In 2019, the domestic petroleum and chemical industry experienced ups and downs in the international and domestic markets. As various regions accelerate the pace of industry integration, elimination, and upgrading, petroleum and chemical industrial parks have entered a new stage of substantial integration and improvement. More and more parks have embarked on the path of high-quality development, and green and intelligent industries are in the ascendant.
1. BASF Zhanjiang integrated base Launch
On January 10, BASF signed a framework agreement with the Guangdong Provincial Government to build an integrated refining and new materials base in Zhanjiang. Brudermüller, Chairman of the Executive Board of BASF Europe, said that the Zhanjiang integrated base is BASF’s largest overseas investment project to date. Once completed, it will become BASF’s third largest production base in the world after Ludwigshafen, Germany, and Antwerp, Belgium.
BASF’s Zhanjiang integrated base is located on Donghai Island in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. The planned area of the project is about 9 square kilometers, and the total investment is expected to reach 10 billion US dollars. The entire base will be completed by 2030. The first batch of production units of the project will be put into operation in 2022 and will produce engineering plastics and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to provide materials for automobiles, electronic products, new energy vehicles and other fields.
On November 23, the launch ceremony of the BASF (Guangdong) integrated base project was held. Premier Li Keqiang sent a congratulatory letter, stating that the BASF (Guangdong) project is China’s first wholly foreign-owned large-scale petrochemical integrated project, marking the As our measures to further open up are being implemented, we will push the cooperation between China and Germany in the manufacturing field to a new level.
2. Jiangsu Chemical Industry Park accelerates integration and improvement
After the “3·21” Xiangshui accident, Jiangsu Province increased its efforts to rectify and improve the chemical industry. On April 27, Jiangsu Province issued the “Jiangsu Province Chemical Industry Safety and Environmental Protection Improvement Plan”, proposing to “promote rectification and improvement in accordance with laws and regulations”, “reduce the number of chemical production companies in areas along the river” and “reduce the number of chemical production companies in environmentally sensitive areas” “Strict measures such as” mean that a large number of chemical industry parks and chemical companies in Jiangsu will face rectification, relocation and closure.
The main implementation contents of “chemical reduction” are:
Reduce the number of chemical production enterprises in areas along the river, environmentally sensitive areas, and outside the park;
Reduce the number of chemical industrial parks (concentration areas);
The plan clarifies the company’s exit timetable. For sewage that cannot stably meet standards for discharge and long-term environmental protection facilities Chemical companies that are operating abnormally and still fail to meet the standards after rectification within the deadline will be shut down in accordance with the law and regulations before the end of 2020.
The “Plan” proposes classified rectification measures for chemical industry parks. A comprehensive evaluation will be conducted on 50 chemical industry parks (concentration areas) in the province, and rectification and improvement measures will be clarified one by one.
3. The certification of chemical industry parks in Shandong Province has been completed
June On the 27th, Shandong Province announced the list of the fourth batch of chemical industry parks that have passed certification. At this point, all chemical industry park certifications in Shandong Province have been completed. The identification of chemical industry parks in Shandong Province, the largest province in the chemical industry that has attracted much attention from the industry, was officially launched in January 2018. A total of 85 chemical and professional chemical parks have been identified, becoming a model for the systematic identification of chemical industry parks nationwide.
What is particularly noteworthy is that the Shandong Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Park, which has not appeared before, has been added to the fourth batch of recognition lists. The industry generally believes that this is the preliminary preparation work for Shandong Province to integrate local refining enterprises and form a large-scale 40 million tons refining group.
In addition, after the identification of Shandong Chemical Industry Park has been fully completed, as a useful supplement to the identification of the park, the identification of key chemical monitoring points in Shandong Province has begun. In May and December 2019, Shandong Province announced two batches of key monitoring points for the chemical industry. The Shandong Provincial Chemical Industry Special Action Office stated that in the next step, it will focus on the rectification and improvement of park issues, conduct regular comprehensive assessments of the park, and form a good mechanism for dynamic management and continuous improvement.
4. New chemical industrial parks are prohibited in many places
In 2019, multiple chemical industry regulatory guidelines were issued across the country. Chemical industrial parks serve as the basis for industry development. As an important carrier, its standardized development has received attention, and many provinces have clearly proposed prohibiting new petroleum and chemical industrial parks in different types of relevant policies.
The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment issued the “Notice on Further Improving the Environmental Assessment and Approval Work for Construction Projects”, requiring further strengthening the environmental assessment and approval work for various projects, including newly built chemical industry parks and New chemical enterprises outside the chemical industry park will not be approved;
Henan Province has issued the “Henan Province Coal Consumption Reduction Action Plan (2018~2020)”. The plan proposes to raise the entry threshold for coal-consuming projects, reduce the production capacity of the coking and chemical industries, and prohibit new chemical industrial parks in the province;
While Shandong Province is completing the certification of chemical industrial parks , also clearly stated that no new chemical industry parks will be added in the future, and the number of chemical industry parks in the province will be controlled in accordance with the principle of “adding one and withdrawing one”;
Zhejiang Province released The “Three-Year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defense War” clearly states that Zhejiang Province will ban new chemical industrial parks and increase the rectification of existing chemical industrial parks;

10. Chemical park risk assessment is here
On August 12, the Ministry of Emergency Management issued the “Guidelines for Safety Risk Investigation and Management of Chemical Industry Parks (Trial)”. This is a response to the “March 21” accident, and the State Council Safety Committee required that all chemical industry parks conduct risk assessments. An implementation policy.
It is understood that the chemical park safety risk assessment is mainly based on the current situation assessment of the chemical park, taking into account the pre-assessment of future development plans. It focuses on the chemical park site selection safety risks and the overall layout safety Conduct a key assessment on five aspects: risks, safety correlations among established enterprises in the chemical park, chemical park public engineering facilities and logistics transportation safety risks, chemical park safety management and emergency rescue capabilities.
Chemical Industry The park security risk investigation puts forward three basic principles, namely:
“Guidelines (Trial)” requirements:
The “Guidelines (Trial)” also put forward requirements for the access and exit of chemical industry parks, supporting functional facilities, supporting functional facilities, etc. After the release of the Guidelines, many places have successively issued guidelines for chemical industry park safety risk assessments. Rules and specific methods.</p
