Sinopec hydrogenated nitrile technology was successfully developed

On December 26, 2022, the 5,000 tons/year hydrogenated nitrile plant 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 full entry of the industrial plant into the production stage
.

Hydrogenated nitrile rubber has excellent heat resistance, oxidation resistance and chemical stability, and is an indispensable and important material
in oil extraction and other fields.
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 pilot and pilot technology
of hydrogenated nitrile rubber.
In 2020, hydrogenated nitrile industrialization technology was listed as a major scientific and technological research project of Sinopec, and Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry, Qilu Petrochemical, Sinopec Engineering Construction Co.
, Ltd.
and other cooperation lasted a total of 188 days from construction start, production preparation to commissioning and commissioning, and completed the project research task
.

The successful start-up of the plant means that Sinopec can introduce hydrogenated nitrile series products with adjustable acrylonitrile content and controlled hydrogenation to the market, and can realize the customized production
of hydrogenated nitrile products.
In the next step, the research team will continue to tackle key problems, ensure the stable operation of industrial equipment, continue to improve the development of product grades, and help China's special rubber technology to stand on its own feet
