Xiang Lei, Vice President and General Manager of Honeywell UOP China, said: “The strategic combination of interconnected factories and process intensification can help refineries further release the value of integration.

According to reports, the white paper analyzes the six key efficiencies of the "future refinery", involving six indicators of carbon, hydrogen, emissions, energy consumption, water, and capital, and quantifies their efficiency.

In recent years, my country's oil refining industry has developed rapidly in an environment of gradual opening of capital and markets.

Xiang Lei said: "We believe that the next 3 to 5 years will be the most critical period for the transformation of China's energy industry, and it may also be a critical period for how to transform from a major chemical country to a strong chemical country.
