The refining-chemical integration project of Shenghong Petrochemical Group in Xuwei of Lianyungang City, the largest private investment in Jiangsu’s manufacturing industry, made a new milestone in its construction on June 30.

Record-setting core distillation equipment completed the medium-term delivery on the day, marking the start of production preparation.

With a total investment of approximately 67.7 billion yuan and an annual crude oil processing capacity of 16 million tons, the project is poised to set a new record for the large scale in China. In addition to the use of leading technology and equipment, many devices are also of the largest in the world.

Yu Huiyong, general manager of Shenghong Refining & Chemical, said that the project forges a high-end petrochemical industry chain through an integrated refining and chemical development model. The use of leading technology also ensures the materials support to emerging industries of new energy and biotechnology.
