    Sinopec announced on November 17 that its key project "Technology Development and Industrial Application of Light Crude Oil Cracking to Ethylene" was successfully tested in its Tianjin Petrochemical Industry, which can directly convert crude oil into ethylene, propylene and other chemicals (ie "oil conversion").


    According to Sinopec, the crude oil steam cracking technology for industrial application this time is one of the routes of "oil conversion".


    The technology was developed and engineered by Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry and Engineering Construction Co.


    It is reported that ethylene is known as the "mother of the petrochemical industry" and is an important symbol to measure the development level of a country's petrochemical industry


    Previously, in April 2021, the crude oil catalytic cracking technology independently developed by Sinopec Research Institute of Petrochemical Engineering, another "oil conversion" technology route, achieved the world's first industrial application in Yangzhou, making China the world's crude oil catalytic cracking technology.


    Wang Zizong, deputy chief engineer of Sinopec, revealed that in the next step, Sinopec plans to carry out the development and engineering design of a complete set of technology for ethylene production by steam cracking one million tons of crude oil at Tahe Refinery in Xinjiang, and build an "oil conversion" industrial demonstration unit
