Propylene production process for naphtha pyrolysis (divided into steam cracking and catalytic cracking of two), CTP/MTO/MTP and propane / mixed alkane dehydrogenation.

Propylene is really a lot of ways of making money in 2016!

The main production process for propylene naphtha pyrolysis (divided into steam cracking and catalytic cracking of two), CTP/MTO/MTP and propane / mixed alkane dehydrogenation. As of 2016, China’s propylene production capacity distribution in the three kinds of process routes accounted for as follows:

The shock upward trend in 2016 of domestic propylene market, prices gradually move the center of gravity.

The annual price appeared in January, the Shandong market price of 4700 yuan / ton factory, the January has been hovering at 4700-5000 yuan / ton;

Since February the center of gravity, to mid April prices broke through 6000 yuan / ton;

In June the price slightly downward, running in the range of 5850-6100 yuan / ton;

The second half of the price spiral, constantly refresh a new high this year, the market price of 8000 yuan / ton at the end of the peak, the highest price reached 8100 yuan / ton. However, different production line, the profit situation is also facing different circumstances.

For the traditional oil line, propylene is a by-product, the upstream and downstream facilities, the ability to resist risk is relatively strong. The refinery has been in surplus, the future of the new rare. Due to price fluctuations and propylene crude oil Correlation is large, so the ability to resist risk of the traditional process is relatively strong.

Coal chemical industry, coal is 2015-2017 and methanol to olefins production concentrated outbreak stage, East China and northwest will have multiple sets of capacity investment and construction, coal and methanol to olefins production capacity will expand rapidly. However, in the era of low oil prices, coal chemical route profitability constraints of large, 16 annual profit is not ideal.

Compared with the traditional route and the coal chemical industry, in recent years, the next period of time, most notably PDH device has a good development momentum. PDH device with propane gas source, dehydrogenation to propylene and propylene industry chain down equipped with various downstream products, polypropylene, propylene oxide, butyl alcohol and acrylic acid are involved, 16 year earnings considerable.
