Ethylene Production Reached A New High!

In the first quarter of 2024, Sichuan Petrochemical made full use of its production, operation and transformation and development efficiency. The crude oil processing capacity and ethylene production increased by 13.56% and 5.75% respectively compared with the historical records of the same period, and the production and sales of various high-efficiency products reached a new high, striding forward in the third operation cycle after the overhaul of the whole plant.

Since the beginning of this year, Sichuan Petrochemical has focused on upgrading the whole chain, lean operation and new quality productivity, creating a "troika" for the company's development and promoting high-quality development.

The whole chain of production capacity has been upgraded, and the incremental increase has been made with full horsepower. Since the beginning of this year, the company's operating performance has been reported frequently. The factory output of aviation fuel products reached a record high after 2023, and the passenger throughput was 9.996 million during the Spring Festival travel rush period of Chengdu Aviation Hub. The output of hydrogen products from fuel cells has increased, providing source support for the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing "hydrogen corridor".

The source "living water" activates the full capacity chain, and Sichuan Petrochemical fully plans to expand the channels for crude oil to enter the factory and ensure the stable supply of raw materials. At present, the company has formed a variety of ways of "pipeline+railway+highway" to go hand in hand with crude oil resources into the factory. In the first quarter, the railway loading and unloading volume of crude oil has exceeded the sum of the whole year of 2023.

Consolidate lean operation, do a good job of improving efficiency by both internal and external repair. Sichuan Petrochemical deepened lean management and market development, made great efforts to break through the benefit blocking points in production and operation, and made efforts to maintain a stable business situation by both internal and external repairs to tap the potential and increase efficiency.

Dissect all links and look inward for benefits. The company continuously improves the level of lean management. Deepen and consolidate the "three stresses and one return" mechanism in management, strengthen independent management and benchmarking management, and bring contractors into the daily management of the company simultaneously. Calculate the benefits of different processing schemes in production, carry out heavy oil optimization research, optimize ethylene raw materials, improve ethylene yield, and fully implement various measures to improve quality and efficiency.
