The 1.5-million-ton-per-year high-performance polypropylene project of Zhongjing Petrochemical has been handed over!
On the morning of December 30, the commissioning ceremony was held for the Zhongjing Petrochemical’s largest high-performance polypropylene project, located in the Jiangyin Port City Economic Zone in Fuzhou. The project has an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons. This marks the completion of installation and acceptance testing, smoothly transitioning the project into the pre-production commissioning phase, thereby laying a solid foundation for its official start-up and operation next year.

On the morning of December 30, the handover ceremony was held for the Zhongjing Petrochemical’s largest high-performance polypropylene project, located in the Jiangyin Port City Economic Zone in Fuzhou. The project has an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons. This marks the completion of installation and acceptance testing, smoothly transitioning the project into the pre-production commissioning phase, thus laying a solid foundation for its official start-up and operation next year.
The Zhongjing Petrochemical high-performance polypropylene project, with an annual output of 1.5 million tons, covers an area of 60 mu and involves a total investment of 3.8 billion yuan. It is expected to generate an annual output value of 15 billion yuan and stimulate an additional 30 billion yuan in output value across upstream and downstream industries. This project represents today’s largest single-unit high-performance polypropylene facility globally.
The project, which began installation in June 2023 and is now undergoing completion and acceptance, took over 18 months to complete. During the engineering design, construction, and installation phases, numerous technical challenges were successfully overcome. The project employs a fully domestically developed proprietary technology—the combined process of vertical-kettle slurry polymerization and horizontal-kettle gas-phase polymerization—comprising three production lines that manufacture homopolymer or random copolymer polypropylene powder. This technology boasts significant advantages, including high efficiency, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness.
After the project goes into operation, it will provide high-quality raw materials for a variety of industries, including modified plastics, medical supplies, engineering plastics, meltblown fabric, automotive parts, non-woven fabrics, packaging materials, and construction materials, thereby filling the gap in high-performance polypropylene production in South China.
The Zhongjing Petrochemical Science and Technology Park, with a total investment of 50 billion yuan, is currently the only enterprise worldwide that boasts a complete industrial chain—from liquefied petroleum gas terminals and cryogenic tank farms to propane, propylene, polypropylene, and finally polypropylene films.
In 2024, Zhongjing Petrochemical was successively selected as one of China's Top 500 Enterprises, China's Top 500 Manufacturing Enterprises, and China's Top 500 Private Enterprises.
Weng Shengjin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Zhongjing Petrochemical, introduces:
Once the Zhongjing Petrochemical Science and Technology Park is fully operational, it will become the world’s largest enterprise for propylene production via propane dehydrogenation, with an annual output of 3.8 million tons, as well as the world’s largest single-site polypropylene producer, with an annual output of 4 million tons. This will contribute significantly to the rise of China’s manufacturing sector.
