DETAILS
TechnipFMC’s technology and design
are part of CSPCL’s 1.0 MTPA cracker
which recently passed all performance tests.
The tests confirm that the performance targets
for the furnaces and recovery section have been met.
TechnipFMC’s scope included
* the technology and
* front-end engineering design for the cracker
and the design of the 9 furnaces.
This new ethylene cracker
will more than double
the current production level
at the Nanhai petrochemical complex.
The furnaces are designed to crack
* ethane, Light Naphtha, Heavy Naphtha,
Hydrocoked Naphtha and Refinery Dry Gas
as well as other feedstocks
and to produce
** polymer grade ethylene and
** polymer grade propylene
which are the basic materials for making
*** ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, propylene oxide
and high-quality polyol and polyolefins.
The work was executed by
the company’s operating center in Houston, Texas, USA.
Houston is also the headquarters for
TechnipFMC Process Technology,
a global network of centers which look after
the company’s expanding portfolio
of onshore process technologies in
petrochemicals, refining, hydrogen and syngas,
polymers, gas monetization and renewables.
The CSPCL Nanhai complex is
the largest single-site complex in China(1).
As a 50/50 joint venture between CNOOC and Shell,
the complex is the largest Sino-foreign joint venture
in history.
Located in the Guangdong Province,
CSPCL was designed to produce more and better
chemical products
to help meet the growing domestic demand.
