This project adopts China Petrochemical's super-low-pressure continuous reforming technology (SLCR) and domestic reforming catalyst PS-VI, using straight-run naphtha and mixed naphtha from the tank farm as raw materials to produce C6/C7 (carbon 6/carbon 7) fractions, mixed xylene, and high-octane gasoline components, and produce reforming hydrogen as a byproduct. A set of 1mt/a reforming, 400kt/a aromatics extraction, and 40,000 standard cubic meters/year reforming hydrogen purification units will be built, along with the construction of a new 5,000 cubic meters/hour cooling water tower, high-pressure and low-pressure flares, and an acid gas flare each.
Upon completion and put into operation, the company's gasoline product quality, energy consumption, and emissions will reach the leading level in China, meeting the requirements for product quality upgrading, increasing hydrogen supply and ensuring supply capacity. Currently, the project is underway for civil construction, ground pipelines, water supply and drainage, with the foundation construction completed at 85%, ground pipeline construction completed at 40%. The project is expected to be completed and handed over in mid-December 2024, with trial operation scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
