Different from a previous chemical plant producing a product, Jilin Petrochemical's expansion of the ethylene oxide project is based on the company's original ethylene glycol plant. After the project is completed, it can produce both ethylene oxide and B. Diol, which can increase production of 50,000 tons of ethylene oxide, will increase the company's annual production capacity of ethylene oxide to 110,000 tons.
It is understood that the ethylene oxide products produced by Jilin Petrochemical are mainly supplied to the local market. According to the person in charge of the company, the company is located in Jilin City and has the responsibility to contribute its own strength to the local downstream deep-processing enterprises.
In recent years, through investment promotion, many overseas groups such as Jiangsu Yida and Liaoning Aoke Group have developed deep processing products based on Jilin Petrochemical's ethylene oxide products. Due to changes in the market and the total amount of ethylene oxide in Jilin Petrochemical, many of these companies encountered the dilemma of insufficient supply of ethylene oxide, the main raw material needed for production.
Ethylene oxide is an inflammable and explosive chemical product. It is not easy to transport long distances, but the market demand is optimistic. Even if it is affected by the global financial crisis last year, the economic efficiency will remain upwards. At present, ethylene oxide produced by Jilin Petrochemical has formed a fixed customer base mainly in the northeastern region, covering more than 20 provinces, cities and regions in the country, while ethylene glycol shows signs of excess. This is an important reason for Jilin Petrochemical's construction of ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol cogeneration projects. After the project is completed, it can not only meet the needs of local enterprises, but also change the single situation of Jilin Petrochemical's installation products. According to market conditions, it can switch product categories at any time, so as to obtain greater economic benefits.
Jilin Petrochemical Ethylene Oxide Project Helps Local Economic Development
Since November, the Jilin Petrochemical Company's ethylene glycol plant has jointly increased production of ethylene oxide projects. This project is a key project of Jilin Petrochemical this year. After the project is completed, it can effectively relieve the raw material tightness of the downstream deep-processing enterprises of ethylene oxide and help boost the local economy.
