“Bigger” is for “Extension”—Zhenhai Refinery and Refinery Project

As soon as the reporter entered the production area of ​​Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd., it was immediately attracted by the tall, modern refinery.
According to the relevant personnel of the company, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical has a primary oil processing capacity of 20 million tons/year and an integrated processing capacity of 18.5 million tons/year crude oil, which has become China's largest crude oil processing base, imported crude oil processing base, and sulfur-containing crude oil processing. Base, export base of refined oil and one of the important crude oil distribution centers.
During the tenth five-year plan period, Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals further expanded the scale of oil refining. Through reform and expansion, the once-daily crude oil processing capacity of Zhenhai Refining & Chemical has reached 20 million tons/year. Last year, the actual oil refining exceeded 16 million tons, accounting for approximately Sinopec. 10% of the country, 6% of the country; profitability ranks first in China's oil refining industry. As of the end of 2004, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical had total assets of 15.89 billion yuan, including net assets of 11.57 billion yuan, and the asset-liability ratio remained at a relatively good level. In the "Top 100 Listed Companies in China" 2004 published in the Chinese version of Fortune magazine, Zhenhai Refinery ranked 13th. According to the performance evaluation report of Salomon Consulting Co., Ltd., Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's competitiveness ranks among the top 72 refineries in the Asia-Pacific region. 'The processing means are fully equipped and have strong processing capacity for high (including) sulfur crude oil, representing the advanced level of China's oil refining industry. '
Chief of the technology development section of Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Management Department, Hong Bo, participated in Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's “15” refinery renovation and expansion project. He said that every previous project of the company focused on the development and application of new technologies and autonomous technologies. In the renovation and expansion project of the township refinery, most of the equipment is domestic equipment. In some key process designs, the company's own research and development process routes are adopted, and bold introduction of resource utilization characterized by low exploitation, high utilization, and low emission. The model has emerged from the road of a comprehensive utilization of internal recycling economy in a refinery and chemical industry.
Zhenhai Refinery has implemented hundreds of cleaner production programs, and environmental protection investment accounts for 11% of the total investment. Through the use of sulfur-containing waste water, the industrial waste water is recycled after being treated appropriately, used in circulating water, and all the hydrogen gas is collected for reuse, the water resources, gas resources, petroleum refining by-products and solid resources are the four largest resources. Reuse of limits not only protects the environment but also brings considerable economic benefits.
At present, the sulphur recovery rate of Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's sulphur production facilities is more than 99.8%, which effectively controls the total amount of sulphur dioxide emissions, the scale of wastewater reuse reaches 600 tons/hour, and the reuse rate of effluent wastewater reaches more than 90%. Close to the goal of zero discharge of refinery industrial wastewater. After optimization of the process and the transformation of the original installations, Zhenhai Refining currently reduces the fresh water consumption per ton of crude oil to 0.54 tons, and the tons of crude oil sewage discharges has been reduced to 0.18 tons, reaching the international advanced level. At present, under the circumstances that the processing volume of crude oil has doubled, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical's emission concentration of sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand have been significantly reduced, and production and pollution reduction have been achieved. Now, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical has become one of the first eight companies to obtain the title of “National Environmental Friendly Enterprise”. It is the only company that won this honor in Sinopec and Zhejiang Province.
After Zhenhai Refinery expanded the refinery, it had a strong driving effect on the downstream industry. Some products were also delivered to enterprises outside the province through pipelines, such as Shanghai Secco's 900,000 tons/year ethylene project. The naphtha used was Zhenhai Lian. Through the subsea pipeline.
In addition, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical also actively expands the chemical products downstream of the refinery and currently has 600,000 tons/year of urea, 500,000 tons/year of paraxylene, and 200,000 tons/year of polypropylene production capacity. Among them, the paraxylene project was listed as a key project of Zhejiang Province's '15'. Zhenhai Refining and Chemicals attaches great importance to the chemical product market. During the tenth Five-Year Plan period, it began to adjust the market. In line with the principle of 'bigger oil refining and expanding chemical industry', it continuously develops and produces high-value-added products, and its Donghai brand asphalt has become a domestic product. The only road asphalt brand that entered the F1 track.
