The Commissioning Test Was Successful Once! Heng Yi Brunei PMB Project Creates New Record In Petrochemical History

Build a refinery in two and a half years overseas.

Two month half Open a new factory.

This not only shows the speed of China's private enterprises.

It is also the pride of Sinopec going out.

It is also a good example of implementing the great initiative of "one belt and one road".

In November 3rd, after comprehensive commissioning, intermodal transportation and smooth operation, the PMB PX petrochemical project of Hengyi Brunei achieved the full process of the plant and put it into full operation. It successfully produced gasoline, diesel, aviation kerosene, and benzene and other products, marking the success of the Hengyi Brunei project commissioning test. At present, Hengyi Brunei PMB project is stable in production, and all the products are qualified. It has entered the stage of commercial operation and is expected to continuously increase its load in a relatively short time.

On the morning of November 3rd, Hengyi Industrial (Brunei) Limited held a brief celebration at the PMB project site to congratulate the PMB petrochemical project of Hengyi Brunei for its successful commissioning. Qiu Jianlin, chairman of Hengyi group, shared the joy with all the colleagues participating in the ceremony at the Hengyi headquarters through video link.

Before and after the Brunei project lasted seven years, it finally came to fruition. With the care and support of the Chinese government leaders and relevant departments, the project has been handed over from the first pile to the project for 2 and a half years. It has only taken 2 and a half months to complete the whole process and the commissioning test successfully, and achieved the goal of "zero fire, zero pollution and zero harm". This is the constant speed and the constant level. This is a miracle in the history of petrochemical industry in China and even in the history of investment and construction of world petrochemical industry.

Qiu Jianlin said excitedly: " You are the heroes of Hengyi and warriors of constant ease. You win glory for Hengyi people! You win glory for the Sinopec! On behalf of the board of directors of Hengyi group and Brunei company, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the colleagues who participated in the war and all the constructor and service providers involved in the project.

At the celebration ceremony, CEO Chen Liancai, vice president of Hengyi petrochemical and Hengyi Industrial (Brunei) Co., was choked with sobs for several times. He said: "I am proud of our team. Although our team is not formed for a long time, our spirit of teamwork, the attitude of working together and working overtime for 24 hours without complaint is our greatest asset." He pointed out that it is even more difficult to start businesses, and that petrochemical industry should maintain a long period of time without any safety accidents. This requires a very solid foundation and meticulous management. "We already have a very good foundation, and we need to do more meticulous and basic work next. We believe that we have the ability to make the plant run well in a long period of time and at the same time promote the two phase project in an orderly way."

Construction course

In March 2017, the first pile in the PMB island main installation area began construction.

2019 March , Completion of public works interchange; July , Complete the main equipment in full, and turn all the devices into the commissioning phase in the same month. ( )

In September 2019, Production of qualified intermediate products from atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit 。

Since the first time in 2012, we have been working quietly in order to turn a desert island into an environment-friendly and fully equipped industrial base. At home, the government will treat the land well, that is to say, three links and one level (water, electricity, roads, land leveling). Brunei, because of the weak industrial foundation, needs to spend a lot of manpower and resources to clear up all these vegetation and silt, sand fill and fill up the land, and then through dynamic consolidation, finally, the land can be used as an industrial land. Through a series of works such as clearing, filling, piling and dynamic compaction, Hengyi has expanded more than 100 hectares of land area for Brunei.

Many of the rare animals and plants on the grand Mora island are listed on the protection list. Before the construction of the project, Heng Yi worked with Brunei environmental protection department, professional consultants and Brunei university to develop a comprehensive migration plan. Migrate these rare animals and plants to suitable locations. Hengyi also set up 6 environmental monitoring points around the island, reporting data every day. In order to strictly enforce the environmental protection standards, it took more than ten months for Hengyi to finish the work that could be completed in three or four months.

During World War II, Brunei was invaded and occupied by Japan. The Japanese stationed camp on the eastern side of the island of great Mora. There were many historical bombs on the island. Hengyi discovered 53 bombs of various types before and after the island. The heaviest weight was 118 kilograms. All of them were recruited by the Brunei government in Singapore.

During the clearance process, a Royal Cemetery and a nearby village cemetery were also found on the island. Due to its unique historical, social and cultural reasons, in order to respect local religious beliefs and customs, Heng Yi hired the local construction company to do the graveyard protection. He also invited the Imam (Muslim to address the religious affairs officer of the mosque) to pacify the dead. Every year during the Ramadan, Hengyi specially sends cars to the nearby villagers to visit their ancestors to facilitate their going up and down the island.

Since the launch of the project, Heng Yi has always adhered to the principle of "sharing and sharing together", making big cakes and sharing cakes in open cooperation. Considering that Brunei's industrial foundation is weak and its environmental resources are limited, local public utility facilities can not carry such a large-scale investment project. The project planning and design is based on itself, and the hydropower demand of the project is solved by using self built power station and desalination plant. The rich electric power can also provide support for the local civil power grid, and fresh water and wharf resources can also be shared with other new investors. The main products of the project will mainly rely on overseas markets and internal downstream enterprises. In terms of environmental protection and emission reduction, the project will increase investment in protecting local financial contributions, creating jobs and revitalizing the industry, while preserving Brunei's "blue sky and blue sky".

The successful launch of the PMB project in Hengyi Brunei not only eliminates the uncertain risks in the construction period of overseas projects, but also has obvious advantages of the project itself, which can enjoy a preferential tax policy of up to 24 years. Crude oil purchase is convenient, refined oil can be digested locally in Brunei and sold to Southeast Asia nearby; the cost advantages of utility engineering and production facilities are obvious, and the unit production cost is greatly reduced.

The Hengyi Brunei PMB project is the first private refinery project in Hengyi to realize the international layout of production capacity and the implementation of China's "one belt and one road" initiative. At the same time, it is also a key project to speed up the upgrading of production capacity and implement the strategic development of polyester industrial chain. It promotes Sinopec's technical standards to go abroad and becomes a model of Sinopec's "going out". It is also the largest industrial investment project in Brunei, and promotes Brunei's major projects to achieve local industrialization of oil and gas resources.

At the same time, after the project is put into operation, it will complete the co allocation of assets of the group. We should truly realize the strategic goal of Hengyi group "one drop of oil and two threads" and gradually form a good pattern of international linkage and coordinated development. The business will extend from the existing middle and downstream industries such as "PTA, polyester filament, polyester bottle, polyester chip and CPL" to the upstream "PX, benzene and refining" links, and take the lead in achieving the balanced development mode from "crude oil refining to polyester and nylon double chain" in the industry, which is conducive to the integration of Hengyi industry, products and assets, globalization and balanced operation. It is conducive to enhancing Hengyi's continuous profitability and risk resisting ability, and is conducive to further consolidating, upgrading and optimizing the core competitiveness of the company, and promoting the continued and stable growth of the interests of shareholders.
