It is reported that this project is the first major petrochemical project solely invested by an American company in China, and it is also one of the billion-dollar projects introduced by Guangdong in recent years.
The products can be applied in multiple fields
It is reported that the first phase of ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Project includes a flexible feed steam cracking unit with an annual output of 1.6 million tons of ethylene, two high-performance linear low-density polyethylene units with an annual output of 1.2 million tons, a low-density polyethylene unit with an annual output of 500,000 tons, the world's largest monomer, and two differentiated high-performance polypropylene units with an annual output of 950,000 tons.
Ethylene is known as the "mother of the petrochemical industry" and is the most important basic raw material for organic chemicals. The polymers produced by the base can be used in consumer products such as packaging, automobiles, sanitary products and personal care, as well as other application areas.
Tan Ranke, Chairman of ExxonMobil China, said that the successful commissioning of ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Project is another important milestone in the company's commitment to maintaining manufacturing and technological leadership worldwide. The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, and set an excellent safety performance record.
According to the data, ExxonMobil is committed to operational excellence and promoting sustainable growth through research and development. The company's Daya Bay R&D Center focuses on the development of high value-added products and application solutions, process development, and collaborates with partners to enhance the value chain.
Daya Bay Development Zone ranks among the top in the country in terms of refining and chemical integration
Big projects drive big development. At present, the scale of refining and chemical integration in Daya Bay Development Zone in Huizhou, Guangdong ranks among the top in the country, and has been ranked first in China's chemical parks for six consecutive years. ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Project will inject strong impetus into Huizhou's efforts to build a global petrochemical industry highland, and provide strong support for Guangdong's construction of a World-class green petrochemical industry cluster
Huizhou Daya Bay Petrochemical Industrial Park also gathers international petrochemical giants such as Shell, BASF, and Clariant.
"The investment of Fortune 500 and industry-leading companies accounts for nearly 90%." The relevant person in charge of the Petrochemical Energy Industry Bureau of Huizhou Daya Bay Development Zone introduced that Daya Bay Development Zone has formulated a "investment map" based on the supply capacity of petrochemical raw materials, domestic and foreign market demand and industry technology trends, and carried out industrial chain investment promotion, focusing on extending, supplementing and strengthening the chain.
Data from the Huizhou Daya Bay Development Zone Business Environment and Investment Promotion Bureau shows that the petrochemical zone has settled 125 projects with a total investment of 332.4 billion yuan, forming advantageous industrial chains such as C2, C3, C4, aromatics, and electronic chemicals. In 2024, the Daya Bay petrochemical zone will achieve a total industrial output value of 267 billion yuan, an increase of 13.9%.
