On March 8, Sinochem International started the construction of bisphenol A (BPA) facility as part of the first phase of C3 (3-carbon) chemical project in Sinochem Circular Economy Industrial Park in Lianyungang City.
The bisphenol A facility, which will have an annual capacity of 240,000 tons upon completion, will help improve the value of C3 products, and further foster the downstream sector of the refining industry.
The construction of the C3 project is expected to wrap up in June 2022, when it will yield 600,000 tons of PDH, 650,000 tons of phenol-acetone, 240,000 tons of BPA, 400,000 tons of PO and 150,000 tons of ECH annually.
