EIA change publicity! China's Liaoning Fushun Petrochemical Ethylene Expanded from 800000 Tons to 950000 Tons, Northeast Raw Material Supply Chain Ushered in Adjustment

1. PROJECT RECONSTRUCING PROGRESS AND CONTENT

on November 4, 2026, fushun City, China the Ecological Environment Bureau announced the proposed approval opinions on the change of the 800000-ton/year ethylene plant de-bottleneck transformation and energy efficiency improvement project in Fushun Petrochemical, Liaoning, China. This change is due to the adjustment of the new exhaust pipe and heat-conducting oil furnace model. The project as a whole has entered the final commissioning stage, which will directly affect the circulation pattern of ethylene, C4 and high-end polyolefin in northeast China. Project landing in fushun City, China dongzhou District, relying on Fushun Petrochemical's existing olefin plant, ethylene department, washing plant plant implementation, no new land. On August 27, the newly-built No. 9 cracking furnace was successfully ignited and dried, and on September 10, the olefin plant area was started and debugged. The cracking furnace weighs 3058 tons and adopts the independent light liquid cracking furnace technology of Huanqiu Project. After modular prefabrication, the whole unit is installed in translation to minimize the production disturbance of the original in-service unit. Upgrade of multiple sets of equipment for synchronous transformation: add 150000 tons/year light liquid cracking furnace and upgrade butadiene, 1-butene and MTBE units; The ethylene department has newly built a 200000-ton/year solution polyethylene plant with heat conduction oil furnace and pipelines. Octene unloading facilities will be added to the washing plant, and the rest of the public and auxiliary engineering reuse plant has existing supporting facilities.

2、 Interpretation of Capacity, Energy Consumption, and Trade Impact

after the renovation, Fushun Petrochemical's ethylene production capacity increased from 800000 tons/year to 950000 tons/year. The production capacity of butadiene extraction, 1-butene and MTBE reached 180000 tons/year, 50000 tons/year and 100000 tons/year respectively, adding 200000 tons/year of solution polyethylene. The comprehensive energy consumption of ethylene decreased from 640kg standard oil/ton to 580kg standard oil/ton. The addition of high value-added brands such as ultra-low density POP and high clean large hollow materials is a strategic landing project of PetroChina's "oil reduction and increase. Fushun Petrochemical is a veteran refining and chemical integration base of PetroChina, with a primary and secondary processing capacity of about 11 million tons/year, and is also an important paraffin production base in the world. In 2025, the factory will process 7.38 million tons of crude oil and 668400 tons of ethylene, and will be rated as a Class A enterprise of PetroChina for three consecutive years. From the perspective of supply chain, the expansion of the plant will increase the circulation of ethylene and carbon four commodities in Northeast China, and ease the tight balance of carbon four in the region. At the same time, the new polyethylene production capacity will be added to promote the local conversion of raw materials, and the proportion of basic ethylene export will be reduced to the output of high-end new materials. Overseas traders need to continuously track the progress of the test run, the grade scheduling plan, in advance of the layout of carbon four, polyethylene downstream resources. After the project is put into operation, it will drive the coordination of carbon four, carbon five, aromatics and plastics industry chain in Liaoning region, and consolidate the raw material chassis of Liaoning trillion-level petrochemical industry base.
