Introduction: In 2019, the production costs of various domestic ethylene glycol production enterprises have declined significantly; in terms of profits, the profits of all raw materials have been at a low level from the beginning to the middle of the year, and have picked up in December. . But overall, cost losses are generally serious.
In terms of integrated devices, due to the long-term weak operation of international crude oil, However, the decline in ethylene glycol has been more severe, and production costs have fallen. According to Jin Lianchuang statistics, the average profit from naphtha to ethylene glycol in 2019 was US$6.17/ton, a decrease of US$264.65/ton compared with the same period in 2018.
In terms of coal-to-ethylene glycol equipment, as the domestic ethylene glycol market price has been at a low level in 2019, coal-to-coal production companies have basically been in the red throughout the year, with profits falling sharply until mid-December. The price of ethylene glycol in the domestic market rose sharply in the second half of the year, and coal production companies turned losses into profits and showed slight profits. However, the overall profit loss of coal-to-ethylene glycol production in 2019 was serious, reaching a loss value of -477.40 yuan/ton, which was lower than last year. During the same period, it dropped by 2386.16 yuan/ton.
In terms of methanol to ethylene glycol, the device has been affected by the sharp drop in ethylene glycol prices, resulting in a significant increase in production costs and a loss in production profits. The average profit loss in 2019 reached -122.97 yuan/ton. , the profit level decreased by 954.54 yuan/ton compared with the same period last year.
The monomer ethylene process unit fell sharply due to the impact of ethylene prices, and was basically at a loss throughout the year. However, as the U.S. dollar market price of ethylene glycol rose in mid-December, ethylene plants turned losses into profits. However, the average profit level of ethylene manufacturers in 2019 turned from a small profit last year to a loss, falling by US$111.85/ton to -US$97.33/ton. loss value. </p
