The plant is a new production line of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), the capacity of which is designed for 262,000 tons per annum (8,200 hours base). The plant is located at Luoyang, Henan Province, the People's Republic of China, about 1,000 kilometers inland from Tianjin. Chiyoda Corporation's role as the engineering and procurement contractor was as the supplier ofj licenses and know-how, basic engineering, supply of specific items of equipment and materials, technical service and supervising construction / commissioning / start-up and training. The detailed engineering was performed by SINOPEC Luoyang Petro-Chemical Engineering Company. The main construction was carried out by SINOPEC The Fifth Construction Company with the supervision of Chiyoda, under the overall control of the end-user, SINOPEC Luoyang Petro-Chemical Complex. The contract was signed by China Petro-Chemical International Company (SINOPEC Inter) and Chiyoda Corporation on January 30, 1997, and the work started effectively on May 26, 1997. The mechanical completion was scheduled for March 2000 and completed on March 18, 2000 just as planned. Following the mechanical completion, the raw materials were initially charged on May 25, and the first production of PTA meeting the specification was delivered on May 29. As the performance test is scheduled for this coming August, this project is at the very last stage and project members are making every effort to complete it. Two topics are highlighted. First of all, no lost time accident has been recorded at the Job-site to this date. Secondly, we are proud that we could manage without any trouble the long haul of equipment and materials such as huge-sized reactor, towers and compressor, which were barged from Shanghai to Wuhan on the Yangtze River, and then transported to Luoyang by trailer. Some other materials were transported from Tianjin Xingang Seaport to the deep inland Luoyang by train, a distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers. 收起
