China's Hengli Petrochemical plans to start test runs at one of its two new paraxylene production lines in Dalian, Liaoning province, in November, in line with planned trial runs at its new 20 million mt/year (400,000 b/d) refinery in October, a source close to the company said Thursday.
Both lines have a production capacity of 2.25 million mt/year. The second line is expected to start in the first or second quarter of 2019, the source said.
Hengli is one of China's, and the world's, largest producers of purified terephthalic acid, with three plants at Dalian totaling 6.6 million mt/year in production capacity. PX is used to produce PTA.
In June, Hengli received a crude oil import quota of 5 million mt (36.65 million barrels) from China's Ministry of Commerce, S&P Global Platts reported previously.
Construction of the refinery is scheduled to be completed in July, after which it will need final approval from the government to start operations. |
