2010 will be the year of restructuring of the petrochemical industry. Optimizing the industrial layout, eliminating outdated production capacity and realizing industrial upgrading will become the main line, and this will bring about profound changes that will affect the future development of the petrochemical industry.
Seize the opportunity to change the way of development
At present, China's petrochemical industry has entered a period of rapid development characterized by structural adjustment and industrial upgrading.
In December 2009, Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemical's 10-million-ton refinery process was fully operational, with a crude oil processing capacity of 15 million tons per year. This is another major development of China's large-scale oil refining base after the Huizhou Refinery, Dushanzi Petrochemical, and Fujian Refining and Chemical Integration projects were put into operation last year.
Zhao Jungui, vice president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, said in an interview with reporters that since last year, China’s petrochemical industry seized the favorable opportunity of the slowdown in demand caused by the international financial crisis, actively changed its development methods, and vigorously adjusted its industrial structure, achieving gratifying results.
It is understood that for many years, the basic chemical raw material industry has always occupied a leading position in the chemical industry, but in the past two years, this pattern is changing. In 2009, the special chemicals industry ranked first in the development of chemical sub-sectors with a production value of 963.32 billion yuan and a growth rate of 16.8%. The output value of the synthetic materials industry ranked third. The rapid increase in the proportion of these two industries in production in the chemical industry indicates that the industrial and product mix adjustments have achieved initial results and are moving in the direction of higher technological content and higher added value.
He said that the current petrochemical industry in China has entered a period of rapid development characterized by structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. For a long time, the small scale, large quantity, and unreasonable layout of petrochemical companies have contributed to the lack of competitiveness of China's petrochemical industry.
Zhao Jungui pointed out that the petrochemical industry is a resource- and technology-intensive industry and has a high demand for industrial agglomeration. The decentralized industrial layout will cut the links between the upstream and downstream industries and weaken the development potential of the industry. Second, if large-scale petrochemical projects are far away from ports, they will increase transportation costs and, in the long run, will weaken the international competitiveness of China's petrochemical industry. Third, the petrochemical industry has high requirements for safety and the environment, and the scattered industrial layout will be detrimental to the establishment of public environmental protection and firefighting facilities, which is not conducive to reducing production costs.
Relevant experts stated that since the second half of 2008, the development of the petrochemical industry in China has encountered severe difficulties, both as a result of the impact of the international financial crisis and as a result of irrational industrial structures and other in-depth problems. For these reasons, the adjustment of China's petrochemical industry is imperative. In the coming years, structural adjustment will remain an important theme for the development of the industry.
“The industrial concentration of the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Rim has further increased, and a number of 20 million tons/year integrated production bases have been formed.†Guiding Opinions on Structural Adjustment of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Organized by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association "Clearly pointed out.
Relying on major projects to optimize the layout
Improving industrial concentration is the final goal of combining major projects with adjusting industrial layout.
The "Petrochemical Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan" pointed out that the combination of the implementation of major projects and the adjustment of industrial layout. Zhao Jungui believes that increasing industrial concentration is the ultimate goal of combining major projects with adjusting industrial layout.
He said that based on the high correlation between the oil and chemical industries and the long industrial chain, enterprises should be encouraged to optimize their integration and build an industrial structure conducive to the coordinated development of the upper and lower reaches.
Adhere to the implementation of major projects, leading and dominant enterprises should be further strengthened, and the organizational structure of enterprises should be gradually optimized. The "Guiding Opinions on the Structural Adjustment of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry" pointed out that by 2015, the average size of refineries and ethylene plants across the country will reach and exceed the world average respectively. Nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides, chlor-alkali, calcium carbide and other industries have eliminated a lot of backward production capacity, reduced the number of enterprises, and increased industrial concentration. They have cultivated a group of famous brand leading enterprises, significantly increased the proportion of sales revenue of the top 100 enterprises in the industry, and further expanded sales revenue. The number of companies that have passed 100 billion yuan.
At the same time, the SMEs that are not suitable for phase-out and with reservation value will be specially trained to form a new situation in which large and medium-sized enterprises coexist, complement each other, and have their own strengths.
Large-scale petrochemical enterprises in China are committed to continuously expanding their production scale. Take Sinopec as an example, oil and gas exploration and development have been steadily increased in recent years, and efforts have been made to increase the supply of crude oil. In the three years from 2007 to 2009, 8.2 billion tons of newly discovered proved petroleum geological reserves and 130 million tons of recoverable petroleum reserves were added; ethylene was added in 2009. The production capacity is 2 million tons, the synthetic resin production capacity is 2.3 million tons, and the synthetic fiber raw material production capacity is 500,000 tons.
Guided by a series of policies and measures introduced by the state, the new round of adjustment of the petrochemical industry has begun. The Guidance Opinions on the Structural Adjustment of the Petroleum and Chemical Industry suggest that by 2015, the degree of industrial concentration in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Rim will further increase, and a number of 20 million tons/year integrated production bases will be formed. Resource products such as chemical fertilizers, methanol and calcium carbide are concentrated in raw material production areas, and the proportion of fertilizers and calcium carbide in the main production areas has increased to 60% and 70% respectively. Fine chemicals such as paints and dyes and new chemical materials are concentrated in the place of consumption, forming a number of industrial parks that are closely linked to the market and have different characteristics.
Make great efforts to promote industrial upgrading
Eliminating outdated production capacity and technological advancement are the two most important supports for the upgrading of the petrochemical industry
In Zhao Jungui's opinion, the adjustment process of industrial layout is also a process of upgrading petrochemical industry.
"The elimination of backward production capacity and technological advancement are the two most important supports for the upgrading of the petrochemical industry," said Zhao Jungui.
The “Regulation of Petrochemical Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan†stipulates that the oil refining industry should adopt a regional equivalent replacement method, eliminate 1 million tons or less of inefficient low-quality backward oil refining equipment, and actively guide 1 million to 2 million tons of oil refining equipment to shut down and switch. Prevent the construction of new oil refining projects in the name of asphalt, heavy oil processing, etc.
While phasing out backward production capacity, we must continue to accelerate the combination of technological innovation and the promotion of independent innovation. We will increase the absorption of imported technologies to promote industrial technological progress; strengthen technological transformation and promote the systematic and integrated technology of petrochemical industries; strengthen the research and development of key and cutting-edge technologies, and enhance the ability of independent innovation to support industrial development.
Relevant person in charge of Sinopec told reporters that in 2009, Sinopec actively promoted the refining and chemical distribution and structural adjustment, vigorously developed high value-added products, and continuously enhanced the competitive advantage of refining and chemical industries. In 2009, new refining capacity was 16 million tons, new ethylene capacity was 1 million tons, and major projects such as the Tianjin Ethylene Project and Fujian Ethylene Refinery Integration were actively promoted.
At the same time, Sinopec Corp. relied on a batch of refined oil product quality upgrading and transformation projects, actively adjusted the product mix, increased the proportion of medium-to-high-grade products, and promoted product upgrading and upgrading of oil products.
By simplifying the technological process, implementing thermal integration between units, and hot feeding, adopting high-performance catalysts and new processes, and making full use of existing facilities, Sinopec further reduced the energy consumption of devices and optimized the construction investment of compressed projects, with less Investment, advanced energy consumption indicators, lower operating costs, oil quality upgrades. After the completion of the above measures, the production of Euro III standard gasoline accounts for 64%, and Euro IV standard gasoline accounts for 36%. Among them, the proportion of high-grade gasoline is 75%.
Zhao Jungui stated that to speed up the adjustment of the petrochemical industry, we should first raise awareness of the importance of industrial adjustment. We should consider the overall development of the country and the development of the industry so that all parties can form a concerted effort. Second, while the government strengthens the scientific approval, it should Organize industry associations to strengthen scientific planning and research, and impose mandatory regulations on projects that are not conducive to the long-term development of petrochemical projects, which are detrimental to safety and resources and environmental protection; and thirdly, in the institutional planning for the development of the petrochemical industry, investment, financing and fiscal policies should be improved. , land and other related supporting policies to improve the environmental protection and safety aspects of petrochemical projects.
