In-house development! 5,000 tons/year hydrogenated nitrile plant start-up

On December 26, the 5,000 tons/year hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) unit using Sinopec's independent development technology was successfully started up in Qilu Petrochemical, and the hydrogenation degree of the product was greater than 99%, marking the successful development of Sinopec's hydrogenated nitrile technology and the industrial plant fully entered the production stage
.

Hydrogenated nitrile rubber has excellent heat resistance, oxidation resistance and chemical stability, and is an indispensable and important material
in aerospace, oil exploitation, transportation and other fields.
Sinopec Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry has been deeply engaged in the field of hydrogenated nitrile for nearly ten years, overcoming many key scientific and technological problems from raw materials, catalysts, synthesis to application, and developed advanced hydrogenated nitrile rubber pilot and pilot technology
.

In 2020, hydrogenated nitrile industrialization technology was listed as a major scientific and technological research project of Sinopec, and Beihua Institute, Qilu Petrochemical, SEI and other countries worked together to produce qualified products and successfully complete the project research tasks
.

The successful start-up of the plant means that Sinopec can launch hydrogenated nitrile series products with adjustable acrylonitrile content and controllable hydrogenation to the market, and can realize the customized production
of hydrogenated nitrile products.
