Tianjin Binhai New Area saw the opening of a ceremony in celebration of the launch of the one million tpa ethylene and associated facilities project, which marked that this world-class integrated project of ethylene refining and petrochemical production has been jumpstarted.
This Tianjin-based one million tpa ethylene and associated facilities project comprises three parts, which are respectively ethylene project, revamping of refinery and thermal power generation facilities.
Once this project is completed in 2009, Sinopec Tianjin Company will then see its aggregate ethylene production capacity reach 1.2 million tpa, and its oil refining and comprehensive processing capacity account for 12.5 million tpa, thus becoming one of the country's 10-million-tonnage oil refining bases and also one of China's 1-million-tonnage integrated ethylene production bases.
By then, the company will be able to produce 12 million tpa of petroleum, petrochemical and chemical fiber products of superior quality and higher grades, which are available in a wide variety.
This project will be constructed in adherence to its guiding principles of “regionalization, world scale, integration, specialization”, while featuring such advantages as uniformly designed & deployed supporting facilities, compact and rational layout, streamlined technological flow, mutual supply of materials intramurally, occupancy of limited land resources, a controlled sum of investments and reduced costs, etc.
