Recently, in Panjin on the coast of Bohai Bay, a refining giant ship with a total investment of 83.7 billion yuan is entering the countdown to production. The atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit will soon be the first to introduce crude oil, and 32 sets of main units will be fed in an orderly manner with a mature set and a start-up set. The Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project has entered a critical period of trial operation and sprint. This landmark project, which plans to produce 15 million tons/year of oil refining, 1.65 million tons/year of ethylene, 2 million tons/year of xylene and other products, has officially entered the countdown stage of production preparation.

Refining and chemical giant ship sprints towards production

According to the start-up plan, the project starts with the introduction of crude oil into the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit. Following the three main lines of diesel cracking reforming line, residue oil hydrogenation catalytic cracking line, ethylene and downstream, the project will promote the orderly feeding of 32 main units with a mature and start-up rhythm. The refining sector involves 18 sets of equipment, including 15 million tons/year atmospheric and vacuum distillation, 3.5 million tons/year young hydrocarbon recovery, 1.6 million tons/year coal diesel hydrogenation, 3.7 million tons/year diesel hydrocracking, 2.5 million tons/year wax oil hydrocracking, 4.2 million tons/year high propylene catalytic cracking, and 2 million tons/year aromatics combination. The chemical sector involves 14 sets of equipment, including 1.65 million tons/year steam cracking, 73.6/700000 tons/year ethylbenzene/styrene, 200000 tons/year high-density polyethylene, 400000 tons/year PP, 2 x 450000 tons/year FDPE, 300000 tons/year LDPE, 200000 tons/year POE, 300000 tons/year CHPPO, acrylonitrile MMA、ABS、 200000 tons/year butadiene extraction, C4 combination, cracking gasoline hydrogenation combination, etc.

Three party joint venture to ensure the supply of crude oil

The total investment of the project is 83.7 billion yuan, and it is invested and constructed by Huajin Aramco Petrochemical Co., Ltd., a joint venture established by Huajin Group, Saudi Aramco, and Panjin Xincheng Group under China North Industries Group. Saudi Aramco not only participates in project construction as an investor, but also provides long-term stable crude oil supply for the project. Relying on Saudi Aramco's advanced process package, it achieves low energy consumption, high yield, and low emissions, and its process level benchmarks international first-line refining bases. This cooperation not only reflects the heavyweight partnership between central enterprises and international energy giants, but also provides key support for the guarantee of raw materials and process stability after the project is put into operation.

High end materials fill the gap

After the project is fully put into operation, it will significantly fill the supply gap of high-end fine chemical materials in China, thoroughly upgrade the pattern of the Bohai Rim petrochemical industry, and become a core pillar project to drive the revitalization of the Northeast industry and deepen energy cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia. The production and implementation of this project is not only a heavyweight cooperation achievement between central enterprises and international energy giants, but also a complete rewrite of the structure of the northern refining industry, injecting new growth momentum into the regional economy.Editor/Gao Xue
