Share:

At 21:00 on June 3, 2026, the 300,000 tons/year EVA unit of Fujian Gulei Petrochemical Co., Ltd. was successfully started and successfully produced qualified products. It became the first unit to resume production after the overhaul of the entire plant, laying a solid foundation for the company to stabilize production and increase efficiency in a complex market environment.

Affected by factors such as tight international crude oil supply and rising prices, the entire plant was temporarily shut down to wait to materials after a major overhaul. Faced with the severe production and operation situation, the company decided to overcome the difficulties after in-depth research and judgment, and prioritize the early start of EVA equipment whose items still have marginal benefits.

It is reported that the EVA device involved 144 maintenance and transformation projects, all of which have been completed with high condition and efficiency. Among them, the high-cycle technical transformation project is the first domestic consumption of the high-voltage system of the EVA device in the sector. After it is put into consumption, the system operation will be greater stable, providing a strong guarantee to the subsequent production of high value-added EVA items.

The smooth start-up of the EVA device this time has accumulated valuable experience to the company to resume production after a major overhaul, and also enhanced the company's confidence in coping with the current severe market situation. In the next measure, the company will take the successful resumption of production of the EVA device as an opportunity to continue to deepen the overall planning and scheduling of production and operations, and steadily advance preparations to the resumption of production of other devices.
