Jilin Economic Development Zone promotes fine chemical industry

Jilin Economic Development Zone, with a total investment of more than 3 billion yuan, Jilin Cornell Company 600,000 tons of methanol to olefin project will be vigorously promoted. This is the most important of the 50 projects with an investment of more than 50 million yuan implemented by Jilin Economic Development District this year, and it is also a major measure to promote the fine chemical industry to supplement the "short board". Ethylene and propylene are known as the "food" of chemical industry. At present, the development of fine chemical industry itself in the economic development zone has appeared "food shortage", which seriously restricts the development of the chemical industry. In particular, ethylene and propylene two raw materials are flammable and explosive, and the transportation radius is limited, and relying on outsourcing can not effectively make up for the shortage of raw materials in the chemical industry. After full demonstration, Jilin Kaner Chemical Co., LTD., the leading fine chemical enterprise in Jilin Economic Development Zone, chose the route of coal chemical to produce low carbon olefin. The first phase of the methanol to olefin project will be completed in August 2017, which will bring billions of new output value and hundreds of millions of profits after completion and operation, and can also significantly reduce the amount of ethylene and propylene purchased by local enterprises and reduce the safety risks in the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals. Fine chemical industry is the main direction to promote the transformation and upgrading of chemical industry in Jilin Economic Development Zone. After years of development, it has become a pillar industry in this zone, with a comprehensive production capacity of nearly 3 million tons/year. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Jilin Economic Development Zone plans to build a well-known domestic fine chemical industry base, and the fine chemical industry will achieve an output value of 30 billion yuan by 2020, and the rate of fine chemical products will reach 60%.
