中国の翔鷺石油化学、ＰＴＡ増設で中国最大メーカーへ
（上海発＝特約）中国ではＢＰ、三井化学、三菱化学など外国勢と中国の各メーカーによるＰＴＡの新増設計画が次々に打ち出されているが、翔鷺石油化学（Xiang Lu Petrochemical)がＰＴＡの大増設を計画している。
計画では福建省廈門の海滄投資区の既存プラントに隣接して１２０−１５０万トンのＰＴＡを建設する。現在申請中だが、原料パラキシレンについては既に関係会社の騰龍アロマチックス（Tenglong Aromatics）が同地で７０−８０万トン設備建設計画の承認を得ており、ＰＴＡについても認可が下りるとみている。２００７年生産開始を予定している。
翔鷺石油化学の既存プラント能力は９０万トンだが、既に１２０万トンへのデボトルネッキングの工事を行っており、年内に完成する。( to 1.5-mil mt/yr
Apr 06) この結果、２００７年には翔鷺のＰＴＡ能力は２４０−２７０万トンとなり、中国で最強のＰＴＡメーカーとなる。
廈門海滄投資区は国務院に認可された大型投資区で、計画上の開発面積は100平方キロメートル。
なお廈門海滄投資区の経済開発局では、併産品のベンゼン等（騰龍アロマチックスは原料をナフサとするか、輸入混合キシレンとするかを決めていないが）を利用した各種誘導品やその他の製品（ＰＶＣ，ＥＧ）の計画をたて、投資家を募集している。

80,000 ton/year PA and 120,000
ton/year DOP Plastifier Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-04.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang has planned to make PX project a
leading role. Xiang Lu's arene project produces 800,000 tons of
PX every year, which can provide 160,000 tons of OX per year, the feedstock for PA. At
present, there is a shortage of OX material, so Xiamen enjoys the
advantage to produce 60,000 to 80,000 tons of PA, which is the
main material to produce DOP. Xiamen is able to build a DOP
production facility able to compete with any other DOP supplier
elsewhere in the world. In addition, the PA Project can also
provide the material for Haicang to develop 60,000 to 100,000
tons of unsaturated resin per year.
The main construction of the project is to install PA producing facilities
with a capacity of 80,000 tons per year, the DOP plastifier producing facilities with a
capacity of 120,000 tons per
year, its auxiliary equipments and public utilities.
A large market now lies before the PA Project. With the growth of
domestic consumption, much PA is imported, and the degree of
self-sufficiency is only 70% while the import is still
increasing.
Intex Plastics (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., consumes about 60,000 tons of
DOP per year (including the Fuqing plant). 100, 000 tons of DOP
is needed for the company to found the factory. It is estimated
that the demand will reach 150,000 tons per year in Fujian market
including the consumption in Fuzhou, Sanming and Quanzhou.
Xiamen Haicang enjoys the material advantage, scale advantage and
market advantage to construct the 80,000 ton/year PA Project.
40,000 ton/year maleic anhydride
and 20,000 ton/year 1-4 butanediol Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-05.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has planned to make PX project a leading role. Xiang Lu's arene
project produces 800,000 tons of PX every year, which can provide
90,000 tons
of butane per year and ensure
the supply of
anhydride 40,000 tons per year and the construction of a
world-wide scale production equipment
The main construction of the project is to install the maleic anhydride
producing facilities with a production of 40,000 tons per year, the 1,4-butanediol producing
facilities with a capacity of 20,000 tons per year, its auxiliary equipments and
public utilities.
MA can be used in the production of downstream-unsaturated resin
(UP) and 1,4-butanediol, and to provide material for the
production of polyurethane. It can also be sold directly as a
product, and employed in the fields of coating, pesticides,
lubricating, medicine, paper disposal agent, food additive, etc.
So far the domestic anlydride production capacity is oversupply,
but most of them belongs to backward craftsmanship without
competitiveness. It is estimated that the demand for anlydride in
2005 will reach over 250,000 tons, so there is still great
potential.
At present, there are 20 plus anhydride factories in China, with
a total production capacity of 165,000 tons per year. The
domestic factory still relies on benzene method, and the process
is backward with a small production scale and high cost. This
project plans to get the transferred technology from abroad, and
carry out production with butane method, which has obvious cost
advantage and strong market competitiveness.
100,000 ton/year Butoctanol
(2-EH) Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-06.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has planned to make PX project a leading role. Xiang Lu's arene
project produces 800,000 tons of PX every year, which can provide
large amount of heavy oil material. With the imported propylene material, it
has planned to install the equipment that can produce 100,000 tons of butoctanol every year. The product can be used to
produce DOP and DBP plastifier to support the processing of PVC.
It can also be employed in the production of downstream flux and
surfactant agent, etc.
The main construction of the project is to install
butoctanol-producing facilities with a production of 100,000 tons
per year, its auxiliary equipments and public utilities.
Over the past decade, the production and consumption of
butoctanol increase steadily in the world. It is estimated that
the annual grow rate will be 3.5% in next ten years. Butoctanol
production scale in our country has always been small, and
developed slowly. In 2000, the production was about 375,000 tons,
and the degree of self-sufficiency was lower than 70% with the
import further enlarging. It is estimated that the gap between
domestic supply and demand will reach over 540,000 tons per year
by the year of 2010, so there is great promise to carry out the
butoctanol project.
The major domestic butoctanol manufacturers are Jihua Company,
Daqing Petrochemical Company, Qilu Petrochemical Company, Beijing
NO.4 Chemical Industrial Factory, etc. Most of them are located
in the North, while there is no butoctanol manufacturers in
Southeast China.
Xiamen's consumption market for PVC plastifier has constituted
fairly large scale. The construction of PX Project will provide
main materials for the production chain of PVC plastifier:
o-xylene produces PA; liquefied petroleum gas or naphtha produces
the synthetic gas which is required for the production of
butoctanol; PA and octyl alcohol produce DOP and form the
production chain of phthalates plastifier. This is conducive to
the construction of world-wide scale equipments for PA,
butoctanol and DOP. Advantage is shown in the technology and
price.
100,000 ton/year SBS Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-07.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has planned to make PX project a leading role. Xiang Lu's arene
project produces 800,000 tons of PX every year, which can provide 228,000 tons of benzene
material. With the imported
ethylene and butadiene, it has planned to install the equipment
that can produce 100,000 tons of SBS every year. The products are mainly used
in shoes and bitumen. China's SBS industry has developed quickly
in recent years, but the degree of self-sufficiency is still
around 50%.
The main construction of the project is to install the SBS
producing facilities with a production of 100,000 tons per year,
its auxiliary equipments and public unitilies.
Fujian province has no SBS manufacturer, but thanks to the
developed shoes manufacturing industry, there is a great demand
of SBS. At present, most of the needed SBS is imported from
Taiwan or other provinces, so market demand exists.
100,000 ton/year LAB, 50,000
ton/year LAS Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-08.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has planned to make PX project a leading role. Xiang Lu's arene
project produces 800,000 tons of PX every year, which can provide
228,000 tons
of benzene material and
sulfur, the by-product. With imported and domestically provided
light wax, it has planned to install the equipment that can
produce 100,000
tons of LAB and 50,000 tons of LAS every year. The product is mainly used in
synthetic detergent.
The main construction of the project is to install the LAB
producing facilities with a production of 100,000 tons per year,
the LAS producing facilities with a production of 50,000 tons per
year, its auxiliary equipments and public utilities.
China's LAB concentrates in Nanjing with a producing capacity of
200,000 tons per year and Fushun in Liaoning Province with a
producing capacity of 200,000 tons per year, both in the North.
From the overall distribution, the consumption of detergent in
the South China is very high and the supply of LAB is wanted.
LAB and LAS Project in Haicang makes use of benzene and sulphur,
the by-product of PX Project, as materials. The by-product of
hydrogen can also be used in PX Project. A great amount of
hydrogen is needed in heavy arene hydrogen cracking. It is an
ideal project that is ensured with raw material supply.
200,000 tons of VCM/PVC per year
Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-09.htm
The project is to import VCM
monomer or EDC and a modest sum of ethylene, with which 200,000 tons of PVC will be produced. It will provide
materials for companies like Nanya fittings and pipes, Wufeng
pipes and Intex Plastics. There is a great market demand of PVC
at present, e.g. in Xiamen city and its neighbourhood, 150,000
tons of PVC is needed every year.
The main construction of the project is to install the PVC
producing facilities with a capacity of 200,000 tons per year,
its auxiliary equipments and public utilities.
PVC production has been growing very rapidly in China, but it
can't yet fulfill the domestic demands. China has to import a
great deal of PVC resin every year and will import more in the
future. Domestic production can only meet about 50%--60% of the
market demand. The situation that China relies on PVC import is
not expected to make a turn in the coming decade. Therefore, PVC
resin has a large market in China.
The plastic processing ability and technology in Fujian Province
play a leading role in China. The main PVC products are shoes,
membranes, tubes, construction materials, etc. The production is
about 300,000 tons per year. However, the production of PVC resin
in Fujian Province is only 60,000 tons per year. A big market
shortfall exists.
PVC production in Haicang Investment Zone doesn't start with
chlorine alkali but with EDC or monomer imported from abroad, so
the production cost can be controlled. The demand of PVC in
Xiamen is 150,000 tons per year, thirsty for new PVC
manufacturers. If you choose the mongline combination under the
economic scale, i.e. to install facilities with a production of
100,000 or 200.000 tons per year, the PVC project will survive
the market competition. Therefore, Xiamen City's development of
producing PVC is based on the market demand according to the
international managerial mode.
300,000 tons of SM & 200,000
tons of PS per year Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-10.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has planned to make PX project a leading role. Xiang Lu's arene
project produces 800,000 tons of PX every year, which can provide
228,000 tons
of benzene per year. Together
with the imported ethylene material, it has planned to install
the equipment, which can produce 300,000 tons of SM and 200,000 tons of PS every year. PS is one of the five main
synthetic resins, which can be widely used in household
appliances, automobiles, packing, machine parts and so on. At
present, there is a large market of PS in China. Every year, a
great deal of it needs to be imported,
The main construction of the project is to install the producing
facilities respectively with a capacity of 300,000 tons SM and
200,000 tons PS per year as well as their auxiliary equipments
and public utilities.
China began to levy tax on PS in 1960. In recent years, the PS
production has been developed rapidly. There have already been
large companies producing PS, such as Zhenjiang Qimei Company,
Shantou SOE First Polyester Films Co., Ltd, Yangzi-BASF Styrenics
Co., Ltd etc. However, most of the PS producing companies only
have minitype facilities with a production of 10,000 tons.
Domestic production only meets 30% of the market demand, so it
needs to import a large sum of PS resin every year and the volume
has been greatly increased.
500,000 tons of EG per year
Project
http://www.fdi-xiamen-cn.com/v4/html/en-opport/sort02/sort02-11.htm
The chemical industry in Haicang
has a plan to make PX project a leading role and build an
integrated arene industry. Now, Xiang Lu Fibers (Xiamen) Co.,
Ltd. has put into polyester production 320,000 tons per year,
besides Dingyang Special Resin Company’s project to produce 360,000 tons per year
is under construction. The above two projects need a huge supply
of EG. The imported ethylene as a material for the EG producing facilities
with a capacity of 500,000 tons per year can fully supply to the
downstream PET production and to some related companies.
The construction of the project is to install the EG producing
facilities with a capacity of 500,000 tons per year, its
auxiliary equipments and public utilities.
At present, 400,000 tons of polyester is produced in Xiamen City
and its neighbourhood. Together with the projects which are under
construction or to be constructed, the polyester production will
reach 800,000 tons per year. Until 2005, the market demand of EG
in Fujian Province will be over 300,000 tons per year. There will
be a large market of it.
