Chapter 769

After President Li finished speaking, he and Li Rufeng's little uncle looked at Yang Dongsheng.

This is Yang Dongsheng's choice!
Large-scale industrial enterprises have always had larger output, lower cost and higher profit.

A 100-million-ton ethane cracking plant can reach the world-class level. If it is divided into two halves, a plant with only 50 tons is not enough.

Both wanted to eat the 100 million tons of ethane in Yang Dongsheng's hands alone!

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "The country is now in a critical period of economic development! Although we are a private enterprise, we should also actively contribute to the country. I will immediately gather personnel, re-establish the production plan, and strive to increase the annual output of the first phase of the project to More than 200 million tons. Although this will delay a lot of time, we will strive to start production in the second half of next year at the latest, so as not to delay your project. What do you think?"

Although the construction period of ethane to ethylene is shorter than that of naphtha to ethylene, the construction of such a large project will take one and a half to two years.

Even if they start working now, Yang Dongsheng's ethane supply can fully keep up.

What's more, as far as Yang Dongsheng knows, domestic oil refining and chemical technology is still far behind that of the West, and the technology and equipment may have to be imported, which alone will take a lot of effort.

Although Yang Dongsheng's approach was suspicious, everyone was happy with the result.

Everyone came out of the private room and got into the car.

Yang Dongsheng immediately called up the [-]D map. He wanted to move the ethane from Russia to a safe place as much as possible, when his cell phone rang.

Yang Dongsheng took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Li Rufeng calling.

"Dongsheng, can you tell me how much your ethane production can reach?" Li Rufeng heard Yang Dongsheng's words just now, leaving a lot of margin, "Ethylene production is related to all aspects of the national economy. , the leader attaches great importance to this matter, and recently inspected several factories specially! Moreover, there is no mature ethane-to-ethylene technology in China, so we have to go abroad to introduce related technologies and equipment. If we can introduce more sets at the same time, we will There will be more room for negotiation.”

"To tell you the truth, our large-scale production of ethane from coalbed methane is different from any existing technology." Of course, Yang Dongsheng must boast.

If it is just a conventional method to separate ethane from coalbed methane, others will be exposed when they look at the plant and equipment.

And even the natural gas with high ethane content found so far, the ethane content will not exceed 10%.

If they say they have discovered coal seam gas, which is particularly rich in ethane, they will inevitably attract red eyes.

Just 100 million tons of ethane has attracted two of the three barrels of oil at once!

Only then did Yang Dongsheng continue, "This technology is still in the experimental stage, and the cost will not come down for a while. I have to check the cost of making ethylene from ethane first. If too much is produced, it will affect the whole company's health. Profit has an impact."

"I have learned a little about this recently. Last year, the ex-factory price of polyethylene in the country was basically more than 1 yuan per ton. The profit margin of manufacturers to dealers was basically between 1% and 1%. Our country's polyethylene The gap is huge, and the price is estimated to not drop significantly this year and next!" Li Rufeng said.

"What about the production costs of ethylene and polyethylene?"

What Li Rufeng said was polyethylene, not ethylene.

The transportation of ethylene is difficult, and the direct ethylene trading volume has been very small over the years, because more than half of the world's ethylene is used to produce polyethylene, which is usually represented by the price of polyethylene.

"According to this investigation, the loss of ethylene to polyethylene production is basically less than 3%, and the production cost per ton is about 1000. As for the cost of ethane to ethylene? There is no domestic factory that uses this process. I checked some There are no direct figures for the data, so I can only roughly estimate it myself. The production cost of one ton of ethylene should be between 1000 and 1500 by using ethane cracking to produce ethylene. The cost of one ton of ethane is only 100 to [-] US dollars, and the final cost of a ton of ethylene is less than [-] US dollars. I don’t know how reliable this figure is.”

Yang Dongsheng also feels that the latter statement is unreliable, and the previous set of data shall prevail.

So even if a ton of ethane is sold for 6000 yuan, it is still profitable to use ethane to make ethylene.

One ton of ethane is about 750 cubic meters, equivalent to 8 yuan per cubic meter, which is much more expensive than selling methane.

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "If the current price can be maintained, I am sure to produce 500 million tons of ethane by the end of next year! Within three years, I can increase the production capacity of ethane to more than 1000 million tons!"

"Okay! Go ahead and do it, I'll write the report tonight!"

The car has already driven into the parking lot of Yang Dongsheng's residence next to the Forbidden City.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Dongsheng didn't get out of the car, and he didn't put the phone back immediately. He was thinking about whether he could eat two fish with one fish?
The current ethylene industry is very similar to the iron and steel industry in the 90s, and the proper meat and potatoes are enough for Yang Dongsheng to make a good article.

The boiling point of ethane is minus 88.6 degrees, and the boiling point of ethylene is even lower, reaching minus 103.7 degrees. Both of these things are not easy to transport over long distances, so ethylene refining is basically an integrated device.

It is basically certain that where Yang Dongsheng supplies ethane, they have to build factories there, and further process it into polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, styrene and other products that are easy to transport.

According to the yield of ethylene from ethane, nearly 100 tons of ethylene can be produced from 80 million tons of ethane.

Among them, 60 tons are used to produce polyethylene, 20 tons are used to produce polyvinyl chloride, and the output can reach millions of tons.

The output value of these two items alone can reach more than 100 billion, plus the by-product hydrogen, and the downstream industries derived from it can create a GDP of tens of billions.

This is a huge political achievement for any place.

Yang Dongsheng can use this to negotiate prices with various places and ask for some benefits!
Yang Dongsheng took out his mobile phone and first called his old acquaintance, Director Hu of the Guazhou Iron and Steel Plant.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang! I have written down this favor, and I will report it to the leader immediately." Factory Manager Hu was very excited after hearing this.

Although he doesn't know much about ethylene production, but he heard that it would cost [-] to [-] billion just to build a factory, so he already knows how much achievement this represents.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Dongsheng called Yu, who was working in Rongzhou City, Sichuan Province. Rongzhou's coal reserves ranked first in Sichuan Province.

I also received repeated gratitude from classmate Yu, and classmate Yu is going to report this matter to the monitor of their team.

Then there are large coal cities such as southern Shandong and Wumengshan City in Guizhou Province, as well as large coal provinces such as Jin Province, Henan Province, and Yi Province.

After making these calls, Yang Dongsheng called Vice President Zhao and Yang Huai of Dongsheng Mining to get them ready.

The distribution ratio of ethane is determined according to the number and size of oil wells contracted in the next year!
