The Guangdong Petrochemical Project of PetroChina, a world-class ＂refining giant＂, has been fully transferred to the production preparation stage.

CCTV News:Today (October 1st), China Petroleum announced that it is a 10-million-ton refining and chemical integration project — — All the main devices of Guangdong Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Project have been installed, and they have been fully transferred to the production preparation stage.

Guangdong Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Project is located in Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, covering an area of 920 hectares. It can refine 20 million tons of oil, produce 2.6 million tons of aromatic hydrocarbons and produce 1.2 million tons of ethylene every year.

The aromatic hydrocarbon plant, polypropylene plant and styrene plant of the integrated project are the largest in the world. Compared with oil refining enterprises of the same scale, the added value of products of oil refining integrated enterprises can be increased by 25%, and the energy consumption can be reduced by about 15%.

　　　　　　 The construction of the project started at the end of 2018, and it is planned to be put into operation at the end of October this year. It is estimated that the annual sales revenue will reach 82 billion yuan, and the profit and tax will be about 20 billion yuan. At the same time, it will give play to the leading industry to further meet the demand for chemical raw materials in Greater Bay Area, especially to supply synthetic resin materials for household appliances, electronics, toys and other industries in the Pearl River Delta region, greatly improving the localization rate. Up to now, it has successfully signed contracts to introduce high-quality chemical industry projects such as new materials, fine chemicals and biomedicine in the middle and lower reaches of petrochemical industry with a total planned investment of nearly 100 billion yuan.

Guangdong Petrochemical Refining & Chemical Integration Project is a world-class "Refining & Chemical Giant", which has created many world firsts in the process of design and construction. Let’s learn about it through a short film.

More than 600,000 design drawings, 10,418 sets of process equipment, 4.11 million cubic meters of concrete, 270,000 tons of steel structures and 3,377 kilometers of process pipelines. The concrete used in the project can pour 22 nests, the steel structure can build 41 water cubes, and the pipeline can be laid from Beijing to Guangdong.

The main crane of the world’s largest 5,000-ton gantry crane and the tail crane of the largest 4,000-ton crawler crane in China have successfully hoisted the 4,000-ton tower as a whole, setting a new record for hoisting the heaviest tower in Asia.

The project has created more than 100 domestic and foreign industry records, such as "dressing and wearing a hat" in Asia’s largest aromatic raffinate tower in 29 days and two cranes in ethylene plant towers in three days.

After putting into production, the annual sales revenue can reach 82 billion yuan, and the profit and tax will be about 20 billion yuan, which is of great significance to improve the balance and coordination of regional development in Guangdong Province.
