Next summer, the two 2.5 million tons/year PTA production lines with the largest single unit production capacity in the world will be put into operation, and a PTA factory with an annual output value of 25 billion yuan will rise from the ground!
It was recently learned that 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. In January this year, 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 shuttle back and forth, and workers seize the time to construct.
Since its settlement last year, the construction of this project with a total investment of 15 billion yuan has continued to accelerate: August 13, 2020, Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) PTA The project officially signed an investment cooperation agreement; on January 7, 2021, the project officially started construction, and it only took 37 days from the government handover to the start of construction…
Hengli Petrochemical (Huizhou) ) Co., Ltd. General Manager Chen Qi 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. It is expected that most of the construction will be completed by the end of this year, and the equipment installation will be basically completed.
Hengli (Huizhou) Industrial Park is the eighth Hengli Group has deployed nationwide The production base is also 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 received 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.
“Every time Hengli goes to a place, it must integrate into the local area.” Chen Qi said that currently there are more than 400 people in the Huizhou company, of which more than 100 are deployed from various bases of the group. In addition, most employees 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.
This year’s 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.
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.
The total domestic PTA production capacity is expected to exceed 90 million tons in 2025
The PTA industry is an important hub connecting 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 upstream petrochemical 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.
According to statistics, PTA production capacity will increase by 7.2 million tons in 2020, including 5 million tons in the fourth and fifth phases of Hengli Petrochemical and 2.2 million tons in the second phase of Xinfengming. The production capacity exceeds 60 million tons, an increase of 13.6%. As of now, Hengli Petrochemical’s total production capacity has reached 11.6 million tons, ranking first in the world.
At the beginning of 2021, the commissioning of the 2.5 million-ton unit in Fujian Baihong was the first step in the new year, followed by the commissioning of Jiangsu Honggang, followed by Ningbo Yi Sheng, Jiujiang Tongkun and Xinfengming Phase III all have plans to put into production, and the production capacity may exceed 10 million tons within the year.
After 2022, new devices at Hengli Huizhou, Xinfengming Phase IV, Jiangsu Tongkun, and Guangxi Tongkun will be launched one after another. It is expected that the total domestic PTA production capacity will exceed 9,000 by 2025 Thousands of tons. </p
