Sinopec: Maoming Petrochemical POE pilot plant was successfully started at one time

On September 22, the 1,000 tons/year POE (polyolefin elastomer) pilot plant was successfully started in Maoming Petrochemical, smoothly opening up the whole process, producing qualified products, and achieving continuous and stable operation
.
The device adopts the olefin solution polymerization technology
independently developed by Sinopec.

The successful start-up of the plant marks that Sinopec has become the first technology patenter with relevant sets of independent intellectual property rights in China, filling the domestic gap and laying a solid foundation
for the smooth operation of Sinopec's 50,000 tons/year POE industrialization plant under construction.

POE is widely used in material toughening and modification, foaming, building materials and other fields, and is a key core material
for the preparation of a new generation of photovoltaic adhesive film.
Over the years, the Science and Technology Department of the Group Company, together with various departments, has given full play to the operational advantages of the "large corps", organized the Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry to carry out laboratory research, and then organized the Engineering Construction Company, Maoming Petrochemical, Qingdao Safety Engineering Research Institute and East China University of Science and Technology to carry out engineering technology development
.

Maoming Petrochemical 1000 tons / year pilot plant has been implemented
.
In September 2021, the Maoming Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment issued instructions
for the pilot project of 1,000 tons/year polyolefin elastomer (POE) of Sinopec Maoming Branch.
Relevant announcements show that the main construction content of Maoming Petrochemical is a set of 1,000 tons/year polyolefin elastomer (POE) pilot plant
.
The public works and auxiliary works of the project rely on the existing construction projects
in the chemical plant area.
The total investment of the project is about 226.
73 million yuan, of which the environmental protection investment is about 730,000 yuan
.
The proposed products include 600 tons / year ethylene / 1-octene elastomer, 200 tons / year ethylene / 1-hexene elastomer, 200 tons / year ethylene / 1-butene elastomer
.

The 50,000 tons/year industrial plant has begun to apply for approval
.
On May 27, 2022, the Guangdong Provincial Energy Bureau announced that the main technical standards and construction plans adopted by the 50,000 tons/year polyolefin elastomer (POE) industrial test equipment project of Sinopec Maoming Branch meet the requirements of relevant national energy-saving regulations and energy-saving policies, and agree in principle to the energy-saving report of
the project.
The main construction content of the project includes raw material refining and feeding unit, catalyst configuration unit, polymerization unit, polymer volatilization unit, granulation unit, monomer and solvent recovery unit, etc.
, and the main equipment includes reactor, tower, heat transfer oil furnace, refrigeration machine, agitator, heat exchanger and pump
。 Project energy consumption and main energy efficiency indicators: after the project is completed and put into operation, the annual comprehensive energy consumption is not higher than 33645 tons of standard coal (equivalent value), of which the annual power consumption is not higher than 24.
49 million kWh, and the steam consumption of 1.
5MPa is not higher than 112,000 tons; the comprehensive energy consumption of the project's polyolefin elastomer products is not higher than 748.
61 kg of standard coal / ton
