The total investment is 1 billion yuan! The latest progress of Maoming Petrochemical's 50,000-ton POE project

Recently, Maoming Petrochemical's 50,000 tons/year POE industrial pilot plant project was publicized for public comment on the draft of the environmental impact report
.

Here are the specifics
of the project.

Project Name: Maoming Branch 50,000 tons/year polyolefin elastomer (POE) industrial pilot plant project

Construction: Maoming Branch of Sinopec

Construction site: Maoming branch chemical plant area reserved land

Nature of construction: newly built

Construction period: Planned start time is March 2023, expected completion time is March 2025, construction period is 36 months
.

Project investment: The total investment is 997.
69 million yuan, of which the environmental protection investment is 1.
83 million yuan, accounting for about 0.
18%
of the total investment.

Land area: The project occupies an area of 29274m 2 (of which: the area of the installation boundary area is 25920m 2, the middle tank boundary area occupies an area of 3354m 2), and the construction area is 7469m ₂
.

Operation capacity: This project fully relies on the management system and human resources of the chemical plant area of Maoming Branch, and only 52 new employees are added
.

Construction content: This project plans to build 1 set of 50,000 tons/year polyolefin elastomer (POE) industrial test plant and intermediate spherical tank farm, located in the reserved land of the chemical plant area of Maoming Branch, with no new land
.

This test device is the latest research and development technology in China, after the implementation of this project, in terms of engineering, it is mainly to verify the feasibility and reliability of POE industrial large-scale production process, collect process parameters on each process node, and provide data support
for the design of future industrial equipment.
In terms of product production, the test unit will undertake the test work
of large-scale production of different grades of POE products in Maoming.

The specific test protocol is shown in the following table:

This test device is a new domestic research and development of new technology, the test process produces quality failed to meet the product quality requirements of this test test products, the main components are ethylene-octene, ethylene-butene elastomer, can be used as a flexibilizer, foaming material without further processing, the construction of this part of the product as a by-product to sell downstream available
.

Project features: Maoming's existing ethylene plant and 50,000 tons/year linear α olefin (LAO) plant can produce various raw materials required for this project, thereby effectively reducing the test cost; At the same time, the supporting conditions of the Maoming Chemical Plant are complete, and all kinds of public works and environmental protection facilities required by the project can be provided by existing facilities
.

As early as September 22, 2022, Maoming Petrochemical's 1000 tons/year POE pilot plant was successfully started up once, which adopts olefin solution polymerization technology
independently developed by Sinopec.
It marks that Sinopec has become the first technology patentant in China with a complete set of relevant independent intellectual property rights, filling the domestic gap and laying a solid foundation
for Sinopec's 50,000 tons/year POE industrialization plant under construction to be put into operation.
