China's first full-chain domestic 100kt/a solution-processed polyolefin elastomer (POE) industrial plant has entered a critical commissioning phase at Tianjin Petrochemical Corporation.
This technology has achieved a comprehensive domestic upgrade and improvement of the entire value chain, including catalysts, process technology, plant equipment, and automatic control systems. Meanwhile, Sinopec is accelerating the construction of its 100kt/a POE plant in Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company, and the domestic solution-processed POE production technology has entered a phase of full-scale capacity expansion.
The localization rate of equipment for the POE plant at Tianjin Petrochemical, which has now entered the commissioning phase, has been raised to 99%. This has promoted the improvement of the localization level of key equipment for high-performance synthetic materials and realized the full independent and controllable development of POE technology.
In the future, with the commissioning of the POE plants at Tianjin Petrochemical and Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company, Sinopec will have a POE production capacity of 250kt/a, helping to significantly reduce China's import dependence on POE.
