Yangtze stone naphtha adsorption and separation device is started

Recently, Yangzi Petrochemical's annual output of 1.
2 million tons of naphtha adsorption and separation plant was successfully started up and produced qualified products
.
The successful start-up of the plant marks a major breakthrough
in the Yangtze Petrochemical Refining Transformation Project.

With a total investment of 400 million yuan, Yangzishi naphtha adsorption and separation device project started on June 9, 2011, and achieved intermediate handover
on September 17, 2012.
The project is a scientific research project jointly developed by Sinopec and UOP, and is the world's first industrial plant
.
The main product of the plant is to realize the separation of n-paraffins and isoparaffins in naphtha and supply them to ethylene and aromatic reforming plants
respectively.
Its completion and operation will realize the purpose of raw material optimization of Yangzi Petrochemical "Yi Olene, Yi Fang Zefang", make the raw materials of olefins and aromatics more reasonable, the plant yield is higher, and the efficiency is better, which will become a new economic growth point
of Yangzi.
