我国乙烯工业仍具较大发展空间

Big Room for Development for China's Ethane Industry

2004年,我国乙烯生产能力达到了606万吨,乙烯产量为626.49万吨,较2003年约增长了2.4%。如果新建和改扩建乙烯项目均能如期实施,到2005年底,我国乙烯产能将达到888万吨,2010年将超过1600万吨。我国乙烯消费增长远超过产能的增加,未来几年需求将以8%的速度增长。预计到2005年我国乙烯当量消费供需缺口仍将达994万吨,到2010年将达到1142万吨。从目前的整体情况看,我国乙烯工业还有较大的发展空间。未来几年,我国石化工业的主要任务是增加乙烯总量,集中布局,走炼化一体化的道路,形成资源配置合理、技术先进、产品适应市场的几个具有国际竞争力的世界级乙烯生产基地。

China's ethane production capacity amounted to 6. 06 million tons in 2004, with 6.2647 tons of ethane actually produced, improving the 2003 figures by 2. 4%. If the new and expanded ethane projects are implemented as scheduled, China's ethane production capacity will rise to 8.88 million tons by the end of 2005, and exceed 160 million tons by 2010. But the increase in China's ethane consumption is much larger than the ethane production. It is estimated that the demand for ethane products in China will increase at an average rate of 8% over the next few years. The gap between ethane demand and supply will increase C to 9.94 million tons by 2005 and 11.19 million tons by 2010. Given the general development regarding ethane in China, there is still much room for improvement for the ethane production in China. The top task for the Chinese petrochemical industry over the coming years is to increase the ethane production, concentrate ethane producers geographically, and integrate smelting and petrochemical production, to establish a few world- class ethane production bases, featuring adequate resource allocation, leading-edge technologies and market-tailored products.
