With a total investment of 65.4 billion yuan, the project is petrochina's largest one-time investment project and its first world-class refinery and chemical integration base, covering 920 hectares, equivalent the size of 45 bird's nests.
The project has set a number of world records for petrochemical installations. Including 800kt/a styrene plant, 2.6 mt/a paraxylene plant, 500kt/a polypropylene plant, are the world's largest single set of similar devices.
After the project is put into operation, it is expected to increase the supply of synthetic resin products in Southern China by 2.5 million tons per year, which will reduce the external dependence of home appliances, electronics and other industries in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area on chemical raw materials.
