Chinese polyolefin should persist in exploring on the transformation of innovation

Polyolefin with excellent mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties of superior characteristics, can be widely used in packaging, electronics, electrical, automotive, machinery, agriculture and other areas, it is also the national economic industries indispensable tension material, especially with new craft of catalyst, polymerization and high-performance general materials, application field of polyolefin materials will be more extensive. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic thermoforming machine material, polyethylene, polypropylene is important three general polyolefin material. Has been especially is to face the polyolefin production in China and the development of new technologies, new products, but still can not satisfied the demand of the domestic market of domestic polyolefin materials, especially some high-end market and functional materials field, domestic polyolefin is a big board. In 2017, China's consumption of polyethylene plastic thermoforming machine material reached 26. 27 million tons, year-on-year increase in 9. 5%; With imports of 11. 79 million tons, 18. 6%. Cost increased 21. 88 million tons of plastic thermoforming machine material polypropylene, 4. 8%; With imports of 3. 18 million tons, increase by 5. 3%. In polyethylene segments, consume 5. 35 million tons of low density polyethylene, add 10. 2%; Including import 2. 37 million tons, 15. 7%. Consumption of 10. 55 million tons of high density polyethylene, increased by 13%; With imports of 6. 39 million tons, increase the 21st. 2%. Cost increased 8. 66 million tons of linear low density polyethylene, 4. 7%; Including import 3. 03 million tons, 15. 8%. The above products, the highest external dependency is high density polyethylene, more than 59%; Polyethylene, polypropylene aggregate deficit as high as $17. 3 billion. In addition, ethylene, propylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) imported also is increasing rapidly. To reverse adverse polyolefin industry current situation, to the development of high quality, should be on the transformation of innovation and cluster layout to explore energetically. Don't increase the intensity of innovation, & other; Low-end crowded, high-end lack & throughout; It will be difficult to change. Innovation is the first necessary to focus on is suitable for the existing assembly promoted transformation of the new technology. During his visit to the KBR we learned, combined with the existing steam cracking assembly of the new technology of selective cracking, can improve ethylene yield; Combined with existing catalytic cracking assembly and existing FCC assembly of new technology, can realize the material diversification, and propylene yield progress. The second is the material of olefin is an necessary attention. An olefin material is the development direction of modern petrochemical industry, the craft simple, the cost of the upper hand made manifest, especially as the U. S. shale gas revolution and the mass production of shale oil and gas web design quotation, in recent years, propane dehydrogenation to propylene to ethylene and ethane cracking of agile production capacity increase. China rapid heating up, ethane cracking ethylene last year is now under construction sinpo chemical in taixing assembled 1. 2 million tons/year, media reported plans to build another 7 sets of assembly. At present, China's imports from the United States ethane quantity is small, the late construction of ethane cracking assembly still propane dehydrogenation assembly, to demonstrate its material enough to stabilize the supply risk. Third necessary to focus on is the new technology of olefins in xi 'an personnel test registration, such as exxon mobil, the world's first set of crude oil directly to ethylene assembly, is said to have been in Singapore for operation optimization, the current technology allows the mishap. According to media reports, Saudi aramco and Chesapeake developed technology of crude oil directly to ethylene, plans to build 1 million tons/year industrial assembly. The other is a new technology of methane to olefin, dalian compound is high, Shanghai institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences in research and development, the project by dalian compound also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with sinopec and the Chesapeake. In addition, the United States Siluria oxidative coupling technology also has made some progress. China, of course, the development of polyolefin industry, but also focus on metallocene new polymerization process and polyolefin elastomers such as high-end products, to avoid product homogeneity and low level repeated construction. On industry layout, domestic polyolefin industry to forge a hangzhou bay industrial clusters in sichuan province personnel examination information network, the construction of the Chinese version of the gulf of Mexico polyolefin industry area. Zhoushan green petrochemical base of great development potential, with 40 million tons/year refinery steady progress and production of the project, along with zhenhai, daxie island, in ningbo area will form a processing capacity of the largest domestic crude oil refinery bases, especially by & other; More of less oil & throughout; Industry chain layout, a large number of olefins, aromatics for low organic chemicals, chemical new materials industry lay a solid material foundation. We to zhoushan green petrochemical base will become China's petrochemical power tension a very full of faith, look forward to zhoushan base raised clustering development, close and zhenhai, daxie island, far and jinshan, Shanghai chemical industry zone, further north and lianyungang, even south and daya bay, maoming, zhanjiang, large-scale petrochemical base in all planning and layout, as well as association, inclusions, and differentiation, aim at the international level, grasp the high-end positioning, make industrial clusters, to around 2035, the hangzhou bay area into a Chinese version of the gulf of Mexico polyolefin industry area, is worth looking forward to.
