The refining and chemical project will be put into full operation soon, with obvious advantages in scale and product structure

In June 2021, the first batch of core units of Shenghong 16 million T / a refining and petrochemical integration project were handed over. At present, preparations for commissioning are being made. It is expected that it can be put into operation in 2022 to contribute to the performance increment. Compared with traditional refining and chemical enterprises, Shenghong refining and chemical has obvious advantages in scale and product structure. Its single line scale reaches 16 million tons. It has the largest atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit in China, which can effectively reduce unit energy consumption, improve equipment efficiency and show strong cost competitiveness; At the same time, Shenghong refining and chemical high value-added chemicals account for 69%, and the profitability of the project is stronger. The company also actively arranged downstream deep processing projects, proposed “2 ethylene glycol + phenol / acetone project” and “POSM polyol project”, increased production capacity of ethylene oxide, styrene and polyether polyols, further extended the industrial chain and cut into the field of polyurethane; At the same time, Hongke new materials, a subsidiary of Shenghong refining and chemical company, also plans to build a degradable material project. Phase I includes 340000 T / a maleic anhydride unit, 200000 t / a BDO unit and 180000 T / a PBAT unit. The added value of the product is worthy of further improvement. At present, the listed company has held 100% equity of Shenghong refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. until the refining and chemical project is fully put into operation, the company will form an industrial matrix of “refining and chemical + Polyester + new materials”. While the performance has been greatly improved, the refining and chemical sector will become a raw material guarantee platform for polyester chemical fiber industry and new material industry, with significant integration advantages.
