2025-9-11

On August 22nd, the transportation task of the first ethylene quench oil tower equipment for the CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals¡¯ Huizhou Phase III ethylene project was successfully completed.
The CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals¡¯ Huizhou Phase III Ethylene Project is totally invested at about 52.1 billion yuan, with a core of 1.6 million tons/year ethylene cracking unit. It will develop 18 sets of chemical plants, public works and integrated facilities.
The specific facilities include a 1.6 million ton/year ethylene plant, a 305,000 ton/year butadiene extraction plant, a 1.46 million ton/year pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation plant, a 1.1 million ton/year aromatics extraction plant, a 645,000 ton/year ethylene oxide ethylene glycol (EO-EG) plant, a 600,000 ton/year metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) plant, a 400,000 ton/year linear alpha olefin (LAO) plant, a 130,000 ton/year isomerization and disproportionation (ID) plant, a 130,000 ton/year Shell hydroformylation (SHF) plant, a 50,000 ton/year poly alpha olefin (PAO) plant, a 500,000 ton/year polypropylene (PP) plant, a 1 million ton/year ethylbenzene (EB) plant, and an 875,000/400,000 ton/year styrene epichlorohydrin plant. SM-PO plant, 450,000 tons/year polyether polyol (DMC-POD) plant, 100,000 tons/year polymer polyol (POP-POD) plant, 270,000/80,000 tons/year MTBE plant/ Butene-1 plant, along with supporting storage and transportation engineering, utilities, auxiliary engineering and environmental protection engineering facilities.
