據(jù)烴加工新聞12月15日消息稱，雪佛龍菲利普斯化學(xué)公司今天宣布計劃通過 FID 擴(kuò)大其丙烯業(yè)務(wù)，用于新的 C3 分離器裝置。該設(shè)備將位于得克薩斯州Baytown的Cedar Bayou工廠內(nèi)。其預(yù)計產(chǎn)能為50萬噸/年，目標(biāo)在2023年啟動。該公司選擇S&B工程師和建筑商來設(shè)計、采購和建造該項目。場地建設(shè)活動將于2022年1月開始。在高峰期，該項目預(yù)計將支持350多個新的建筑工作崗位。

C3分離器將把煉油廠級的丙烯和丙烷的混合物轉(zhuǎn)化為高純度的丙烯產(chǎn)品。丙烯是許多家庭和工業(yè)應(yīng)用的關(guān)鍵構(gòu)件生產(chǎn)的關(guān)鍵原料，包括聚丙烯、環(huán)氧丙烷和丙烯腈。這些化學(xué)品也被用于幾種包裝應(yīng)用和耐用消費品的塑料生產(chǎn)中。聚丙烯也是包括汽車行業(yè)在內(nèi)的各種行業(yè)塑料零件制造的中心。

石化公司高級副總裁Justine Smith表示：“隨著全球丙烯需求的增長，該項目加強了雪佛龍菲利普斯化學(xué)公司的承諾，以滿足我們客戶的需求，并保持領(lǐng)先的丙烯供應(yīng)商。”

雪佛龍菲利普斯化學(xué)公司目前在其位于得克薩斯州的 Cedar Bayou、亞瑟港和 Sweeny、Clemens 和 Old Ocean 設(shè)施運營 C3 分離器裝置。新設(shè)備將提供額外的靈活性和產(chǎn)量，以滿足公司不斷增長的客戶群的預(yù)期需求，同時為未來的增長創(chuàng)造空間。

Smith表示：“我們公司感謝客戶、民選官員和當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的支持。貝城已經(jīng)是我們公司重要資產(chǎn)的所在地，我們期待成為當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)更重要的經(jīng)濟(jì)引擎，同時擴(kuò)大我們的業(yè)務(wù)，以滿足全球客戶的需求。”

Chevron Phillips Chemical to build propylene unit in Texas

Chevron Phillips Chemical announced today plans to expand its propylene business with an FID for a new C3 splitter unit. The unit’s location will be in Baytown, Texas, within the company’s Cedar Bayou facility. Its expected capacity is 500,000 tpy with targeted start up in 2023. The company chose S&B Engineers and Constructors to engineer, procure and build the project. Site construction activities will commence in January 2022. At its peak, the project anticipates supporting 350-plus new construction jobs.

The C3 splitter will convert a refinery grade mixture of propylene and propane into a high purity propylene product. Propylene is essential to the production of key building blocks for many household and industrial applications, including polypropylene, propylene oxide and acrylonitrile. These chemicals are also used in the production of plastics for several packaging applications and durable consumer products. Polypropylene is also central to the manufacturing of plastic parts for various industries including the automotive sector.

“With global propylene demand on the rise, this project reinforces Chevron Phillips Chemical’s commitment to expand to meet our customers’ needs and remain a leading propylene supplier,” said Justine Smith, senior vice president of petrochemicals.

Chevron Phillips Chemical currently operates C3 splitter units at its Cedar Bayou, Port Arthur and Sweeny, Clemens and Old Ocean facilities in Texas. The new unit will provide additional flexibility and production to meet anticipated demand from the company’s growing customer base, while establishing room for future growth.

“Our company is thankful for the support of our customers, elected officials and local community. Baytown is already home to important assets for our company, and we look forward to becoming an even more important economic engine for the local economy, while expanding our business to meet global customer demand,” said Smith.
