Two-pronged approach to supply-side reform of the petrochemical industry

The "13th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period for the transformation and development of the petroleum and chemical industries
.
In this regard, the petrochemical industry should drive the transformation and upgrading of the industry with supply-side reforms
.
On the one hand, the industry must be driven by innovation to achieve high-end development, develop emerging fields, and create new economic growth points; on the other hand, it must optimize existing resources with intelligent manufacturing and eliminate backwards, and enhance the level of industry intensification
.
This is what the reporter learned from the 2016 China Petrochemical Development and Innovation Forum opened in Shanghai on June 2
.
"To promote the supply-side structural reforms of petrochemicals and chemicals, we should focus on the addition and subtraction of industrial production capacity and the enhancement of the nature of the industry
.
Specifically, it is necessary to eliminate backward production capacity, lock the development direction in emerging areas, and create new economic growth.
Point
.
” said Bai Yi, deputy dean of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute
.
Qu Jingping, president of East China University of Science and Technology, believes: “New chemical materials, biochemical industry, energy conservation and environmental protection, modern coal chemical industry, etc.
should be the key development areas, and they will also become new growth points
.
” Regarding how to promote supply-side reforms, petroleum and Chemical companies also have their own experiences
.
Liu Xunfeng, Chairman of Shanghai Huayi Chemical Group Co.
, Ltd.
, said that supply-side reform requires enterprises to accelerate their transformation and adjustment.
The supply-side reform of Huayi Group mainly starts from two aspects.
On the one hand, it optimizes business portfolio and upgrades energy, chemical, advanced materials, The proportion of downstream products in the field of fine chemicals and other fields.
On the other hand, with the construction of smart manufacturing demonstration factories as the core, an intelligent manufacturing system of "manufacturing + Internet" is formed, and the transformation from "manufacturer" to "system solver" is promoted
.
Qin Weizhong, general manager of Sinopec Jiujiang Branch, also believes that as the new generation of information technology penetrates into the manufacturing industry, through the implementation of intelligent manufacturing to break through the management bottleneck, promote quality and efficiency, transformation and upgrading, and connotative development, it is the "13th Five-Year" petrochemical industry.
An important part of the supply-side reform of the industry
.
At present, Jiujiang Petrochemical has built the first integrated optimization platform for the entire refining process in China.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, they will realize the upgrading of traditional petrochemical enterprises and move towards an intelligent management and control model.

.
In an interview with reporters, Li Hongguo, chairman of China Chemical Exchange, said that "Internet +" can penetrate into various fields such as production, transportation, sales, and warehousing of chemical companies
.
The petrochemical industry should use "Internet +" as an important means to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and integrate resources, and provide a big data foundation for the supply-side reform of the entire industrial chain to improve the competitiveness of the industry
.
Zheng Daqing, senior vice president of BASF, pointed out that for companies, supply-side reforms should focus on production efficiency to achieve low cost, high conversion rate, good products, and low consumption
.
On the one hand, the industry must optimize and strengthen the optimization of production processes, products and raw materials; on the other hand, it must adhere to the innovation of the entire industry chain, develop downstream and personalized products, and meet market needs
.
"During the '13th Five-Year Plan' period, the industry must promote supply-side reforms, and also pay attention to the cultivation of talents, especially talents with superb skills and exquisite skills
.
" Hao Changjiang, president of the China Chemical Education Association, believes that the current chemical industry production personnel are medium and high-skilled.
The number of talents is insufficient, and there is an urgent need for highly skilled talents who can carry out creative work
