[Industry Focus]:What are the largest producers of toluene, pure benzene, xylene, acrylonitrile, styrene and propylene oxide in China?

China's chemical industry has overtaken rapidly in many industries, and has formed a "hidden champion" in bulk chemicals and individual fields ". This article is mainly for different chemical production scale latitude, inventory of China's largest chemical production enterprises.


1. China's largest ethylene, propylene, butadiene, pure benzene, xylene, ethylene glycol polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene production enterprises: Zhejiang Petrochemical

china's total ethylene production capacity has exceeded 50 million tons/year. In this figure, Zhejiang Petrochemical contributed 4.2 million tons/year of ethylene production capacity, accounting for 8.4 of China's total ethylene production capacity, making it the largest ethylene producer in China. In 2022, ethylene production will exceed 4.2 million tons/year, and the average operating rate will even exceed the full load state. As a benchmark for the prosperity of the chemical industry, ethylene plays an important role in the extension of the chemical industry chain, and its production scale directly affects the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises.

Zhejiang Petrochemical's total propylene production capacity in 2022 will reach 63 million tons/year, while its own propylene production capacity is 3.3 million tons/year, accounting for 5.2 of China's total propylene production capacity, making it the largest propylene producer in China. Zhejiang Petrochemical has also gained advantages in the fields of butadiene, pure benzene and xylene, accounting for 11.3 percent of China's total butadiene capacity, 12 percent of China's total pure benzene capacity and 10.2 percent of China's total xylene capacity, respectively.

In the field of polyethylene, Zhejiang Petrochemical has an annual production of more than 2.25 million tons and has 6 sets of units, of which the largest single unit has a production capacity of 450000 tons/year. In the context of China's total polyethylene production capacity of more than 31 million tons/year, Zhejiang Petrochemical's production capacity accounted for 7.2. Similarly, Zhejiang Petrochemical also has a strong performance in the field of polypropylene, with an annual production of more than 1.8 million tons and 4 sets of units, with an average production capacity of 450000 tons/year per unit, accounting for 4.5 of China's total polypropylene production capacity.

Zhejiang Petrochemical's ethylene glycol production capacity has reached 2.35 million tons/year, accounting for 8.84 of China's total ethylene glycol production capacity, making it the largest ethylene glycol production enterprise in China. As an important basic raw material of polyester industry, the production capacity of ethylene glycol directly affects the scale of polyester industry. Zhejiang Petrochemical's leading position in the field of ethylene glycol complements the supporting development of Rongsheng Petrochemical and Sinopec of its group company, forming a collaborative model of the industrial chain, which is of great significance for enhancing its competitiveness.

In addition, Zhejiang Petrochemical is also strong in the field of styrene, its styrene production capacity of 1.8 million tons/year, accounting for 8.9 of China's total production capacity. Zhejiang Petrochemical has a total of 2 styrene units, of which the largest production capacity reaches 1.2 million tons/year, making it one of the enterprises with the largest single unit production capacity in China. This unit will be put into operation in February 2020.


2. China's largest toluene manufacturer: Sinochem Quanzhou

the total production capacity of toluene in China has reached 25.4 million tons/year. Among them, Sinochem Quanzhou's toluene production capacity is 880000 tons/year, becoming China's largest toluene production enterprise, and its production capacity accounts for 3.5 of China's total toluene production capacity. In second place is Sinopec Hainan Refinery, which has a toluene production capacity of 848000 tons/year, accounting for 3.33 of China's total toluene production capacity.


3, China's largest PX, PTA production enterprises: Hengli Petrochemical.

Hengli Petrochemical's PX production capacity is close to 10 million tons/year, accounting for 21% of my country's total PX production capacity. It is China's largest PX manufacturer. The second is Zhejiang Petrochemical, PX production capacity of 9 million tons/year, accounting for 19% of China's total PX production capacity, the two capacity scale gap is not large.

PX downstream is the main raw material of PTA. Hengli Petrochemical has a PTA production capacity of 11.6 million tons/year. It is the largest PTA production enterprise in China, accounting for about 15.5 of the total PTA scale in China. The second is Zhejiang Yisheng New Materials, whose PTA capacity is 7.2 million tons/year.


4, China's largest ABS manufacturer: Ningbo Lejin Yongxing Chemical

ningbo Lejin Yongxing Chemical ABS production capacity of 850000 tons/year, accounting for 11.8 of China's total ABS production capacity, is China's largest ABS production enterprises, its equipment and put into operation in 1995, has always been China's ABS leading enterprises in the first place.


5. China's largest acrylonitrile production enterprise: Sirbang Petrochemical

the acrylonitrile production capacity of Sirbang Petrochemical is 780000 tons/year, accounting for 18.9 of China's total acrylonitrile production capacity, and is the largest acrylonitrile production enterprise in China. Among them, the acrylonitrile unit is divided into 3 sets, each of which is 260000 tons/year, which was put into operation as early as 2015.


6, China's largest acrylic acid, ethylene oxide production enterprises: satellite chemical

satellite Chemical is the largest producer of acrylic acid in China, and its acrylic acid production capacity has reached 660000 tons/year, accounting for 16.8 of China's total acrylic acid production capacity. Satellite Chemical has 3 sets of acrylic acid units, of which the largest single-suit capacity is 300000 tons/year. In addition, it also provides downstream butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and SAP products, becoming the most complete product structure in China's acrylic acid industry chain, and has an important position and influence in China's acrylic acid market.

Satellite Chemical is also the largest ethylene oxide producer in China, with a production capacity of 1.23 million tons per year, accounting for 13.5 of China's total ethylene oxide production capacity. Ethylene oxide is widely used in downstream applications, including polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer monomer, non-ionic surfactants, etc., and has been widely used in pharmaceutical intermediates and other fields.


7. China's largest propylene oxide producer: CNOOC Shell

with a capacity of 590000 tons/year in propylene oxide production, CNOOC Shell accounts for 9.6 of China's total propylene oxide production capacity, and is the largest enterprise in the field of propylene oxide production in China. In second place is Sinopec Zhenhai Refinery, which has a propylene oxide production capacity of 570000 tons/year, accounting for 9.2 of China's total propylene oxide production capacity. Although the gap between the two is not large in terms of production capacity, Sinopec's influence in the industry is more significant.
