Tarim Ethane to Ethylene Project Started Successfully
On August 30, PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical's 600,000-ton/year ethane-to-ethylene plant in Tarim produced qualified ethylene products. This is PetroChina’s largest single-investment refining and chemical project in southern Xinjiang, and the annual ethylene production capacity of Dushanzi Petrochemical Company has reached a new level of 2 million tons.
Dushanzi Petrochemical Tarim Ethane to Ethylene Project with a total investment of 8.04 billion yuan, covering an area of 2216 mu, consists of three main sets of 600,000 tons/year ethylene, 300,000 tons/year high-density polyethylene, and 300,000 tons/year full-density polyethylene. Composition of production equipment, public works and auxiliary systems.
This project is a key project of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and PetroChina, and is listed as a national demonstration project of ethane cracking to ethylene by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
