Shandong First 1,000kt/a Ethylene Project to Start Operation

Recently, Wanhua Chemical Group announces that the construction of Wanhua Chemical Yantai Industrial Park Phase II Project goes well, and it is estimated that this project will be put into operation in succession in H2, 2020.

Wanhua Chemical Yantai Industrial Park, which belongs to Wanhua Chemical Group, is the largest-scale, highest-level and most competitive production base in Asian-Pacific region, and the total investment of this project is about 110 billion RMB. Therein, the phase I project with the investment of 30 billion RMB has been put into operation in 2015.

After the phase II project to be put into operation, the major products include 1,000kt of ethylene and propylene, mixed C4, C6+, 400kt of PVC, 150kt of EO, 450kt of LLDPE, 300kt of PO, 650kt of styrene, 50kt of butadiene, etc.

Accordingly to sources, the phase II project will use the C3 and ethane resources from phase I as feedstock to produce ethylene, propylene, mixed C4, C6+, etc. Moreover, it will use the hydrogen chloride (HCI) from the phase I MDI project as feedstock to produce PVC, LLDPE, PO/SM, EO, butadiene and other downstream products.

In order to maintain stable feedstock supply, the phase II project includes 2*600,000 cbm propane storage tanks with the total investment of 1,552.57 million RMB.

Sources say that the construction of the 1,000kt/a ethylene project has been started in December 2018, and it is estimated that this project will be put into operation in H2, 2020.
