The Jinshan District factory in Shanghai, lined with tower cranes, is quietly undergoing a transformation that concerns the future fate of a multi million ton refining base. The nine engineering powerhouses are leading the bidding sections, from sulfur recovery to new material equipment. With the roar of pile foundations, this old petrochemical base is shedding its old shell and transforming into a green high-end.

Recently, the bidding results for 9 sections of the second batch of foundation pile engineering for the comprehensive technological transformation and quality upgrading project of Shanghai Petrochemical were publicly announced.

Nine sections of flowers fall on each household

Basic project information

The construction unit is Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd., located in the existing factory area of Jinshan District, Shanghai. The project maintains a refining capacity of 14 million tons per year, adjusts the structure of the equipment, shuts down old equipment, builds new ethylene and new material facilities, and improves safety and environmental protection levels. The total investment is 21.307 billion yuan, self funded by the enterprise. The main construction period is about 3 years, and the longest supporting facilities are about 5 years. The construction period will be adjusted according to the actual situation. Keywords: Shanghai Petrochemical, Ethylene Plant, Technological Upgrading

Equipment renovation plan

The project involves the construction and renovation of 10 sets of oil refining units, including 7 new units and 3 renovated units, while simultaneously phasing out 8 old oil refining units. In the chemical industry sector, 8 new chemical plants will be built and 2 chemical plants will be renovated. Multiple old chemical and utility plants will be shut down, totaling 10 old plants. Environmental protection disposal facilities will also be installed simultaneously.Editor/Gong Ziwei
