"The million-ton ethylene project took only 22 months from the laying of the first foundation pile to the mid-term delivery. We have exceeded the acceleration of the construction cycle of projects of the same scale in the entire petrochemical industry." Zhang Qiang, deputy general manager of Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical Company, said. Backed by an excellent port and with complete berths, the reporter came to Yangpu Economic Development Zone in Hainan Province on June 27. Outside the coconut tree rainforest and sunny beach, he felt the vitality of Hainan's petrochemical industry.
On February 21 this year, the million-ton ethylene project of Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical Company was completed and put into operation. Two months later, the new 170,000-ton/year styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer project of Hainan Baling Chemical New Materials Co., Ltd., located only 3 kilometers away from the project, was successfully put into operation at the first attempt, producing qualified thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber products.
"In the past, the raw materials of downstream enterprises had to be transported by sea, but now we directly use pipelines to transport them, the logistics cost is greatly reduced, and the industrial cluster effect is accelerating." In Zhang Qiang's view, industrial clusters are not only reflected in the construction of complete upstream and downstream industries The chain realizes interconnection and maximizes the effect of cooperation through the sharing of resources between enterprises in storage, docks, tank farms, etc., and Yangpu Economic Development Zone just provides such an opportunity.
In recent years, relying on location advantages and industrial planning, Yangpu Economic Development Zone has preliminarily established an industrial chain for oil and gas processing and warehousing trade; new chemical materials, crude oil, refined oil, LNG reserves, port logistics and other supporting industries have been developed; production, storage, trade and service Integrated development, approved as the only petrochemical industry foreign trade transformation and upgrading base in the country; built four industrial clusters of refining, aromatics, olefins, and new petrochemical materials led by Hainan Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. with an annual output of 9.2 million tons. forming.
In the future, with the acceleration of policy dividends in Hainan Free Trade Port, Yangpu Economic Development Zone will use the incremental resources of the petrochemical industry to achieve intensive, high-end, intelligent, green, and international development, and complete the "raw materials-materials- The overall layout of the product-application new material industry chain will create a high-end green chemical new material industry base.
"In the next step, Hainan Refining and Chemical will make full use of the location advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port to further enhance the level of internationalization." Zhang Qiang said that as the leader of Hainan's industry, Hainan Refining and Chemical will continue to play the role of "chain length" and insist on "serving Hainan Island, Expand the industrial hinterland and integrate into Southeast Asia" strategic goal to enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises.
