PetroChina focuses on "reducing oil and increasing chemicals" and optimizing product structure, and makes every effort to promote the high-quality development of refining and chemical business. All refining and chemical enterprises have seized the first period to promote the construction of key projects to speed up, improve quality and efficiency, and inject strong impetus into improving the overall competitiveness and sustainable development of the petrochemical industry and promoting the upgrading of regional economy and industry.
On February 27, Guangdong Petrochemical's 20 million tons of oil refining, 1.2 million tons of ethylene and 2.6 million tons of paraxylene refining and chemical integration project opened up the whole process and produced all qualified products, entering the stage of full production. On March 28, the Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Transformation and Upgrading Project started construction. On September 28, the second phase of the 1.2 million tons of ethylene project in Tarim of Dushanzi Petrochemical was officially launched. In addition, 28 sets of new construction and reconstruction (expansion) units of Jilin Petrochemical refining and chemical transformation and upgrading project have started construction of 24 sets as planned.
Guarding the "quiet years" of the refining aircraft carrier
Narrator: Zou Fang, operator of the second shift of continuous reforming unit of the fourth production department of Guangdong Petrochemical Refining Production
On December 16, the blue and white shuttle bus drove smoothly on the eighth refining road of the Guangdong Petrochemical Plant as always. The orange-red weather vane next to the waste heat boiler flutters gently in the wind, and occasionally a bird or two flies by and stops, the water flows slowly, and the green grass is verdant. "It's nice to work for a company like this!"Every time I pass by that familiar stretch of road, I always feel this way in my heart.
The five-in-one plant where I am located is an indispensable "transportation hub" in production. Our product depentane oil is the main raw material for the production of high-quality xylene, and our plant is also a major hydrogen supplier for hydrogenation units. I remember one day in April, the pressure difference between the feed filter of the unit was sharp without warning**, and the liquid level of the feed buffer tank was also dropping simultaneously. "Oh no, is the filter blocked?".Outside the outside operation, immediately to the position of the reforming two feed buffer tank, cut the filter, hurry up!Hurry up!"The four internal operators in our central control room picked up their respective walkie-talkies almost at the same time, and they all wanted to notify the external operators as quickly as possible. At that time, we were extremely nervous, because if the filter was blocked, the continuous reforming unit would be shut down, which would lead to the reduction of the vast majority of the entire refining system, and some hydrogen units would also face the risk of shutdown. This is the first time since our plant was put into operation that there has been a major emergency incident, which has overwhelmed all of our employees. Fortunately, we have a detailed plan, and the cadres and employees handled it properly, and solved the problem without danger.
After experiencing this emergency, I suddenly understood that behind the "quiet years" of this beautiful factory is the careful protection of each of us. Especially when the whole project was put into production not long ago, the production operation was full of many unknown situations. Employees and devices are like comrades-in-arms, and they need to understand and run in with each other more deeply in order to better fight side by side.
With the joint efforts of all employees of the company, good news continues to come: since it was put into operation at the end of February this year, Guangdong Petrochemical has processed more than 15 million tons of products, and the total number of products has reached more than 12 million tonsIn addition to the domestic market, the products are also exported to Southeast Asia and EuropeJieyang City, where we are located, has also dominated the top three cities in Guangdong Province in terms of GDP growth for several months because the project has been put into operation. Ensuring the stability of the device is our greatest contribution to ensuring the stability of the South China market and ensuring the national energy security.
