases, tail gas, and light hydrocarbons in the refinery and aromatics plants.

Some companies process large quantities of Nanpas condensate, leading to a substantial increase in the sulfur content of the raw materials. The Chemical Industry Department organizes companies to carefully analyze the safety risks of ethylene plants and take measures such as operational adjustment to ensure the stable operation of the plant. In response to rising pressure drop in SECCO quench towers, lack of cracking capacity in cracking gas compressors in Maoming New Line, and agglomeration of materials in Fujian's polyethylene reaction system, the Chemical Department promptly organized experts to conduct on-site technical services to ensure high load safety of ethylene plants. run.

In 2011, there were a lot of overhaul devices, and the chemical segment took full advantage of the group to help companies optimize maintenance plans, formulate maintenance plans, implement quality control throughout the entire process, and ensure the quality of inspections. Maoming, Guangzhou, Zhongyuan, Yanshan, SECCO, and Shanghai all successfully completed maintenance tasks according to the plan, and achieved smooth startup and high-load operation after the equipment was overhauled.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of products, the Chemicals Group adheres to the business strategy of “distribution by sales, production for production, and production promotion” to speed up product structure adjustment and strive to produce high value-added products that are marketable. We will take advantage of the advancement of the centralized sales and chemical sales outlets market, accelerate the improvement of the marketing network, flexibly adjust marketing strategies, and achieve full production, increase production, and increase efficiency.
