韩国乐天化学11月中旬前将提高乙烯和丙烯产能

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯7月4日新加坡报道，韩国乐天化学株式会社（乐天化学）的消息人士周二表示，一直在寻求多元化原料来源的乐天化学将在今年11月中旬前通过增加一个新的液化石油气（LPG）裂解炉来完成消除其在丽水的烯烃产能的瓶颈。

这个使用丙烷作为原料的新裂解炉将被连接到其石脑油作为原料的蒸汽裂解装置。在完成消除烃烯产能的瓶颈后，丽水的乙烯年产能将从100万吨提高到120万吨，而丙烯的年产能将从52万吨提高到62万吨。

标普全球普氏能源资讯此前曾报道说，蒸汽裂解装置将在9月21日至10月31日之间进行预定的检修，乐天化学计划在此期将进行去瓶颈工作。

乐天化工在大山拥有另外一个石脑油为原料的蒸汽裂解装置，这个蒸汽装置具有年产100万吨乙烯和50万吨丙烯的能力。今年，大山蒸汽裂解装置没有任何检修计划。

在完成去瓶颈之后，乐天化学的乙烯和丙烯年产能将分别达到220万吨和112万吨，成为韩国最大的石化产品生产商之一。

S Korea's Lotte Chem to raise ethylene, propylene capacity by mid-Nov

South Korea's Lotte Chemical will complete debottlenecking of its olefins production capacity at Yeosu by mid-November through the addition of a new LPG cracking furnace, as it looks to diversify its feedstock slate, a company source said Tuesday.

The new furnace, which uses propane as a feedstock, will be linked to its naphtha-fed steam cracker. After the debottlenecking, ethylene production capacity at Yeosu will be raised to 1.2 million mt/year, from 1 million mt/year, and propylene to 620,000 mt/year, from 520,000 mt/year.

Prior to that, the steam cracker will undergo a scheduled turnaround between September 21 and October 31, during which it will undertake debottlenecking works, S&P Global Platts reported previously.

Lotte Chemical has another naphtha-fed steam cracker at Daesan, which has a production capacity of 1 million mt/year ethylene and 500,000 mt/year of propylene. No turnarounds are scheduled at the Daesan steam cracker this year.

Following the debottlenecking, Lotte Chemical's total ethylene and propylene capacity will reach 2.2 million mt/year and 1.12 million mt/year respectively, making it one of the largest petrochemical producers in South Korea.
