Industry insiders believe that the future development of PDH process is still worth looking forward to

Due to the advantages of simple reaction process, high product yield, small footprint and low investment, propane dehydrogenation to propylene (PDH) is favored by investors.

Production capacity enters a concentrated release period

Among these projects, Jinneng Technology's 900,000-ton/year PDH unit and Ningxia Runfeng's 300,000-ton/year PDH unit are particularly eye-catching

According to the disclosed information, there will be more than 35 million tons of PDH projects under construction, proposed construction and planning in China in the next ten years

Industry is in the red

The raw material propane of the PDH process route needs to be imported in large quantities, and the market power is low and the bargaining power is not strong

According to the calculation of Jinlianchuang, the profit of PDH tons in 2018 was 2026 yuan, 1540 yuan in 2019, and 1448 yuan in 2020, which has shown a downward trend year by year

The period of high profitability has become a thing of the past, causing industry players to worry about the competitiveness and development space of PDH in the future

There are still development opportunities in the future

　　What is the way out for the future PDH route? Industry experts believe that companies can make efforts in process optimization, changing transportation methods, and increasing the added value of the industrial chain to enhance market competitiveness

　　The first is to focus on process optimization

　　The second is to change the mode of transportation to reduce costs

　　The third is to enhance the added value of the industrial chain

　　Therefore, large-scale, intensive, and integrated upstream and downstream industrial chain PDH projects are expected to develop well in the fierce market competition, and their future position in the propylene industry should not be underestimated
