摘要
The Ningbo Mitsubishi Chemical Company, Ltd. located in the Daxie Development Area of Ningbo has installed and tested its first 600 kt/a PTA unit and intends to provide the unit with feedstock by the end of November 2006, and make test run of this unit in December and deliver the first batch of products in January 2007. This company after commissioning of the said unit will construct the second 1.0 Mt/a PTA unit, which will be located side by side with the first unit to make full use of the existing utilities, such as the berth and the power plant. Furthermore, the Yisheng Chemical Company located in the Qingsi Development Area of Ningbo after putting on stream the phase I project （a 660 kt/a PTA unit） in August 2005 will soon engage in the test operation of the phase II project （a 600 kt/a PTA unit）, which is expected to reach its full load in late December 2006. This company has stored enough paraxylene and acetic acid for the new PTA production line. This company plans to construct the third PTA production line to boost its production capability to 2.0 Mt/a, with its investment totalling 10 billion RMB. In consequence, Ningbo city will become an important PTA production base of China.
