In May 2006, Yichang crude oil pipeline with an annual maximum oil transportation capacity of 30 million tons was connected, and the branch line leading to Wuhan Petrochemical had an annual maximum oil transportation capacity of 6,543,800 million tons. Since then, rolling crude oil has been continuously transported to oil refining enterprises along the Yangtze River through this underground "artery", which has created conditions for Wuhan Petrochemical to form a large-scale refining capacity of 8 8- 10/00000 tons and the construction of 800000 tons of ethylene.
In 2008, four sets of oil quality upgrading projects were completed and put into operation, including 5 million tons/year atmospheric pressure unit, 6,543.8+200,000 tons/year coking unit, 6,543.8+900,000 tons/year coal-diesel hydrogenation unit and 60,000 tons/year sulfur unit, which greatly improved the overall processing capacity of Wuhan Petrochemical Company from 5 million tons/year to 8.5 million tons/year.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces". Judging from the modernization process of a country and an industry, the combination of introducing and digesting advanced technology and independent innovation is the only way to ensure the development of enterprises.
Wuhan Petrochemical took the lead in introducing American pyrite technology to carry out heavy oil catalytic cracking reform, and also pioneered the catalytic dry gas hydrogen production technology in China. The first 75t/h circulating fluidized bed boiler burning petroleum coke was put into use, and vehicle gasoline took the lead in realizing lead-free in the same industry in China. The complete set of denitrogenation technology for lube base oil developed by Wuhan Petrochemical Company has brought great economic and social benefits to the petrochemical industry.
In recent years, Wuhan Petrochemical has made some achievements in technological progress. A large number of new technologies, new processes and new equipment were adopted in the first phase of oil refining transformation project, which improved the overall technical level of our company. Domestic vacuum deep drawing technology was adopted for the first time in the 5 million tons/year atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit. The operation for more than one year shows that the residue yield can be reduced by 3 ~ 5 percentage points. The final heat exchange temperature is above 3 10℃, and the energy consumption of the device is at an advanced level. The 60,000-ton/a sulfur recovery unit adopts the technology of burning ammonia by burners, which is matched with the atmospheric sewage stripping unit, and the energy consumption of sewage stripping is reduced by 60%. 10.9 million tons/year coal-diesel hydrogenation unit adopts domestic advanced ultra-deep desulfurization and hydrogenation catalyst, which can not only meet the requirements of producing clean diesel with Euro III standard at present, but also provide technical reserves for producing ultra-low sulfur diesel below 50ppm in the future. The large-scale domestic DCS system passed the technical appraisal organized by the headquarters for the first time.
After years of efforts, Wuhan Petrochemical has owned 12 technology invention patents and more than 20 provincial and ministerial scientific and technological achievements. Technological innovation makes the product structure of enterprises more reasonable and the product quality is obviously improved. Technological innovation has inserted wings for the development of enterprises.
On the basis of the original 90# gasoline, 0# diesel oil, polypropylene powder, liquefied gas and other products, Wuhan Petrochemical has successively developed new products such as 93#, 95#, 97# premium gasoline, jet fuel oil and polypropylene special material, and the proportion of high value-added products in product output is increasing.
In August 2007, Wuhan Petrochemical Company basically completed the system transformation. Wuhan Petrochemical Plant, a name that has been used for 30 years and condensed the passion, sweat, youth and dreams of several generations of petrochemical people in Wuhan, finally slowly withdrew from the historical stage. Carry forward the past and forge ahead, blaze new trails. The new Wuhan Petrochemical Company, composed of China Petrochemical Co., Ltd. Wuhan Branch and China Petrochemical Group Asset Management Co., Ltd., is far-sighted and promising.
At the end of 2007, the foundation stone was laid for the 800,000-ton ethylene project built by Wuhan Petrochemical Company. With a total investment of 654.38+0.47 billion yuan, it is estimated that 800,000 tons of ethylene 438+02 will be put into production in 2065, which will become the first large-scale ethylene project in Central China, the key project of China Petrochemical Company in the 11th Five-Year Plan and the No.1 project in Hubei Province. The 800,000-ton ethylene project in Wuhan, located on the south bank of Yangluo Bridge, 9 kilometers away from the old factory of Wuhan Petrochemical Company, is the core enterprise of Wuhan Chemical New City in the future. Its construction will fill the gap that there is no large-scale ethylene in Central China, improve the layout of ethylene industry in China, enhance the safety of petrochemical industry in China, further play the role of Wuhan as the economic center and regional economic development leader in Central China, and promote the development and technological progress of chemical, light industry, textile and other industries in Central China, which is of great significance to accelerating the development of Central China.
With the gradual realization of 8 million tons of oil quality upgrading project and 800,000 tons of ethylene project, a super-large enterprise integrating refining and chemical industry will soon become a reality in the hands of new and old petrochemical workers. Years are like songs, but Wuhan Petrochemical is always young. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China described the grand blueprint for building a well-off society in an all-round way, and Wuhan Petrochemical will stride forward in the spring breeze of scientific development and harmonious innovation!
