The complex is an integrated petrochemical complex, the major facilities of the complex include 11 process units, steam and power generation and other utility provisions, storage and handling and shipping facilities, as well as effluent treatment and environmental protection facilities. The majority of the production facilities are world-scale and all are being designed to international standards.
The heart of the complex is a world-scale cracker producing 950,000 tpa ethylene and 500,000 tpa propylene. It is designed to take naphtha as well as heavy feedstock such as condensate. This is the first of its kind in China.
In total, the complex will produce some 2.7million tpa of products. It will supply products primarily to Guangdong and the high consumption areas of China's southeast coastal economic zones where demand is projected to remain strong.
