The official website of the Nanjing Jiangbei New Area Management Committee made a full announcement on the environmental impact assessment of the "Integrated 2.8 Phase Expansion Project" of Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd. The products involved in the project include propionaldehyde, propionic acid, ethanolamine, vinylamine, tert-butyl acrylate, ethylene oxide, etc. Among them, the newly-built tert-butyl acrylate (TBA) plant is the first domestic plant, filling the domestic production gap.


Yangba’s current production capacity of propionic acid is 69,000 tons/year, propionaldehyde capacity is 30,000 tons/year, ethanolamine capacity is 75,000 tons/year, ethylene amine capacity is 35,000 tons/year, and refined ethylene oxide capacity is It is 150,000 tons/year. In view of the company's current production status and market supply-demand relationship, it is necessary to further adjust the product structure, optimize and extend the company's existing ethylene industry chain. In accordance with the strategic deployment of Sinopec and BASF, Yangba started the construction of the integrated 2.8 phase expansion project.

Project Name: Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd. Integration Phase 2.8 Expansion Project

Construction site: Nanjing Jiangbei New Material Technology Park, Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd. existing plant

Construction Nature: Expansion

Total investment: 292,505 million yuan, of which environmental protection investment is about 54.45 million yuan, accounting for about 1.86% of the total investment

Land area: about 59311 square meters, building area about 4060 square meters

Project Overview: Newly build 5 sets of production devices for propionaldehyde, propionic acid, ethanolamine, vinylamine, and tert-butyl acrylate in the existing production plant area, and carry out technical transformation of the refined ethylene oxide production device; build a new 8# circulating water station, 3 installation substations and cabinet rooms, 3 installation tank farms, 1 central loading and unloading station, 1 logistics office, rebuild B900 torch, upgrade high-pressure fire fighting water system, transform existing substation, control room, pipe gallery and storage Transportation system and other related supporting public and auxiliary facilities. After the implementation of the project is completed, the production capacity of propionaldehyde is 70,000 tons/year, propionic acid is 40,000 tons/year, ethanolamine is 55,000 tons/year, ethylene amine is 35,000 tons/year, and tert-butyl acrylate is 12,000 tons/year. Annually, the refined ethylene oxide production capacity will be expanded by 50,000 tons/year (after the expansion, it will reach 200,000 tons/year).

Raw materials for this project: mainly ethylene, synthesis gas, acrylic acid and liquid ammonia. Among them: ethylene, synthesis gas and acrylic acid come from the existing upstream devices (ethylene device, synthesis gas device, acrylic acid device) of Yangba and pass between the upstream and downstream devices. The ethylene and acrylic acid are currently partly sold as products, and the remaining amount can meet the production needs of this project; the current output of the synthesis gas plant is insufficient for the needs of this project, and the shortfall is from the neighboring Yangzi Petrochemical and Nanjing New Purchased from the material industrial park; liquid ammonia is mainly purchased from synthetic ammonia companies in Jiangsu (Jiangsu Andef Chemical Trading Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Fertilizer Industry Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Dimental Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., etc.) and transported to steam by tanker It is stored in the liquid ammonia storage tank in the cracking tank area, and then pumped to each device of this project.
