SINOPEC Beijing Yanhua Petrochemical Co.,Ltd.is one of the holding subsidiaries of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation. The Company was founded on April 23 1997 and consists of the Chemical Plant No.1,2,3,Synthetic Rubber Plant,Polyester Plant and Resin Application Research Institute originally belong to Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Corp.(BYPC). It's located at No.1 Gangnan Road,Yanshan Fangshan District of Beijing.The company was established in early 1970s.In 1975,the first set of 300KTA ethylene unit of China was put into operation,which is a milestone of the development of Chinese modern petrochemical industry.In 1980s, a number of auxiliary facilities were set up and the plant was improved, and the productivity of this plant was brought into full play. In 1990s, BYPC took the lead in China to revamp and expand the ethylene plant to increase the production capacity further to 450KTA. In December 1999, the first butyl rubber plant in China was built up. In 2001, the second round of ethylene plant revamp was carried out to make the production capacity go up to 660KTA. A new 200KTA LDPE plant was built up, the acetonitrile extraction unit and benzene unit were revamped, to match with the increased capacity of ethylene unit.

With design capacity of 300kt/a, Ethylene Unit located in Chemical Works No.1 was put into operation in 1976 with ABB Lummus technology. It was revamped and expanded to 450kt/a in 1994 and further to 660,000 MTA in 2001. The naphtha, hydrogenated tail oil, HGO and gaseous materials were mainly used as raw materials to produce ethylene, propylene, mixed C4 and other chemical raw materials through steam cracking. The design capacity of the ethylene unit is 660kt/a. Ethylene is mainly used by Chemical Works NO.1 to produce LDPE, HDPE, styrene and glycol; small amount of which is used as monomer by Polypropylene Business Division to produce propylene copolymer. Propylene with 330kt/a capacity is mainly taken by three sets of polypropylene plants in Chemicals Business Division, two sets of phenol-acetone plants in Chemicals Business Division and HDPE plant in Chemical works No.1 to produce ethylene-propylene copolymer. High-purity butadiene extracted from mixed C4 is mainly used to monomer of cis-polybutadiene rubber; Pyrolysis gasoline is used to extract benzene in Benzene unit(toluene can also be extracted if needed), which is the feedstock of two phenol-acetone unit in Chemicals Business Division and styrene unit in Chemical Works No.1.

The core business of the Company is to produce and market resin & plastics, synthetic rubber and basic organic chemical products. The main production units include ethylene unit (660KTA), autoclave process LDPE unit(180KTA), tubular reactor LDPE unit (200KTA), glycol unit (80KTA), benzene unit(120KTA), styrene unit(80KTA), polystyrene unit(50KTA), LDPE unit (140KTA), polypropylene units (three sets, 115KTA, 40KTA, 200KTA), cis-polybutadiene unit(120KTA),butyl rubber unit (30KTA), two phenol-acetone units (80KTA), meta-xylene unit(27KTA),PTA unit(36KTA), polyester chip unit(40KTA) and viscosity improve polyester unit(10KTA).

Main production capacity of the Company takes the leading position among Chinese petrochemical enterprises. It was one of the largest ethylene producers in China in 2000, and the ethylene output was 11.2% of the national total. Total sales of resin and plastics is on the top of the same fields in China, domestic market share calculated by sales volume of LDPE, HDPE, polypropylene, cis-polybutadiene rubber, phenol and acetone are in the first place.
In June, 1997, the company was listed H shares in Hong Kong Joint Exchange Ltd. and in New York Stock Exchange through ADS. The total listing was 30% of the whole capital stock, totally 1.012 billion shares, raising funds of nearly 2 billion yuan.

The capacity of the plant is annually processing 800,000T raw materials.
Technical features: The new-type superstable compound molecular-sieve catalyst is used. The catalyst is of high activity, extremely stable and metallic-pollution resistant. With the PLC-1 type highly-efficient atomizing nozzle being used, ample contact and mixing of the oil products with the catalyst is ensured and the production rate of coke is lowered. Besides, the highly-efficient regeneration technology i.e. using the coking retort with preheating mixing pipe is applied and the fuming machine and exhaust-heat boiler are used to lower the energy consumption of the plant.

Sinopec scrambles for cash, sells petchem stake for $71.4-mil

Sinopec Corp sold its 40.72% interest in petrochemical producer
Sinopec Wuhan Phoenix Co for Yuan 578.1-mil ($71.4-mil) in an Oct 18 agreement with China Changjian National Shipping Group, Sinopec said Thursday in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
(Changjian:
’·])
Phoenix was formed in 1992 by Sinopec, Wuhan Petrochemical Industry Co and several local financial firms. Phoenix facilities include an 800,000
mt/year residue fluid catalytic cracker, a 300,000 mt/year gas fractioning unit and a 35,000 mt/year polypropylene unit.

The sale comes as Asia's largest refiner works to manage scarce cash flow amid continued deterioration in refining margins.

In early September Sinopec cut its 2005 full-year capital expenditure plan by Yuan 2.0-bil or 6.5% to Yuan 58-bil.

"Cash flow has tightened up for them. Cutting capital expenditure is the quickest remedy," one Asia-based analyst said of the move.

The move was also likely to delay progress on the firm's new 200,000 b/d Qingdao refinery that had been scheduled for completion in the second half of 2007, analysts said.

Meanwhile, Sinopec's refining margins had deteriorated further during the third quarter of 2005, according to one source.

Though Sinopec worked to raise output of higher value products, gasoline in particular, and to process higher volumes of lower cost sour crudes, the
benefits of these efforts could not offset the hit from higher import crude costs and fixed domestic selling prices.
