At the beginning of the rain, more than a thousand workers and various machinery were busy again, and the pile foundations of multiple vinyl installations were stably "inserted" into the land. Since last year, dozens of similar construction sites have started construction in Jilin City, Jilin Province. As of now, 96.2% of the pile foundation construction of the 1.2 million tons/year ethylene plant, which is a key link, has been completed.
Jilin City is a famous "Chemical City". The "eldest son of New China Chemical Industry" Jilin Petrochemical Company is located here. This is the first large-scale chemical industry base built in China during the "First Five-Year Plan" (1953-1957), which opened the prelude to the development of the country's chemical industry.
The above-mentioned construction site around oil refining and chemical industry is part of the transformation and upgrading project of Jilin Petrochemical Company's oil refining and chemical industry. Walking through the industrial zone that occupies half the size of the city, you can see the "thick" industrial pipelines extending along the streets, and the chemical installations "reaching into the sky". The first barrel of dye and the first bag of chemical fertilizer in New China were born here.
According to Niu Aimin, deputy director of the Management Committee of Jilin Chemical Industry Park, traditional products such as ethylene, fuel oil, and acrylonitrile were once shipped to all parts of the country, and eventually turned into clothing, rainproof cloth, rain boots, auto parts and other livelihood products, and entered thousands of households. Ten thousand households.
The chemical industry has a high energy consumption attribute. How to realize the "double carbon" transformation is a new problem of the times that all chemical cities have to face. "Our main method is to do both 'subtraction' and 'addition'." Niu Aimin introduced.
A few hundred kilometers away from the construction site in the urban area, non-stop wind power, photovoltaic and other devices are continuously providing green energy for Jilin City. This transformation and upgrading project with an investment of more than 30 billion yuan has made this "Chemical City" "Greatly reduces dependence on traditional energy sources.
Statistics show that Jilin City has become a major user of green energy in Jilin Province. In 2022, Jilin Petrochemical Company alone will purchase more than 400 million kWh of green electricity. From January to May this year, green electricity transactions accounted for 25.8% of the province's electricity transactions, and the green electricity ratio ranked first in the province.
At the same time, chemical companies are also constantly doing "subtraction" of the equipment that has been built, and continue to tap the potential of "carbon reduction" - optimization and transformation of heating furnaces in oil refineries; use of energy-saving equipment such as high-efficiency transformers and motors... these projects After implementation, the carbon emission reduction will be 291,800 tons per year.
In terms of "addition", new products such as ABS and ethylene-propylene rubber produced by Jilin Petrochemical Company help the lightweight of automobiles and the diversification of small household appliances in the downstream of the industrial chain. Officials in Jilin City predict that after all the transformation and upgrading projects of Jilin Petrochemical’s refining and chemical industry are put into operation, the local area will have a number of world-class chemical equipment, stepping into the track of green, low-carbon and digital transformation and intelligent development.
In recent years, Jilin City has also emerged a new pillar industry of 100 billion yuan - carbon fiber. At present, the local area has become the world's largest carbon fiber production base.
Carbon fiber materials have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, and high temperature resistance. They are indispensable materials in the fields of wind power, photovoltaics, and hydrogen energy storage. The reporter visited the carbon fiber enterprises in Jilin City and saw that the workshop is rushing to catch up with the production progress.
"Our products account for nearly 80% of the national market, and the list of wind power companies has reached the end of the year." Wang Zhuang, administrator of the General Management Office of Jilin Guoxing Composite Materials Co., Ltd., introduced that China's wind power industry is promoting material substitution, carbon fiber is capturing the fiberglass market.
This year, carbon fiber enterprises in Jilin City and downstream enterprises jointly carried out technical research, and wind turbine blades up to 100 meters long were transported to the coast and desert one after another, where they were installed. The huge production capacity of the "Chemical City" is helping China to increase the installed capacity of green power.
