Shenhua Ningxia Coal’s 450 000 T/A PE Unit Yields On-spec Product

Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group’s 450 000 t/a polyethylene (PE) plant, phase II of the company’s coal-to-liquid (CTL) project, yielded on-spec PE granules recently, marking that the PE plant is ready for operation.
The plant, employing the UnipolTM PE Process developed by Univation Technologies, has a designed capacity of 450 000 t/a of HDPE/LDPE. Sinopec Ningbo Engineering has undertaken the basic and detailed designs and procurement services for the plant.
By employing the advanced cracking process to produce ethylene and propylene, the phase II olefin project, mainly fed by naphtha and LPG, by-products of CTL and coal-to-olefin (CTO) units, is designed to produce 580 000 t/a of polypropylene, 430 000 t/a of PE, 64 000 t/a of butadiene, 59 000 t/a of mixed benzene and 130 000 t/a of synthesized ammonia.
