Zhenhua Petrochemical¡®s Propane Dehydrogenation and Epoxypropane Phase II Project Started
2025-2-26
On the morning of February 24th, the on-site promotion meeting for the construction of major projects for high-quality development in spring 2025 at the provincial and municipal levels was held. The sub venue of Dongying Port Economic Development Zone is located at the site of Dongying Port Chemical New Material Extension and Strong Chain Demonstration Project.
Dongying Port Economic Development Zone witnessed the launch of 25 projects with a total investment of 18.3 billion yuan and an annual investment of 9.3 billion yuan, including 5 new material projects such as Zhenhua Propane Dehydrogenation and Epoxy Propane Phase II, Special Epoxy Resin and other high-end chemical projects.
It is reported that Zhenhua¡äs 750,000 tons/year propane dehydrogenation unit was put into operation in August 2024, most possibly a 300/670,000 tons/year PO/SM combined unit.
The first phase of Zhenhua Petroleum¡äs propane dehydrogenation and epoxy propane project plans to invest 12.36 billion yuan, covering an area of 1466 acres, mainly developing 750,000 tons/year propane dehydrogenation unit, 300/670,000 tons/year PO/SM combined unit, and 200,000 tons/year maleic anhydride unit.
The propane dehydrogenation unit in the project adopts the Oleflex process from Honeywell UOP, boasting the advantages of low hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio, low energy consumption, and long catalyst operating cycle. The PO/SM unit adopts the largest co oxygen production process in China, which not only effectively overcomes the serious pollution and corrosion caused by traditional processes, but also further enhances the diversity and economy of products.
