Building a Demonstration Base for the Whole CCUS Industry Chain——Sinopec's Construction Documentary of the Million-ton CCUS Project

On August 29, Sinopec announced that China's largest carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) full industry chain demonstration base - Qilu Petrochemical - Shengli Oilfield million-ton CCUS project was put into production

"The Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield million-ton CCUS project is known as an 'industrial forest'.

Building an "artificial carbon cycle" model to turn carbon dioxide waste into treasure

On July 5, 2021, Sinopec announced the start of the construction of China's first million-ton CCUS project

"CCUS is one of the key technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The carbon dioxide tail gas emitted by the coal gasification unit of the Second Fertilizer Plant of Qilu Petrochemical is a high-quality carbon dioxide resource with a purity of up to 90%

Qilu Petrochemical quickly started the construction of a million-ton carbon dioxide recycling and utilization project in accordance with the national strategic deployment of "dual carbon" goals

Bringing together the power of Chinese manufacturing, the localization rate of equipment reaches 100%

After the project construction was fully launched, Qilu Petrochemical strengthened the project operation management, deepened the research on carbon dioxide capture technology, continued to optimize the carbon dioxide capture process, continuously reduced project carbon emissions and capture costs, and gradually expanded the scale of project application

According to the raw gas, product gas and storage and transportation mode, the company determines the liquefaction purification technology scheme

All the construction personnel have always been guided by "safety, quality, and progress" to improve the construction efficiency of the project

In order to speed up the construction of the project, with the support of relevant departments of Sinopec Group, Qilu Petrochemical adopted the management model of project management leading group + project site management department + supervision + contractor to build a complete organizational system, covering engineering design, equipment selection, etc.

"The construction project implements grid management.

On January 29, 2022, in only 96 days, the Qilu Petrochemical-Shengli Oilfield CCUS project was fully completed and completed

Co-drawing a blueprint for green and low-carbon development to create a CCUS benchmark project

After the project was completed and handed over, Qilu Petrochemical accelerated the preparations for the start of construction, established an expert team, deduced possible problems during the start-up process, and formulated protective measures to ensure that the device is affordable, stable, long-term and high-efficiency

During the Spring Festival, the project team members gave up reunion with their families, and made preparations for three inspections and four determinations, pipeline purging, and air tightness

On April 4th, the first tank truck full of carbon dioxide products left the factory and was transported to the gas injection center of Shengli Oilfield, marking the successful commissioning of the first trial production of the carbon dioxide capture unit of Qilu Petrochemical, upstream of the CCUS project

After the project was put into production, the liquid carbon dioxide captured by Qilu Petrochemical was transported by road to Shengli Oilfield for oil displacement

"In the next step, Qilu Petrochemical will, in accordance with the unified deployment of the group company, build and use the carbon dioxide transmission pipeline from Qilu Petrochemical to Shengli Oilfield as soon as possible, further reduce transportation costs, and build a replicable and popularized CCUS entire industry chain demonstration base and benchmarking project
