It was recently learned that the major special project of 'C8 Aromatic Hydrocarbon Production and Conversion Technology Development and Industrial Testing' jointly initiated by Liaoyang Petrochemical Company and the Petrochemical Research Institute, Kunlun Engineering Company, Fushun Petrochemical and other units has successfully passed the management department of China National Petroleum Corporation. The project proposal review.
Aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins are two pillar products of refineries. In recent years, the demand for aromatic PX (p-xylene) products in the domestic market has grown rapidly. Each year, China needs to import PX by nearly 60%. This major issue has been Industrialization of the benzene/heavy aromatic transalkylation technology to improve the optimization of 'toluene shape selective disproportionation technology development and amplification' 'Improvement of the development of two isomerization of C8 aromatics technology' and other three topics, Liaoyang Petrochemical is responsible for the first two topics Technical research.
In the review of project certification, the group of experts from the Group Company Consultation Center, the Planning General House, East China Design Institute, Tsinghua University, and China University of Petroleum strictly examined and reviewed the report and discussed the defense of the research group. They all agreed that the technical route of the project was innovative. Sex, content is practical and feasible, can provide technical support for low-cost production of PX.
