中国石化新闻网讯 据OGJ网站7月3日休斯顿报道,总部设在瑞士罗尔的著名石化公司英力士集团日前披露了一个27亿欧元的资本项目,在欧洲北部建造一个新的乙烷裂解装置和一个新的丙烷脱硫装置。
运营商英利士集团表示,尽管这个项目的具体位置尚未确定,但英力士集团已指派一个项目团队来考虑新项目的选址问题。这两个项目都将从美国的页岩气经济中受益。
英利士集团说,这个计划在4年内完成的项目——很有可能将位于西北欧海岸——将包括欧洲20多年来第一个新建造的裂解装置并成为英利士集团在全球同类型中最高效和最环保的工厂。
英利士集团负责北欧烯烃和聚合物业务的首席执行官弗兰肯说:“这个新项目将提高英力士集团在所有关键烯烃产品上的自给自足能力,并进一步支持我们在欧洲的衍生物业务和聚合物厂,我们所有的资产都将从我们从美国和世界其他地方进口有竞争力的原材料的能力中受益。”

Ineos unveils plans for €2.7-billion European petrochemical complex
Ineos AG, Rolle, Switzerland, has approved a €2.7-billion capital project to build both a grassroots ethane cracker and propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit in northern Europe.
While a precise location for the project has yet to be determined, Ineos has assigned a project team to consider options for the new units, both of which will be designed to benefit from US shale gas economics, the operator said.
Scheduled to be completed within 4 years, the project—which likely will be on the coast of northwestern Europe—would include the first new cracker to be built in Europe in more than 20 years, as well as become one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly plants of its type in the world, Ineos said.
“This new project will increase Ineos’ self-sufficiency in all key olefin products and give further support to our derivatives business and polymer plants in Europe; all our assets will benefit from our ability to import competitive raw materials from the [US] and the rest of the world,” said Gerd Franken, chief executive officer of Ineos Olefins & Polymers Europe (North).
