中国石化新闻网讯 据Oil & Gas Journal网站9月25日消息 埃克森美孚在苏格兰法夫的80万吨/年乙烯工厂将在未来2年内启动1.4亿英镑的追加投资计划，以升级关键基础设施，并引进将提高运营可靠性和性能的技术。 升级计划于2022年底完成。 法夫乙烯工厂经理Jacob McAlister表示：“这些计划中的投资表明了我们对该工厂长期可靠运营的承诺。” McAlister说：“虽然我们已经是欧洲同类工厂中最现代化的一家，但我们一直在寻找通过不断维护和投资新技术来提高可靠性和效率的方法。作为一项有竞争力的资产，法夫乙烯工厂有着长期的未来，并对地方和国家经济都有贡献。” 埃克森美孚英国分公司宣布这项最新投资之前，该公司4月份确认已达成最终投资决定，将继续进行8亿英镑的扩张投资，以使子公司埃索石油公司的超低硫柴油产量增加近45%。公司位于英国南安普敦附近的Fawley炼油和石化厂，产量为27万桶/日。 埃克森美孚也在5月份确认，它完成了一个7500万英镑的项目，使威尔士新港的高级人造橡胶生产厂的产能翻番。 王磊 摘译自 Oil & Gas Journal 原文如下： ExxonMobil plans upgrades at UK ethylene plant ExxonMobil Corp. is launching a £140-million additional investment program over the next 2 years at its 800,000-tonne/year ethylene plant in Fife, Scotland, to upgrade key infrastructure and introduce technologies that will improve operational reliability and performance. A portion of the investment will go toward technologies that reduce the impact of flaring, including a state-of-the-art flare tip, which will reduce noise and vibration, ExxonMobil said, without discussing additional details of the proposed project. The upgrades are scheduled to be completed by yearend 2022. “These planned investments demonstrate our commitment to long-term reliable operations at the site,” said Jacob McAlister, plant manager at the Fife ethylene plant. “While already one of the most modern plants of its kind in Europe, we are always looking for ways to improve reliability and efficiency through continued maintenance and investment in new technologies. Fife has a long-term future as a competitive asset, contributing to both the local and national economies,” McAlister said. Announcement of this latest investment by ExxonMobil’s UK operations follows the company’s April confirmation that it reached a final investment decision to proceed with an £800-million expansion to increase production of ultralow-sulfur diesel by nearly 45% at subsidiary Esso Petroleum Co.’s 270,000-b/d Fawley refining and petrochemical complex near Southampton, UK (OGJ Online, Apr. 24, 2019; Sept. 20, 2018). ExxonMobil also confirmed in May that it completed a £75-million project to double capacity of the advanced elastomers production plant in Newport, Wales.
