The Company’s Steam Cracker Debottleneck Project Passed the National Completion Acceptance


On November 29th, the completion acceptance for FREP Steam Cracker Debottleneck Project etc. total three projects was held in the exhibition hall of the Company. Mr. Gu Yuefeng, Chairman and President of the Company, Mr. Hu Hongye, director of Steam Cracker Debottleneck Project and Deputy General Manager of Fujian Petrochemical Company Limited, Mr. Zhao Tianxing, Operation General Manager, and Mr. Dai Dian from Sinopec Engineering Department were present at the meeting. The representatives of project design, construction and supervision units such as SEI, Sinopec Quality Supervision Station, SNEI and Beijing Huaxia Supervision Co., Ltd. participated at the meeting.

Through comprehensive evaluation, the review team of the completion acceptance committee believed that the overall layout and design of the three projects were reasonable, with advanced technology and good operation of equipment; according to the production assessment, all the indicators met the design requirements; the design, construction and commissioning of fire prevention, anti-lightning, environmental protection, safety and occupation disease prevention facilities were carried out simultaneously with the main projects, which all had passed the special inspections and acceptances; the engineering archives were complete and accurate, which had been sorted out and filed systematically and can meet the needs of production and management of the projects; the projects are in good quality; the final settlements had been audited and the fixed assets had been handed over. The operation was smooth since the units put into service and the profit was remarkable. Therefore, the completion acceptance for the three projects was approved.

Mr. Gu Yuefeng, director of the Completion Acceptance Committee, read the “Completion Acceptance Certificate” for the three projects and held a certificate signing ceremony.

Then, Mr. Gu Yuefeng and Mr. Hu Hongye demonstrated the “Completion Acceptance Certificate”.

At the meeting, Mr. Dai Dian, on behalf of Sinopec Engineering Department, expressed warm congratulations on the national acceptance of the FREP’s Steam Cracker Debottleneck and Supporting Project. He said that the Steam Cracker Debottleneck and Supporting Project was the key project of Sinopec as well as of Fujian province. The production of the project had proved that the main products’ output, quality, energy and material consumption and other indicators all met or surpassed the design requirements. With improved products structure and enhanced profitability of FREP, the targets of the project had been fully realized. He also fully recognized the efforts made by FREP in the process of project completion acceptance.

Mr. Gu Yuefeng, on behalf of the Committee, expressed gratitude to the project management personnel of the Company and the design, construction, supervision, inspection and other units. He said that the oil products quality upgrading and crude oil adaptability revamp were completed with small investment through these three projects, thus to produce high-quality fuel products meeting the national product quality requirements. At the same time, ethylene feedstock was further optimized and the adaptability to crude oil changes was improved; Through debottlenecking and expansion of Steam Cracker and its downstream units, the production of ethylene, propylene and butadiene were increased, as well as chemical production scale was expanded; the incremental ethylene from the debottleneck revamp was made full use in the newly built ethylene derivatives, thusly increased the types of chemical products, extended the industrial chain, improved the profit of the Company, as well give full play to the advantages of the integrated refining and chemical plant.

It is reported that the Steam Cracker Debottleneck and Supporting Project of FREP is the petrochemical industry cooperation project jointly set up and advanced by Sinopec and Fujian provincial government to promote the rapid development of the Economic Zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, and to achieve quality and profit improvement of the enterprise. The project consisted of three sub-projects, “Oil Products Quality Upgrading and Crude Oil Adaptability Revamp”, “Steam Cracker Debottleneck Revamp” and “New Chemical Units”. All the newly built and revamped units have achieved safe, stable, smooth and successful commissioning. Since the units put into operation in past two years, the operation and production have been safe and stable, and the units’ performance have reached or exceeded the design indicators, which played a key role for the Company’s profit improvement.
