Dushanzi Tarim Phase II Ethylene Project Speeds Up Test: 21.88 billion Super Plant Sprints into Production in 2026

28 February the first batch of test run materials S1003 powder was shipped from Dushanzi Petrochemical Department Polyolefin Unit 1 Polypropylene Line 34 and sent to Tarim Phase II Ethylene Project Site located in Korla Shangku Industrial Park. This node marks the formal entry of the project's commissioning preparations into the substantive landing stage, and the signal of the project's sprint into production is clear.

1. project construction status: key nodes reached intensively

at present, 11 public and auxiliary main items have been handed over smoothly, the project has fully entered the stage of process pipeline pressure test, equipment commissioning, electrical instrument installation and completion, stand-alone commissioning and linkage commissioning. All departments have formulated detailed work plans and node control is progressing in an orderly manner.

From the construction logic, the project has been switched from the civil construction period to the commissioning period, raw material procurement needs will also be synchronized from the construction materials. productive raw materials conversion. For supply chain practitioners, the procurement window for polyolefins and high-performance rubber materials is opening at an accelerated pace, and it is worth paying attention to the layout in advance.

2. project strategic value and market impact

project fundamentals: total investment 21.88 billion yuan, planning annual processing raw materials 2.755 million tons after completion, the annual output of more 2 million tons high-end polyolefin and high-performance rubber materials, ethylene scale 1.2 million tons/year, plan fully completed and put into operation in 2026.

The strategic significance goes beyond capacity expansion. High-end polyolefin and high-performance rubber materials are highly dependent on imports for a long time, and the low localization rate is the core bottleneck restricting the independent control of the downstream industrial chain. After the project is put into operation, it will directly improve the localization rate of domestic related products and reduce the import dependence space, which is of substantial significance to stabilize the domestic market supply.

Core tips for overseas traders: after the project is fully put into operation in 2026, the local supply capacity of high-end polyolefins in the northwest region will see a leap-forward growth, and the regional supply pattern and product trade flow will be systematically reconstructed. It is recommended that overseas buyers and traders evaluate the export strategy of related products to China in advance, closely track the pace of project production and market price trends, and adjust positions and contractual arrangements in due course.
