SIPC 1.2 million tonne ethylene project was completed and put into operation in Tianjin

On 13th November the new ethylene complex operated by SIPC, also known as the 'ethylene and downstream high-end new materials industry cluster project', was successfully put into operation and the whole process was completed, producing qualified products. Sinopec INEOS (Tianjin) Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (SIPC) is a joint venture between INEOS and SINOPEC. The project is built in the Nangang area of the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zone.

The steam cracker plant with a 1.2 million tonne per year of ethylene is designed to provide 4 million tons annually of high-end chemical products and fine chemical feedstocks to the downstream every year. There are 13 downstream projects including high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylonitrile, and polyolefin elastomers (POE).

The new ethylene complex, partly powered by solar and designed as an energy and water efficient project, is integrated with Sinopec Tianjin's 320,000 barrels per day refinery, Sinopec commented. The company uses a combination of Sinopec's own technology and imported technology to produce high-end, differentiated new materials that replace imports and fill domestic gaps.

The project took only 21.5 months from the start of civil construction to mechanical completion, breaking many records for similar projects, including the best overall coordinated control plan, the least number of workers, the deepest degree of factory prefabrication, the largest proportion of modular installation, the highest rate of localization of large equipment, and the widest application of digital intelligence.

INEOS has completed the formation of a 50/50 joint venture with SINOPEC for the Tianjin Nangang Ethylene Project, announced in December 2022, which is currently under construction by SINOPEC and expected to be on-stream by April 2024.

The petrochemical complex includes a 1.2 mtpa cracker, a new 500ktpa High-Density Polyethylene plant to produce INEOS pipe grade under license and 11 other derivative units.

The completion of the agreement today marks the continued progression of the significant petrochemical deals announced by the parties in July and December last year, and highlights the close relationship and growing collaboration between SINOPEC and INEOS.

The second shipment with the last 5 massive storage bullets for the INEOS Project One has just arrived on board the MV Fairmaster for discharging in  Antwerp.

Both the first shipment with the MV Fairplayer and this voyage from Zhangjiagang,  China, were organized by deugro within a tight schedule from order to loading!

The details of the shipment are:

50,572.4m³ Total Volume
6,547.8 metric tons Total weight


24 Sept 2024, INEOS + AG&P INDUSTRIAL

AG&P Industrial (Atlantic, Gulf, & Pacific Company of Manila, Inc.) has completed the fabrication and shipment of the first batch of Outside Battery Limit (OSBL) modules with a total weight of 1,432.47MT for its first-ever  European contract with London-based INEOS, the fourth largest chemical company in the world. Fabricated in AG&P Industrial’s state-of-the art fabrication yard in Batangas,  Philippines, the modules were shipped to Port of Antwerp, Belgium, the second largest chemical site in the world.

AG&P Industrial, selected from among top 15 yards globally, to ship a total of 77 pre-assembled pipe rack modules and 58 pre-assembled support structures, weighing 10,443 MT for modules and 274 MT for support structures for INEOS Project ONE. AG&P Industrial’s last shipment is expected sail by February 2025.


5 Nov 2024, Project Cargo Journal

International transport and logistics company AsstrA recently completed the first phase of the OSBL module transportation for the Ineos Project One.
The company’s Industrial Project Logistics team moved a total of eight modules from the Philippines to Belgium via the Cape of Good Hope. Some of the modules measured 39 x 12 x 11 metres.

According to AsstrA, the delivery marks a milestone for Asstra Industrial Project Logistics as it is projected to transport almost 100 modules under this contract. It equates to more than 230,000 cubic metres of cargo.

The first batch of modules was transported by one of United Heavy Lift’s F900 heavy-lift multipurpose vessel, the UHL Flair.


Project One represents the largest investment in European chemistry in the past 25 years. The cracker, which will be the most sustainable of its kind, will be commissioned in 2026, according to Ineos. The facility will have a nameplate capacity of 1450kt of ethylene per year.

Gunvor Group is temporarily halting its Rotterdam oil refinery because it’s not making enough money, the latest sign that the continent’s plants are struggling to compete with upstarts in other parts of the world.

Effective Nov. 25, the so-called economic halt is due to a lack of prompt availability of commercially viable feedstock, the company said in a statement. Gunvor said it will “continue to monitor the situation and assess future resupply for the refinery in due course.”

With a processing capacity of 75,000 barrels a day, the plant is relatively tiny. Still, it joins a growing list of European refineries with plans to either halt or downsize, including the Wesseling and Gelsenkirchen plants in Germany and the Grangemouth facility in Scotland.

Europe’s refineries are under pressure from large, new plants, including in the Middle East and Africa, such as Nigeria’s giant new Dangote refinery. The rival fuelmakers can send what they make to Europe, and also compete for market share elsewhere in the world.

The Ineos plant in Addyston early October

INEOS Group Ltd. announced its decision to permanently close its ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) production site in Addyston, Ohio. The Company will commence a safe and responsible decommissioning process in the second quarter of 2025.

The Addyston site manufactures ABS and SAN (styrene acrylonitrile) polymers that are used in a wide variety of applications and industries, including Automotive, Household, Healthcare, and Construction. INEOS, through its Styrolution business remains dedicated to serving the North American ABS market and will continue to serve affected customers from our other production facilities in North America and within its global footprint.

The Council for Permit Disputes has annulled the licence for the chemical company Ineos Aromatics to operate in Geel and Laakdal. According to the council's president, Thursday's annulment means Ineos Aromatics must cease operations until a new licence can be obtained, but Ineos denies this.

Petroineos, a Joint Venture between INEOS and PetroChina, has announced its intention to cease refinery operations at Grangemouth and transition to a finished fuels import terminal and distribution hub during the second quarter of 2025, subject to consultation with employees.

Situated on the Firth of Forth on Scotland’s east coast, Grangemouth Refinery is the oldest of the six remaining refineries in the  UK and the only refinery in Scotland. Grangemouth refining capacity stands at 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

A spokesman for Petroineos said that in the last week, the refinery has lost around 500,000 US dollars (£381,000) per day, and absorbed total losses of 775 million US dollars (£590 million): “it is hard to conceive that any owner would be able or willing to sustain losses on this scale indefinitely and in the face of competitive pressure from newer, more modern facilities across Europe and elsewhere in the world” the spokesperson added.

Other INEOS businesses at Grangemouth, namely INEOS O&P UK and INEOS FPS (Forties Pipeline System), will continue as normal delivering high quality services and products to customers and are largely unaffected by this change, Ineos stated.
