With Petro Rabigh, Saudi Kayan's integrated petroleum refining project and a new generation of giant refinery integration project - Ras Tanura project in the next few years Having been completed one after another, the intention of the petrochemical industry in the Middle East to extend its industrial chain and dominate the world is becoming more apparent. With the help of a large-scale integrated device to enhance the competitiveness of petrochemical downstream industries, and to seize the global high-end market, the Middle East region will take advantage of the future to achieve industrial strategic transformation. The speech made by Malini Hariharan, Indian regional manager of global petrochemical information provider ICIS India at the 2008 petrochemical industry summit forum organized by CBI last week fully confirmed this point.
In recent years, the ethylene industry in the Middle East has risen rapidly. The overcapacity of petrochemical products such as ethylene glycol and polyethylene has increased and the products have been exported in large quantities. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of the petrochemical industry on both sides of the Chinese strait. However, people in the industry generally believe that: the Middle East series of propylene products is relatively weak, petrochemical downstream industries and deep processing development is slow, the added value of products is not high, only the low-end market by the Middle East threat. According to Marilyn Hariharan, the development of the propylene industry and the diversification of product structure as soon as possible have already entered the development strategy of some large petrochemical companies in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia leads the transition Saudi Arabia is a worthy leader in the petrochemical industry in the Middle East, and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) is a typical representative of the Saudi petrochemical industry. In 2020, SABIC, which will become the world's top petrochemical company and ranks 11th in the global chemical industry, officially announced its vision in 2006. In its open strategic plan, large-scale integrated devices have been placed in a prominent position.
In order to achieve this goal, SABIC's subsidiary, Kai Yan Company, has obtained technical licenses for phenol, cumene, bisphenol A, amino ethanol, and polycarbonate, and has built an industrial city in Al-Jubail. An integrated device that has an annual production capacity of more than 4 million tons of chemicals. In January 2007, Kai Yan announced that it will construct a new polypropylene and low density polyethylene plant at the joint installation base in Jubail Industrial City. The production capacity of polypropylene units is 350,000 tons/year, which will adopt Basel technology and is expected to be completed by the end of August 2009; the annual production capacity of low-density polyethylene is 300,000 tons. Shortly thereafter, the company announced that it will build two new units in Jubail, a 260,000-ton/year polycarbonate (PC) unit and a new 240,000 metric tons/year bisphenol A unit, which is scheduled to go into production in 2009. By then, the above chemicals will realize Saudi local production for the first time, providing a wide range of development opportunities for the downstream industries in Saudi Arabia.
Sipchem is not to be outdone. In 2005, the company signed an agreement with Eastman Chemical Co., USA, and obtained the right to use Eastman Acetic Acid Cogeneration process and the corresponding technical support from Eastman Chemical. As part of the $560 million investment in the new 345,000-ton/year carbon monoxide plant in Jubail, the 460,000-ton/year acetic acid plant and the 330,000-ton/year vinyl acetate plant complex, the unit is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year. In 2007, the company reached an agreement with LUCITE International Ltd., a leading supplier of methyl methacrylate (MMA), to form a joint venture to build a 250,000-ton/year MMA plant in Jubail. Year built.
Saudi Aramco Co., Ltd. and Dow Chemical Co., Ltd. jointly established one of the world's largest integrated projects in Saudi Arabia. After signing the project, it immediately attracted widespread attention from the global petrochemical industry. The integrated project named Rastanula, with a total investment of over 15 billion U.S. dollars, will launch 30 units to produce ethylene, propylene, aromatics, ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol, propylene oxide and propylene glycol, chlor-alkali, and chlorine. Various petrochemical products such as ethylene monomer, polyethylene, polyurethane, epoxy resin, polycarbonate, amines and glycol ethers are expected to be completed and put into operation from 2012 to 2013.
Iran is not to be outdone According to Mariny Hariharan, Iran is also devising a grand blueprint in addition to Saudi Arabia. According to the plan of Iranian National Petrochemical Company, the company will build multiple sets of world-scale crackers. After completion of the construction in 2015, Iran will have the capacity to produce 12 million tons of ethylene, 10 million tons of polymer, 8 million tons of urea, 7.5 million tons of methanol, 5 million tons of ethylene glycol and 4 million tons of aromatics per year. By then, Iranian petrochemical production capacity is expected to surpass Japan and close to Saudi Arabia.
According to overseas media reports, Iranian National Petrochemical Corporation announced in Tehran on January 14 this year that two petrochemical projects have started trial production and four other petrochemical projects will be put into production soon. The third synthetic ammonia project of the Razi petrochemical complex and the urea and synthetic ammonia project of the Kermanshah petrochemical complex have both entered trial production. The Arya Sasol Petrochemical Complex and the Jam Petrochemical Complex will soon be put into production, the Isocyanate Project of the Karun Petrochemical Complex and the polyethylene project of the Laleh Petrochemical Complex Coming soon. Its pace toward major petrochemical producers around the world is accelerating.
Advantages of Oman and Kuwait's late starters are highlighted. In addition, other countries in the Middle East are also extending to petrochemical downstream industries. Dow and Oman Petroleum are reconsidering 800,000 to 1 million tons per year of crackers, of which the Aramon plant in Oman has completed 75% and it is expected that construction will start in the second quarter of 2009. Oman also plans to build an integrated facility in Duqm to produce polypropylene, aromatics and styrene. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2012. The paraxylene and benzene plant in Kuwait is scheduled to start in 2009.
The Middle East region is endowed with unique advantages in oil and gas resources. New petrochemical integrated devices are also cooperating with the world's top chemical companies with the most advanced technologies. In the next few years, these devices will be put into production one after another. The Middle East region will not only add a lot of petrochemical products, but will, to a large extent, change the overall structure of petrochemical products in the Middle East. With the advantages of latecomers, the competitiveness of the Middle East in petrochemical downstream industries will not be overlooked.
