On May 1, the Urumqi Petrochemical Company of PetroChina officially launched a major aromatics project—a 1 million-ton-per-year paraxylene unit. With a total investment of 3.86 billion yuan, this facility is set to become the world's largest multi-million-ton aromatics plant of its kind and is expected to generate annual sales revenue exceeding 15 billion yuan.
Paraffinic hydrocarbons are essential raw materials for producing five key engineering plastics: polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacetal, polyester, and polyphenylene ether. The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission on May 19, 2006, and construction began in September 2007. It is scheduled to be completed and start operations by September 30, 2009.
Once operational, the unit will be integrated with the 10 million-ton-per-year oil refining base in Dushanzi, a subsidiary of PetroChina. This integration will enable mutual supply of raw materials, promoting resource sharing and leveraging complementary strengths. The development of this paraxylene unit is expected to significantly boost related industries in Xinjiang, supporting broader economic growth in the region.
According to Xinjiang’s "Eleventh Five-Year Plan," by 2010, the region aims to become the country’s largest oil and natural gas production base and a critical energy corridor. It also plans to establish four major industrial clusters—Dushanzi-Karamay, Urumqi, South Xinjiang, and Turpan-Hami—with concentrated development. The goal is to build a modern-scale petrochemical industrial cluster as quickly as possible, positioning Xinjiang as a key petrochemical hub in western China.
This project marks an important step forward in strengthening Xinjiang’s energy and chemical industry infrastructure, aligning with both national and regional development strategies.
Dioctyl Terephthalate
It is polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic with an excellent performance of the main Plasticizer.Compared with DOP, it has the advantages of heat resistance, cold resistance, low volatility, resistance to extraction, flexibility and electrical insulation.In the products show excellent durability, resistance to soapy water and low temperature flexibility.Because of its low volatility, the use of DOTP can fully meet the temperature requirements of wire and cable, can be widely used in 70 ℃ cable material (International Electrotechnical Commission IEC standards) and other soft PVC products.
Application:
DOTP addition to a large number of cable materials, PVC plasticizer, can also be used for the production of artificial leather film.In addition, has excellent compatibility, can also be used for acrylonitrile derivatives, polyvinyl butyral, nitrile rubber, nitrocellulose and other plasticizers.It can also be used in synthetic rubber plasticizers, paint additives, precision instruments, lubricants, lubricant additives, can also be used as paper softener.
