In the Huizhou Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone, the Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) PTA project has resumed construction in full swing. In January 2021, it was still an empty and flat construction site. Now the foundation of the main equipment of the project has begun to take shape. Construction vehicles are shuttled back and forth, and workers are seizing the time to construct. Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) Co., Ltd. is making every effort to promote project construction and it is expected that the project will be completed and put into operation in the second quarter of next year.
Hengli (Huizhou) PTA project renderings
Since its settlement in 2020, this project with a total investment of 15 billion yuan , project construction continues to “accelerate”: On August 13, 2020, the Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) PTA project officially signed an investment cooperation agreement; on January 7, 2021, the project officially started construction, and it took only It took 37 days…
Chen Qi, general manager of Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) Co., Ltd., said that there are more than 2,000 workers at the construction site every day, and nearly 30% of the civil engineering work in the main installation area has been completed. Most of the construction will be completed by the end of this year, and equipment installation is basically completed.
Hengli (Huizhou) Industrial Park is Hengli Group’s eighth production base nationwide and its first industrial project in South China. By next summer, the two 2.5 million tons/year PTA (PTA, purified terephthalic acid, the basic raw material for various chemical products) production lines with the world’s largest monomer production capacity will be put into operation here, and one will have an annual output value of 25 billion yuan. Modern factories will rise from the ground.
“Without an excellent business environment and efficient government services, the project construction process would not be so smooth.” Chen Qi said that since the construction of the Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) PTA project started, all aspects have been improved Strong support and troubleshooting from government departments. For example, before the Spring Festival this year, in order to avoid delaying the progress of the project during the Spring Festival holiday, the Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Natural Resources Bureau and more than a dozen relevant departments in Daya Bay District specially organized the review and preliminary design of the terminal environmental impact assessment report to fully ensure the project Smooth construction.
At present, Hengli Group’s PTA production capacity has reached 12 million tons/year. It is a PTA production supplier and a company with an equity production capacity of more than 10 million tons in the industry. After the Hengli (Huizhou) PTA project is put into operation, Hengli Group’s PTA production capacity will reach 17 million tons/year.
The full Chinese name of PTA is purified terephthalic acid. The PTA industry is an important hub linking the two pillar industries of the national economy, petrochemicals and chemical fiber textiles, and is a core link in the industrial chain. PTA reacts with petrochemical upstream products such as ethylene glycol produced from ethylene to mainly produce polyester (PET). Polyester can be processed into fibers, films and plastic products, and is widely used in the packaging industry, electronic appliances, medical and health, construction, automobiles and other fields.
The Hengli (Huizhou) PTA project adopts industry-leading green and intelligent PTA production technology. The project will use a series of equipment that has a leading position in the industry. For example, if the compressor adopts an air compressor unit from German MAN Turbo, the steam it generates can be used to generate electricity, which can not only meet the production needs of the project but also have surplus that can be put online, achieving efficient use of energy cascades and low energy consumption.
Huizhou has been committed to solving the problem of “large oil head and small chemical tail” in the petrochemical industry in recent years. The recently released “Recommendations of the Huizhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development” proposes that Huizhou should focus on consolidating its leading position in advantageous industries, ensuring the safety of the industrial chain and supply chain, and comprehensively improving the petrochemical energy and new materials industry chain. modernization level, build a trillion-level industrial cluster of petrochemical energy new materials, build a world-class green petrochemical industry base around high quality, and comprehensively enhance the development level of Daya Bay Petrochemical Zone.
“Every time Hengli goes to a place, it must integrate into the local area.” Chen Qi said that there are currently more than 400 people in the Huizhou company, of which more than 100 are deployed from various bases of the group, and most of the employees are They are recruited locally. It is expected that after the project is put into production, the company will have more than 1,000 employees, and the required talents will also be recruited locally.
The 2021 Huizhou Municipal Government Work Report proposed to accelerate the shaping of Huizhou’s petrochemical energy new materials industry cluster advantages. The construction of the Hengli (Huizhou) PTA project will help fill in the shortcomings of the mid- and downstream petrochemical industry chains in Huizhou and even Guangdong, comprehensively improve the modernization level of the petrochemical energy new materials industry chain, and inject new energy into Huizhou’s establishment of a trillion-level petrochemical energy new materials industry cluster. strong motivation.
