890,000 tons/year!

On June 8, the first industrial application unit of Sinopec's third-generation aromatics technology - Jiujiang Petrochemical's 890,000-ton/year aromatics complex was successfully commissioned and produced qualified products
.

The aromatics complex adopts the third-generation aromatics technology with independent intellectual property rights of Sinopec, which has the advantages of low investment cost, low energy consumption and high catalyst application efficiency
.
This technology is the first to develop and apply a complete set of single-column adsorption and separation technology, which changes the double-column adsorption in the past into a single-column adsorption.
The utilization rate of the adsorbent is increased by 10%, the investment cost is reduced by nearly 20%, and the operation is more stable
.
At the same time, through the comprehensive optimization and utilization of energy integration, such as the whole process optimization, integrated heat combination and low-temperature heat efficient utilization of the aromatic hydrocarbon unit, the energy consumption is less than 220 kg standard oil/ton PX, which is 30% lower than that of similar aromatic units, reaching the international level.
leading level
.

The complete set of aromatics technology, with the production of p-xylene as the core, is an identifying technology that represents the development level of a country's petrochemical industry
.
The first-generation and second-generation high-efficiency and environmentally friendly aromatic hydrocarbon technology were successfully put into production in 2013 and 2019 in Sinopec Hainan Refinery
.
In order to further consolidate the leading edge of aromatics technology, Sinopec's aromatics technology R&D team kept pace and developed a series of new technologies such as single-column aromatics adsorption and separation process and aromatics plant digital control in just two years.
Leading-level third-generation aromatic hydrocarbon technology
.

Jiujiang Petrochemical Aromatics Project is a key project in the national industrial layout.
As the first large-scale aromatics project in central China, its completion and commissioning will play an important role in promoting the rise of central China and leveraging the development of the integrated refining and chemical industry chain
.
The aromatics complex started construction on May 9, 2020.
After 20 months of hard work, the high-standard handover was achieved on January 20, 2022, and qualified products were produced on the 8th
.

After years of development, Sinopec has formed a more complete petrochemical main technology, and made new breakthroughs in key core technologies such as aromatic hydrocarbons, organic raw materials, coal chemical industry and synthetic materials
.
In December 2013, the 600,000-ton aromatics complex of Hainan Refinery and Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
, built with the self-developed high-efficiency and environmentally-friendly aromatics technology, was successfully put into operation, making China the third country to master this technology after the United States and France.
The "Technology Development and Application" project won the 2015 National Science and Technology Progress Special Award; the hydrogen peroxide method to produce propylene oxide (HPPO) industrial demonstration plant was successfully operated, making China the third country in the world to master HPPO technology; the world's largest scale of 3.
6 million tons / Year the coal-to-olefin plant was successfully put into operation, becoming the first supplier to master the MTO reaction and separation technology in the whole process; breaking through the industrialization technology of 48K carbon fiber large tow, and realizing the large-scale application of carbon fiber continuous sucker rods in the oil field for the first time in the world
