Good News!
Recently, the SABIC PKN MTBE Improvement Project, which is EPC contracted by CNCEC-TCC, has successfully commenced production and entered commercial operation one month ahead of schedule. This milestone marks the official completion of the world's largest single-train MTBE production base.
As the largest-scale SABIC own technology project under cooperation between CNCEC-TCC and SABIC, the core breakthrough of this plant lies in the integration of a new-generation isobutane dehydrogenation production process and a regeneration air compressor with the world's largest processing capacity. The project involves constructing a new isobutane dehydrogenation unit to replace PKN's existing unit, while synchronously implementing technological upgrades to the upstream and downstream n-butane isomerization unit, MTBE synthesis utilities, and auxiliary facilities. This technological upgrade will bring multiple benefits: utilize 10 MW electricity recovery by low-pressure steam, and the extension of the MTBE synthesis unit's continuous operation cycle from 8 months to 2 years, achieving significant breakthroughs in the fields of green chemical industry upgrading and low-carbon environmental protection practices.
近日，中國化學(xué)天辰公司總承包的沙特SABIC PKN MTBE項目迎來重要里程碑時刻——項目較計劃提前一個月順利投產(chǎn)并實現(xiàn)商業(yè)運營，標(biāo)志著全球規(guī)模最大的單體甲基叔丁基醚（MTBE）生產(chǎn)基地正式落成，為中沙企業(yè)合作樹立全新典范。
作為天辰公司與沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司（SABIC）合作的最大體量專有技術(shù)工程，項目新建異丁烷脫氫裝置以替換PKN現(xiàn)有裝置，同步對上下游正丁烷異構(gòu)化裝置、MTBE合成公用工程及輔助設(shè)施進(jìn)行技術(shù)升級。項目建成后，MTBE年產(chǎn)能將從70萬噸提升至100萬噸，躍居全球單體規(guī)模之首。該項目不僅提前4天完成機(jī)械竣工，更較計劃提前一個月完成投料并產(chǎn)出合格產(chǎn)品，充分彰顯出天辰公司卓越的履約能力與高效的執(zhí)行能力。
作為SABIC首個全面采用自有專利技術(shù)的MTBE項目，該裝置的核心突破在于集成新一代異丁烷脫氫生產(chǎn)工藝與全球最大處理能力再生壓縮機(jī)。此次技術(shù)升級將帶來多重效益，通過回收副產(chǎn)低壓蒸汽可實現(xiàn)10MW電力自給，每年約減少催化劑消耗6300噸；MTBE合成單元連續(xù)運行周期從8個月延長至2年，設(shè)備可靠性與環(huán)保性能均達(dá)到行業(yè)頂尖水平，在綠色化工升級與低碳環(huán)保實踐領(lǐng)域?qū)崿F(xiàn)顯著突破。
項目實施期間，面對國際供應(yīng)鏈波動、高溫沙塵氣候、老廠施工作業(yè)難度大等多重挑戰(zhàn)，天辰公司項目團(tuán)隊依托深耕沙特市場12年的經(jīng)驗積淀，創(chuàng)新實施“設(shè)計—采購—施工深度協(xié)同模式”，為項目高效有序推進(jìn)提供了堅實保障。在試車階段，項目團(tuán)隊全體人員實行多班組輪值、日夜奮戰(zhàn)，高效配合業(yè)主完成各工藝單元的單體試車。項目最終不僅提前完成投料并產(chǎn)出合格產(chǎn)品，更獲得SABIC業(yè)主的高度贊譽。此次項目的成功實施，充分彰顯了“艱苦奮斗、團(tuán)結(jié)協(xié)作、模式創(chuàng)新、盡善服務(wù)”的沙特團(tuán)隊精神，為公司深耕沙特及中東市場筑牢堅實基礎(chǔ)。
