ZPC's new PDH unit has nameplate capacity of 600,000 t/yr of propylene. ZPC has also built two new derivative units with the PDH plant:

1. A 260,000 t/yr acrylonitrile unit started up two weeks ago and is now running at 70pc.
2. A 400,000/250,000 t/yr phenol/acetone unit will be put into operation soon.

ZPC is building a No.3 naphtha-fed cracker, also with 1.4mn t/yr of ethylene capacity. The No.3 cracker will likely be put into operations late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of this year. Its integrated downstream units include a 300,000 t/yr ethylene vinyl acetate plant, a 400,000 t/yr low-density polyethylene line, a 280,000/600,000 t/yr propylene oxide/styrene monomer unit, a 100,000/800,000 t/yr EO/EG plant, a 450,000 t/yr PP line and a 400,000/250,000 t/yr phenol/acetone unit.
