Guangxi Petrochemical's 300,000-ton-per-year high-density polyethylene unit has produced on-spec product.

As PetroChina marks its 75th anniversary, the 300,000-ton-per-year high-density polyethylene (HDPE) unit at the Guangxi Petrochemical complex has recently produced on-spec product. This marks the commissioning of the first large-scale chemical unit within the Guangxi Petrochemical refining-chemical integration transformation and upgrade project—a key initiative for PetroChina. Comprising 16 chemical units—including a 1.2-million-ton-per-year ethylene unit—the project epitomizes PetroChina’s efforts to accelerate its move toward the higher end of the industrial value chain and advance high-quality, green, and low-carbon development.
