PetroChina Sichuan Petrochemical Co Ltd is setting up a new integrated refining and petrochemicals complex at its unit near Chengdu, Sichuan Province. PetroChina has selected UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, to provide technology, basic engineering services, and equipment for the new plant. The new plant is expected to produce 600,000 tonne/y of p-xylene using the UOP Parex process, and more than 350,000 tonne/y of benzene. The aromatics complex will get its feedstock from a new UOP Unicracking process unit producing 2.2 M tonne/y of heavy gas oil from crude oil and converting it to diesel, kerosene, and naphtha. The p-xylene complex will have a UOP CCR Platforming process unit to convert naphtha to aromatics and hydrogen, a UOP Isomar process unit to convert other xylenes to pxylene, and a UOP Tatoray process unit to increase the yield of p-xylene and benzene.
