Sino-Korea Petrochemical strengthens technological research, increases production of ethylene oxide and creates benefits

From January to May this year, Sinopec Corp.
increased its production of ethylene oxide by 5,208 tons, creating a profit of 11.
43 million yuan
.

In recent years, the ethylene glycol market for liquid chemical products has continued to be sluggish, and ethylene oxide (EO) has good economic benefits, especially under the severe epidemic prevention and control situation, the market demand is large, which is the benefit of Sinopec’s vinyl chain The best product
.

In order to maximize the benefits of the equipment, Sino-Korea Petrochemical has actively carried out technical research on high-load operation of domestic silver catalysts since this year, adjusted the structure of ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol products according to market conditions, and opened up ethylene oxide pipelines to ensure that downstream enterprises The back road is unimpeded, and the production capacity of EO/EG devices is continuously increased, ethylene oxide production is increased, and MEG is suppressed, and good results have been achieved
.

Through the high-load operation of domestic silver catalysts, the production load of the EO/EG plant has increased from 87% last year to 110%, the output of ethylene oxide has increased from 28 tons per hour to 31 tons, and the energy consumption of the plant has increased from 392.
8 kg in 2020.
The oil/ton equivalent of ethylene oxide decreased to 286.
9 kg of standard oil/ton equivalent of ethylene oxide
