On February 28, the newly added No. 10 200,000-ton/year cracking furnace of Sino-Korea Petrochemical’s ethylene plant was successfully ignited once, marking that the project has entered the start-up preparation stage.

The addition of No. 10 cracking furnace is an important part of Sino-Korea Petrochemical’s 1.1 million tons/year ethylene de-bottleneck renovation project. The cracking furnace is a dual-chamber liquid furnace with a separate chamber for scorching and is designed using Sinopec’s CBL technology. After the No. 10 cracking furnace is put into use, it will effectively increase the production capacity of Sino-Korea Petrochemical’s ethylene plant.

On the same day, the first ever-bright blue flame of the new No. 10 cracking furnace in the ethylene plant broke out, marking the company’s ethylene de-bottleneck renovation project to successfully ignite the No. 10 cracking furnace, start to ignite the furnace, and put the materials into the fast lane. After the furnace of No. 10 was baked for 5 days, the problems found during the furnace were eliminated, and then it was officially put into trial production. After the furnace is put into use, it will further increase the output of the ethylene plant and boost the company’s high-quality development.
