March 26 marked a significant milestone as Sinopec Jiujiang Petrochemical held the groundbreaking ceremony for its aromatics and refinery upgrading project, including the hydrocracking and product refining units. The ceremony coincided with the start of pile foundation construction, officially ushering in the project's implementation phase. Senior executives including Cai Peiyuan, Deputy General Manager of Jiujiang Petrochemical, and Li Huihuang, Chief Financial Officer of the company, attended alongside representatives from Sinopec Petroleum Construction Shengli Corporation, Anhui Wideway, and project team members.

The new facilities will comprise a 2600KTA hydrocracking unit and a product refining unit. Upon completion, this strategic upgrade will enable Jiujiang Petrochemical to achieve dual objectives: doubling production capacity while halving pollution emissions. This initiative not only aligns with national energy security strategies but also propels the refinery towards becoming an environmentally conscious, intelligent petrochemical enterprise.
