Alkylation Unit at Sinopec Shijiazhuang to Put into Operation

Recently, the 200kt/a alkylation unit at Sinopec Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemical Company will be put into operation, and the merchantable C4R2 volume in North China obviously drops. With the quality of refined oil upgrading, market participants pay close attention to the newly added alkylation units at state-owned refineries.
At present, the daily C4R2 supply volume in North China is about 2,980mt, and that at Sinopec Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemical Company is about 700-800mt. Theoretically, the daily demand volume of C4R2 is about 547mt when the alkylation unit at Sinopec Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemical Company runs at a full load. Therefore, the feedstock can meet its demand, but the fact is not so ideal.
On the one hand, the feedstock supply at state-owned refineries will become more stable, as the alkylation unit is put into operation. On the other hand, the sales pressure on independent refineries will grow. Besides, the C4R2 prices in North China will continue to increase. Therefore, market participants will pay close attention to the C4R2 supply.
