October 14, 2024 – The colossal Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project in Panjin, with a staggering total investment of 83.7 billion yuan, is steadily advancing at a robust pace. Since its inception, the project has witnessed remarkable progress in various construction tasks, with over half of the overall engineering work completed and the construction quality maintained at an impressive level.
Reportedly, since breaking ground on March 29th of the previous year, all 32 main units have commenced construction, and essential infrastructures such as trunk roads, main pipelines, and factory fencing have been successfully finalized. Currently, the construction of civil foundations and unit area pipelines is accelerating, while steel structure construction and equipment installation have also commenced in succession. To date, the project has invested a cumulative sum of 19.43 billion yuan, with the boiler construction of the power station unit underway amidst intense activity, and the installation of the crucial ethylene cracking furnace well initiated.
According to the Color Masterbatch Industry Network, the Huajin Aramco project site is bustling with organized activity, as over ten thousand constructors seize the winter construction golden period. They meticulously plan and organize their work, employing a reverse scheduling and visual progress tracking approach to propel all construction tasks forward. Not only are they swiftly advancing civil foundations and unit area pipeline construction, but they are also concurrently executing steel structure and equipment installation, ensuring that each project phase aligns with the predetermined milestone progress plan.
Furthermore, as a significant project under the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Saudi Arabia, the Huajin Aramco Fine Chemical and Raw Material Engineering Project has been incorporated into the national plan and has become a crucial link in the petroleum and petrochemical industry chain developed by China Northern Industries Group. Located in the Liaobin Coastal Economic and Technological Development Zone of Panjin, Liaoning Province, the project spans an area of 8.9 square kilometers and is anticipated to achieve mechanical completion by 2025. Upon implementation, the project will vigorously drive the construction of a series of upstream and downstream industrial chain supporting projects, fostering a new pattern of industrial agglomeration featuring high-end polyolefins, new materials, and new energy.
Additionally, the project encompasses a 15 million tons/year integrated refining unit and multiple chemical units, with the refining section comprising 20 process units and the chemical section encompassing 15 process units. The construction and commissioning of these units will further elevate the competitiveness and influence of China’s petroleum and petrochemical industry.
