1. Sinopec Tianjin 150000 tons/year CHP plant smoothly output

the 150000-ton/year CHP propylene oxide (CHPPO) plant of Tianjin Petrochemical Company was successfully started at one time and successfully produced qualified propylene oxide products with a purity of 99.99. The successful start-up of the unit marks the first large-scale industrial demonstration application of Sinopec's own CHP propylene oxide technology.

The project adopts Sinopec's own process technology and is Sinopec's "Ten Dragons" research project, which is jointly researched and developed by Tianjin Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical Research Institute, Shanghai Engineering Company and Safety Institute of Technology. The device has the advantages of low production energy consumption, environmental protection and high operation safety.

The propylene oxide device has achieved safety, environmental protection, successful one-time start-up and produced qualified products, marking that Sinopec has made important achievements in the field of propylene oxide technology, and further accelerated the pace of Tianjin Petrochemical's new energy and new material industry layout. After the device was started, the number of devices in North China increased, and the supply increased simultaneously. However, on February 11, the car was stopped and the shortage was eliminated. Since then, there has been no driving, which has little impact on the real supply of the market.

2. The 400000-ton/year propylene oxide plant of Jiahong New Material under Satellite Petrochemical started up smoothly.

At the end of February, Jiahong new materials 400000 tons/year HPPO plant start-up feeding and smooth output, becoming the largest single set of HPPO process plant in China, the device is located in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, can effectively radiate Shandong, Jiangsu, etc. Its production capacity is large and its supply to the market has increased significantly.

It is understood that the total investment of the project is 20.2 billion yuan, and the main products are propylene oxide and hydrogen peroxide, which are widely used in automobile, construction, food, tobacco, medicine and cosmetics industries. At present, the hydrogen peroxide plant has produced qualified products and is preparing for the production of propylene oxide plant. The project adopts a decentralized control system and an independently designed safety interlocking system, which has high safety, environmental protection and production stability. It is expected that the annual sales income will be 21.05 billion yuan and the annual tax payment will be 1.43 billion yuan after all production.

3. Start-up of 300000 tons/year propylene oxide plant of Jincheng Petrochemical Company

on March 29, Jincheng Petrochemical 300000 tons/year HPPO unit was put into operation and successfully produced on April 2. Jincheng Petrochemical is accelerating its development layout in accordance with the two industrial chains of high-end polyolefin new materials and propylene oxide polyurethane. The successful trial production and start-up of the device marks a new breakthrough in the transformation and upgrading of Jincheng Petrochemical and a full step forward in the transformation and development of high-end chemical new materials.

After Jincheng Petrochemical was put into production, the market supply pattern in Shandong is also changing, and the transportation distance cost is an important consideration point for downstream procurement.

4. Zhejiang Petrochemical 270000 tons/year propylene oxide plant start-up

on June 18, the 270000-ton/year POSM unit of Zhejiang Petrochemical Company successfully produced qualified products, which is the first large-scale PO/SM unit with independent intellectual property rights in China.

The PO/SM unit adopts the propylene oxide co-production styrene process package developed by Changzhou Ruihua Chemical Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. with independent intellectual property rights. The engineering design is undertaken by Beijing Branch of China Huanqiu Engineering Co., Ltd. and jointly constructed by Shaanxi Huajian and Sinopec No.10 Company.

PO/SM plant has long process, complex process, large number of equipment, including a variety of process units, with the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, safety, environmental protection, the device products have a strong profitability. This device adopts fixed bed epoxidation and dehydration process, which is the first large-scale PO/SM device with independent intellectual property rights in China. Its smooth driving has opened up a new process route for the production of propylene oxide and styrene.

5. Sinochem Yangnong Ruiheng New Material 400000 Tons/Year Propylene Oxide Plant Start-up

on January 2, 2024, Sinochem International's carbon trinity phase I project in Sinochem Lianyungang Circular Economy Industrial Park with an annual output of 400000 tons of direct oxidation method (HPPO method) propylene oxide plant entered the trial production stage, a successful start-up, smoothly through the whole process, the production of high-quality products.

The device adopts fixed bed epoxidation and dehydration process, which is the first large-scale PO/SM device with independent intellectual property rights in China. This smooth start-up has opened up a new process route for the production of propylene oxide and styrene, breaking the long-term monopoly state of foreign technology in China's propylene oxide industry, and is of milestone and epoch-making significance to China's and even the world's chemical industry.
