On November 17, Sinopec announced that the key research project "Technology Development and Industrial Application of Light Crude Oil Cracking to Ethylene" was successfully tested in Tianjin Petrochemical Industry, which can directly convert crude oil into ethylene, propylene and other chemicals, realizing the crude oil steam cracking technology The first domestic industrial application
.
The technology has been developed and engineered by the Beijing Chemical Research Institute and Engineering Construction Company organized by Sinopec, and industrial tests have been carried out in Tianjin Petrochemical.
It has applied for 45 national invention patents and 1 international invention patent
.
It is understood that only ExxonMobil and Sinopec in the world have successfully realized the industrial application of this technology
.
It is estimated that for every 1 million tons of crude oil processed by this technology, nearly 500,000 tons of chemicals can be produced, including nearly 400,000 tons of high-value products such as ethylene, propylene, light aromatics and hydrogen.
The overall technology has reached the international advanced level and its economic value huge
.
Sinopec attaches great importance to the R&D and application of "oil conversion" technology
.
In April 2021, the Crude Oil Catalytic Cracking Technology independently developed by the Research Institute of Petrochemical Science, another "oil conversion" technology route, achieved the world's first industrial application in Yangzhou, and its chemical output was also about 50%.
China has become the world leader in crude oil catalytic cracking technology
.
Sinopec said that the combination of the above two technologies is expected to increase the total amount of chemicals produced from crude oil to more than 70%, which will become an economically feasible technical route for "oil conversion" in the future
.
In the next step, Sinopec plans to carry out the development and engineering design of a complete set of technology for producing ethylene by steam cracking of one million tons of crude oil in Tahe Refinery, and build an industrial demonstration unit for directly producing chemicals from crude oil
.
