BASF-YPC Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as 'BASF-YPC') has successfully installed several of ABB's process analyzer systems in their newly-integrated C4 complex。
Introduction
The newly-integrated C4 complex consists of a butadiene extraction plant, an isobutene extraction plant, a plant for highly reactive poly-isobutene, and a 2-propyl-heptanol plant. The existing oxo-C4 plant is also expanded.
Company profile
BASF-YPC, a 50:50 joint venture between two FORTUNE 500 companies – BASF and SINOPEC, is regarded as a role model of successful Sino-German cooperation. It is located close to the Yangtze River in Liuhe District of Nanjing Municipality, abuts the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park (NCIP), where BASF-YPC enjoys a favorable environment for further expansion as well as synergies with neighboring enterprises.
ABB Analytical System Integration Unit (SIU) in Shanghai is a wholly-owned foreign enterprise in operation since 2002, delivering total turnkey analyzer systems to projects around the world.
Project overview
BASF-YPC began constructing the first phase of its Integrated Petrochemical Site in September 2001, which started commercial operation in June 2005. With an investment amounting to USD 2.9 billion, BASF-YPC built 10 world-scale process plants with a steam cracker plant of 600,000 tonne/year ethylene as the centerpiece in the first project phase. All plants employ state-of-the-art technology and BASF exclusive 'Verbund' concept to realize energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness and minimize environmental impact. The site also has a gas turbine combined cycle power plant and several international ports to ensure optimum energy supply and logistics.
In September 2009, BASF-YPC initiated the second phase development, with an investment of around USD 1.4 billion in total, including expansions of existing plants and construction of new facilities.
The commercial operation began in January 2012. The existing steam cracker was expanded to produce 740,000 tonne/year of ethylene along with the expansion of the existing ethylene oxide plant and the construction of a new ethylene oxide purification unit.
New plants in the expanded ethylene oxide derivatives value chain include a non-ionic surfactants plant, an amines complex for the production of ethanolamines, ethyleneamines and dimethylethanolamine, and a dimethylaminoethyl acrylate plant.
The newly integrated C4 complex consists of a butadiene extraction plant, an isobutene extraction plant, a plant for highly reactive polyisobutene, and a 2-propyl-heptanol plant. The existing oxo-C4 plant was also expanded.
Analysis of butadiene, isobutene, poly-isobutene and 2-propyl-heptanol
Analysis of butadiene, isobutene, poly-isobutene and 2-propyl-heptanol at the BASF-YPC Nanjing plant is securely carried through by analyzer houses equipped with accurate and reliable ABB Analytical Systems / Analyzers; designed and manufactured by ABB System Integration Unit (SIU).
What are the main benefits?
We ask Mrs Zhu Wei, Senior Engineer, Process Analyzers at BASF-YPC what are the main benefits with ABB and the System Integration Unit (SIU).
"In general we have excellent communication with the ABB technical staff. When we have questions we always get good and fast response from them"
Additional comments on the cooperation BASF-YPC & ABB from Mr Helmut Kaul, Senior Automation Engineer, Process Analytical Technology, Engineering & Maintenance, Ludwigshafen, Germany。
