CPCC投产美国墨西哥湾沿岸乙烷裂解装置

中国石化新闻网讯 据OGJ网站3月12日休斯敦报道，由雪佛龙公司和菲利普斯66公司组建的合资企业雪佛龙菲利普斯化工公司（CPCC）日前在联合企业位于德州贝城的Cedar Bayou设施内完成了150万吨/年的乙烷裂解装置的启动，从而完成了其此前宣布的60亿美元墨西哥湾沿岸石化项目的第二阶段施工。

项目作业者说，CPCC已把原料成功引入乙烷裂解装置并开始运行这个装置。

乙烷裂解装置是在CPCC在去年年底宣布该公司已达到乙烷裂解装置的机械竣工以及开始一系列严格调试活动、系统检查和最后认证以确保装置安全可靠启动以后正式投产的。

CPCC此前曾对媒体记者说，该公司预计这个乙烷裂解装置将在2018年某个时候达到全面生产率。

Chevron Phillips Chemical commissions USGC ethane cracker

Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. LP (CPCC), a joint venture of Chevron Corp. and Phillips 66, has completed startup of a 1.5 million-tonne/year ethane cracker at the combine’s Cedar Bayou facility at Baytown, Tex., finalizing the second phase of its previously announced $6-billion US Gulf Coast petrochemical project.

CPCC has successfully introduced feedstock into and started operation of the ethane cracker, the operator said.

Official commissioning of the cracker follows CPCC’s earlier announcement in late 2017 that it had reached mechanical completion of the cracker and started a series of rigorous commissioning activities, system checks, and final certifications to ensure the unit’s safe and reliable startup.

CPCC previously told OGJ that it expects the cracker to achieve full-production rates sometime during 2018.
