On December 18, the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase of the Tongkun Beibu Gulf Green Petrochemical Integrated Industrial Base with an annual output of 600,000 tons of styrene project was held in the Sandun Area of Qinzhou Port, Guangxi Province. Wang Gebing, Secretary of the Qinzhou Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee of Guangxi Province, attended and announced the start of construction. Mayor Tan Pichuang and Chairman of Zhejiang Tongkun Holding Group Co., Ltd. Chen Shiliang delivered speeches.
Tongkun is a representative of a leading textile and chemical fiber company. The company now has 6.2 million tons of polymerization and 6.8 million tons of The annual production and processing capacity of polyester filament is 4.2 million tons, and the annual production and processing capacity of PTA is 4.2 million tons. From 2009 to the present, it has ranked first among the world’s polyester filament companies in terms of production capacity and output. In recent years, Tongkun has vertically integrated the entire industry chain of “refining-petrochemical (PTA)-polyester-spinning-texturing”. With the vertical advantages of the entire industry chain, Tongkun has achieved upstream and downstream synergy in the field of textile and chemical fibers. Integrated innovation, working with downstream customers and peer companies to develop functional and differentiated polyester filaments.
The Tongkun Beibu Gulf Green Petrochemical Integrated Industrial Base Project was signed and settled in Qinzhou on August 27, 2019, with a total investment of 510 100 million yuan, mainly building three sub-projects and related supporting facilities with an annual output of 600,000 tons of styrene, 2.8 million tons of aromatics, and 5 million tons of PTA. This is undoubtedly an important step in the layout of Tongkun’s entire industry chain.
It is reported that the first phase of the project with an annual output of 600,000 tons of styrene has a total investment of 2.5 billion yuan. After the Tongkun Beibu Gulf green petrochemical integrated industrial base project is fully completed and put into operation, the annual output value will be approximately 65 billion yuan, and the tax revenue will be approximately 3.2 billion yuan. It will make up for the shortcomings of the aromatic hydrocarbons and downstream PTA and polyester industries, and promote “one drop of oil, two threads” “The high-end green chemical fiber industry layout will further promote the development of the surrounding textile industry. Tan Pichuang, Mayor of Qinzhou City, said that the start of construction of this project marks that the integrated refining and chemical development of Qinzhou’s petrochemical industry has reached a new level, laying a solid foundation for the development of a world-class green petrochemical industry base for ASEAN, and also marking the The “5+2” major industrial projects proposed by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government all started construction within the year. It is hoped that Zhejiang Tongkun Group will increase its power, reverse the construction schedule, make every effort to promote the project to be completed and put into operation as soon as possible, and work together to build a world-class green petrochemical industry base to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
Chen Shiliang, chairman of Tongkun Group, said that the group will adhere to high-starting planning, high-standard configuration, high-quality construction, and high-quality construction. In line with the requirements of horizontal operation, scientifically arrange the construction progress, strictly control the quality, complete the construction of the styrene project as soon as possible, and promote other projects to be approved for construction as soon as possible, so as to make the enterprise bigger and stronger and make greater contributions to the economic and social development of Qinzhou.
It is worth mentioning that Qinzhou City’s “5+2” major industrial projects refer to the newly started construction in Qinzhou, with 5 Industrial projects with investment exceeding 10 billion yuan and 2 industrial projects with investment of 5-10 billion yuan. Among the five industrial projects with investments exceeding 10 billion yuan, there is not only the Tongkun Beibu Gulf green petrochemical integrated industrial base project, but also the Hengyi high-end green chemical and chemical fiber integrated base project of another leading enterprise in the chemical fiber industry – Hengyi Group. </p
