Petrochemical Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation Catalyst "Settled" in Fujian
On October 15, a reporter learned from the China Petroleum and Petrochemical Research Institute that the final batch of pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation catalyst has completed production and evaluation. The catalyst is expected to be shipped soon to Fujian United Petrochemical’s annual 800,000-ton ethylene plant, marking the first time a domestically developed catalyst will be used in a new-build ethylene facility. This development represents a significant breakthrough in the field of gasoline hydrogenation catalysts.
The petrochemical pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation catalyst is known for its strong adaptability to raw materials, high catalytic activity, and long service life. In July, the research institute successfully secured a major tender from Sinopec, ExxonMobil, and Saudi Aramco, outperforming the largest domestic catalyst company in a highly competitive bid. This achievement highlights the institute's technological edge and its ability to meet the demanding requirements of large-scale ethylene plants.
The pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation unit plays a crucial role in the ethylene production process. After hydrotreating, the pyrolysis gasoline is used to produce essential chemical feedstocks such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. Historically, large-scale domestic ethylene plants relied on imported catalysts for their initial operation to ensure technical performance and economic efficiency. Now, with the successful development of this domestic catalyst, it will be deployed for the first time in a Sino-foreign joint venture ethylene plant.
This milestone not only demonstrates the research institute’s capability in developing advanced catalyst technology but also confirms that its proprietary pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation catalyst has reached world-class standards. It marks a major step forward in China’s efforts to achieve self-reliance in critical petrochemical technologies and strengthens the country’s position in the global energy and chemical industry.
