With a total investment of 68.5 billion yuan, the project will be constructed in two phases.
Phase I: The construction will include new facilities such as a 10 mt/a oil refinery, 1.4 mt/a ethylene plant, and downstream "industrial chain extension" projects for new chemical materials. This phase aims to establish a green, low-carbon, and efficient new-type integrated petrochemical complex.
Phase II: Upon full completion and operation, the Xizhong Island complex will ultimately achieve 20 mt/a refining capacity and 2.4 mt/a ethylene production capacity. This scale will be essentially equivalent to the current atmospheric and vacuum distillation capacity of Dalian Petrochemical Corporation. After relocation, the ethylene production capacity will increase by 900,000 tons.
