China's largest petrochemical industrial base has been fully completed.

On December 19, the second phase of the capacity expansion and high-end new materials project of SINOPEC's Zhenhai Refining and Chemical (ZRCC), a key project of Zhejiang Province's "14th Five-Year Plan", was fully mechanically completed, setting a number of records in the construction of domestic projects of the same size, including the most extensive application of independent innovation, the highest degree of intelligence, and the best energy saving and consumption reduction. So far, the refining capacity of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical has been increased to 40 million tons, making the total refining capacity of the Zhejiang Ningbo Petrochemical Base where it is located exceed 50 million tons, making it the largest, most technologically advanced, and most competitive world-class petrochemical industrial base in the country.

The Ningbo Petrochemical Industrial Base in Zhejiang is located in the Yangtze River Delta region and is a consumption center for downstream petrochemical products. The total investment in the Phase II capacity expansion and high-end new materials project of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical is 41.6 billion yuan, covering 18 units such as atmospheric distillation, catalytic cracking, polypropylene, and propane dehydrogenation. The new production capacity is fully focused on chemical processes, which will give rise to a number of high-value-added characteristic industrial chains such as "refining-propane dehydrogenation-propylene-acrylonitrile-ABS/methionine, refining-liquefied gas-isononanol-environmentally friendly plasticizers", focusing on the development of high-end polyolefins, high-end new materials, high-end chemicals and other products, which can provide nearly 8 million tons of related products to the downstream each year, providing strong support for the integrity and competitiveness of the industrial chain of advantageous industries such as automobiles, home appliances, and textiles in the Yangtze River Delta region, and driving the trillion-level output value of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.

The project has set multiple records and established industry benchmarks. It successfully achieved domestic production of 10 core equipment pieces, including the world's largest vertical labyrinth compressor. The project extensively implemented smart technologies, achieving simultaneous delivery of digital and physical factories, and deployed a fully independent domestic industrial operating system. It utilized the independently developed "Petrochemical Smart Cloud" industrial internet ecosystem platform to effectively support operational decisions and management. Additionally, the project was the first to comprehensively implement energy-saving measures, reducing overall energy consumption by approximately 11.7%. During the construction period, the project accumulated over 90 million continuous safe work hours, with a 100% quality pass rate for unit projects, setting a new industry standard.
