Synthetic fiber raw materials maker Shanghai Petrochemical Co Ltd (SPC) informed that its polyester innovation project with an annual output of 150,000 tons of SPC Polyester Division went through completion acceptance by China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec).
Thus, SPC's polyester production capacity reaches 550,000 tons per year. Based on the technical flow of self-developed tri-reactor polyester, this project adopts home-developed technology with independent property right, which makes full use of the location and public engineering facilities of the suspended plants.
It is the first successful application of home-developed special technology to the large-scale polyester production equipment.
