Gas Fractionation Unit Conducts Intermediate Handing-over       

The 120 000 t/a gas fractionation unit, the first unit of Fujian refining and ethylene project, was conducted intermediate handing-over on August 31st, 2007. The construction of the unit was launched on January 18th, 2007.
    Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Company Limited started functioning on June 12th. It processed 496 500 tons of crude oil by the end of July. The 120 000 t/a gas fractionation unit will contribute to the increase of the propylene and polypropylene output and the generation of economic returns in the company.
    The installation of the new refining unit in the project is in full swing today. Large equipment has started hoisting. The work on equipment foundation in propylene and polypropylene units is basically completed and the construction of buildings and steel structures has started. The pile foundation work in the ethylene unit and the IGCC unit is at the finishing stage and the work on equipment foundation is unfolded in an all-round way. The installation of tanks in some tank farms is making smooth progress. The 300 000 t/a crude oil terminal in Qinglanshan is further conducting the installation of bridge surfaces, box girders and steel structures.
