On October 8, the groundbreaking ceremony of the 27/600,000 tons/year propylene oxide/styrene (containing ethylbenzene) unit (referred to as POSM unit) of Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Transformation and Upgrading Project was held in Qinzhou Port.

Wang Shengwei, executive deputy general manager of Guangxi Petrochemical Company, and Zhu Guanlai, deputy general manager, attended the groundbreaking ceremony. The owner representative of Guangxi Petrochemical Company, the heads of Beijing Xingyou Supervision, Huanqiu Company, Liujian Company, and pile foundation units delivered speeches respectively. Relevant departments of Guangxi Petrochemical Company, Lanzhou Engineering Quality Supervision Station, Huanqiu Company and Liujian Company's Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Project attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

It is understood that the Guangxi Petrochemical Refining and Chemical Integration Transformation and Upgrading Project is a major project in the planning and layout of the national petrochemical industry. It is also a strategic project for PetroChina to promote "reducing oil and increasing chemical production" and adjust the structure. It is of great significance to adjust the petrochemical industry and structural layout in Guangxi and Qinzhou City. It is of great significance to improve the scale and concentration of the petrochemical industry and promote the optimization and upgrading of related processing industries.

The POSM unit of the Guangxi Petrochemical Project is the first set of similar units independently designed, purchased and constructed by PetroChina. It is of great significance to complete and build the POSM unit. This device is an important part of Guangxi Petrochemical's transformation and upgrading project. It improves downstream products, enriches the industrial chain, and is also representative for the overall implementation of the project. The POSM plant has a scale of 270,000 tons/year of propylene oxide and 600,000 tons/year of styrene, covering a total area of 151435 square meters and contains ethylbenzene, peroxide, epoxidation, PO refining, phenethyl alcohol dehydration, styrene refining, hydrogenation, environmental protection, public works and auxiliary facilities, furnace area, device tank area, on-site cabinet room, device substation and other units. The device has a large engineering volume and complex process, which puts forward high requirements for professional construction and management levels.

The commencement of the POSM unit is an important milestone in the transformation and upgrading project of Guangxi Petrochemical's refining and chemical integration. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, shoulder the mission, and move forward solidly. Next, the project department will establish a linkage management mechanism with all parties to fully fulfill the contract requirements and provide services wholeheartedly. At the same time, this project is a key project of Huanqiu Company and Liujian Company, and the joint team will strengthen the management and technical support for the project. During the project construction process, the project department will fully implement the requirements of national and local laws, regulations and owner management systems, comprehensively improve the overall planning and management of the project, strengthen the on-site process control capabilities and levels, and jointly maintain the safety red line, quality bottom line, and environmental protection high-voltage line to ensure Successfully complete the project construction goals, use global wisdom to build a monument to serve the country, and continue to write the glorious chapter of an energy power with the spirit of Iron Man.
