Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical invested 11.332 billion yuan to build a carbon three industry chain, and planned to build PO, acrylonitrile, phenol/acetone, etc.

On May 30, the high-end synthetic new material project of Sinopec Ningbo Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
was accepted and announced for environmental impact assessment
.

The project, with a total investment of 11.
332 billion yuan, is located in the middle of Ningbo Petrochemical Economic and Technological Development Zone and the north side of Yongzhou Expressway.
The project relies on the raw material advantages of Zhenhai Refinery and Chemical Production Base.
The construction includes 40/180,000 tons/year of acrylonitrile/methionine.
Combined plant, 65/240,000 tons/year phenol acetone/bisphenol A combined plant, 300,000 tons/year CHPPO plant, 200,000 tons/year isononanol plant and other 4 sets of production units and supporting public and auxiliary facilities

Project Features

This project is a new project.
The project uses propylene as raw material to extend the industrial chain downstream, and gives full play to the production efficiency advantages of the combined plant.
The acrylonitrile plant and the methionine plant are combined as the combined plant, and acrylonitrile will be supplied to the relevant enterprises in the petrochemical zone through pipelines.
, the concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrocyanic acid produced by the acrylonitrile plant are supplied to the methionine plant to realize the conversion of low-value products to high-value products; the phenol acetone plant and the bisphenol A plant are used as a combined device to realize the upstream and downstream mutual supply of phenol and acetone.
The cumene produced by the phenol and acetone unit is used as the main raw material of the CHPPO unit; the isononanol unit uses low-value liquefied gas and synthesis gas as raw materials to produce isononanol products, which makes up for the market gap of regional isononanol products
.
The upstream and downstream units of this project use direct supply of raw materials to improve production efficiency and reduce environmental risks in the process of material export
.

The project adopts a combination of localized research and imported technology.
The 300,000-ton/year CHPPO unit adopts Sinopec's key research technology and has complete independent intellectual property rights.
It is the largest direct oxidation CHPPO unit in the country; 400,000 tons/year propylene The nitrile plant adopts the propylene ammoxidation production technology independently developed by Sinopec; the phenol acetone, bisphenol A, isononyl alcohol and other plants have introduced the most advanced production technology in the world; the methionine plant adopts the technology jointly developed by Zhejiang private chemical enterprise Xinhecheng and Zhejiang University

Significance of project construction

Sinopec Ningbo Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
was established in June 2018 as a joint venture between Sinopec and Ningbo City
.
In response to the "Petrochemical Industry Planning and Layout Plan", "According to the requirements of industrial parkization, refining and chemical integration, equipment scale, high-end products and management modernization, promote the development of high-end petrochemical products, and promote industrial structure adjustment and transformation and upgrading" , Sinopec Ningbo Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
plans to take advantage of the existing raw material resources in Ningbo Petrochemical Zone to implement a high-end synthetic new material project
.
The project develops downstream along the C3 product chain, and can open up oil refining - propylene - acrylonitrile - ABS/methionine, oil refining - propylene - phenol acetone - bisphenol A - polycarbonate, oil refining - liquefied gas ——Isononanol——Environment-friendly plasticizer and other characteristic industrial chains, improve the safety of the industrial chain in the petrochemical area, the level of coordinated development of various industries and the overall industrial competitiveness
.
This project and the ongoing project of Sinopec Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Company are combined to form the Zhenhai Refining and Chemical Production Base
