Axens successfully starts up hydrocracking units at Shenghong's integrated refinery in China
Axens’ designed 3.2-MMtpy ebullated-bed residue hydrocracking (H-Oil®) unit, 3.5-MMtpy distillates hydrocracking (HyKTM) unit and naphtha hydrotreating (NHT) unit were successfully started at Shenghong Refining & Chemical (Lianyungang) Co. Ltd’s crude to paraxylene complex in China’s province of Jiangsu. These single train units aim at maximizing naphtha production as well as improve the coker’s feed quality while processing steam cracker pyoil, diesel, vacuum gas oil, coker gas oil and vacuum residue as feedstocks within this integrated complex.
In 2019, Shenghong selected Axens to provide the residue hydrocracking/HCK/NHT solutions for boosting naphtha production from their integrated refinery and petrochemical complex at Lianyungang City. As part of these solutions, Axens delivered the complete process design package, high-performance catalysts, proprietary reactor internals, specialized design of spiral tube heat exchangers (ZPJE), and full technical services from plant personnel training to plant start-up.
