Fushun
Research Institute of Petroleum and Petrochemicals
(FRIPP), directly under the leadership of SINOPEC., was
founded in 1953 and is the first domestic research
institute engaged in the development of oil-related
technologies. After 50 years of strenuous and pioneering
efforts, FRIPP has grown into a comprehensive science
& technology development base with hydro-catalysis,
bioengineering, environmental protection, asphalt and
specialty waxes as the core research & development
fields, and petrochemical technology and research facility
development as key research fields.
FRIPP
locates in Wanghua District, Fushun, Liaoning and it
covers an area of 210000 square meters. It also possesses
more than 200 large-scale analysis equipments and nearly
200 bench-scale and pilot plant units for R&D of
refining and petrochemicals technologies, of which nearly
60 are world advanced hydrogenation plants.
The
main R & D activities of FRIPP are based in the
following areas:
* Hydrocracking processes and catalysts
* Distillates hydrofining processes and catalysts
* Residue hydrotreating processes and catalysts
* Paraffin waxes and special solvent oil hydrofining
processes and catalysts
* Semi-regenerative fixed-bed reforming processes and
catalysts
* Bioengineering technologies
* Technologies for treatment of waste gas, wastewater and
waste residue in oil fields and petrochemical plants
* Petroleum asphalt and specialty waxe products
* Fundamental research in hydroprocess catalysis
* Catalyst characterization
* Hydro-catalysis dynamics and process simulation software
* Crude oil evaluation and oil product analysis
* Standardization of petroleum wax
* Computer application
* Research facilities and equipments
By
the end of 2007, FRIPP has obtained over 332 scientific
and technological achievements, 20 of which were awarded
the state prizes for Scientific and Technological Progress
and Technology Invention. FRIPP has applied 1236 domestic
patents and 85 foreign patents, 838 of them were granted
patent rights. Nowadays, FRIPP’s hydro-catalysis
technologies have stepped up the best and worldwide
advanced. Such technology is one of the most important and
effective way to produce clean fuel. FRIPP has developed
several hydrocracking processes such as high pressure
hydrocracking, medium pressure hydrocracking, mild
hydrocracking, medium pressure hydroupgrading and related
10 categories, over 30 hydrocracking catalysts. In
hydrofining fields, FRIPP has developed high LHSV
pre-hydrofining for reformer feed, low pressure jet fuel
hydrofining, hydrotreating for heavy gas oil ,
hydroupgrading for poor quality diesel (MCI), FHI- diesel
hydroupgrading- isodewaxing process, hydrofining for
ultra-low sulfur diesel production, medium pressure
hydrofining for paraffin wax, FCC gasoline selective HDS
technology processes and related catalysts, which can meet
the needs of hydrotreating with feedstock for producing
clean fuels and high quality petroleum wax as well as
special oils. In residue hydrotreating fields, FRIPP has
developed 5 categories, around 50 catalysts, most of which
have been commercialized. FRIPP also has developed
high-grade road asphalt, emulsified asphalt and high
quality construction asphalt production technologies and
over 100 kinds of specialty waxes used in electronics,
rubber, agriculture, machinery, automobile, daily
chemistry etc, part of them have been applied worldwide.
In petrochemical and biochemical engineering, FRIPP has
successfully developed the methyl isobutyl ketone
synthesizing process via butene hydration and
dehydrogenation, diphenylamine synthesizing process from
aniline, biofermentation technology for producing long
chain dicarboxylic acid and Musk-T, and hot-melt adhesives
synthesizing process. In the field of environmental
protection, FRIPP has developed series of technologies for
treating waste gas, wastewater and waste residue in oil
fields and petrochemical plants, and possessed the Class A
Certificate for EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment).
Besides, the research facilities developed by FRIPP such
as true boiling point distillatory, cetane number analyzer
as well as the hydrogenation pilot plant units have also
been widely used in refineries.
FRIPP
is always active in providing related technical services
to customers, such as technical consultation, licensing
and package technology development. The achievements of
FRIPP have applied in enterprises in 24 provinces or
cities in China, which bring large economical benefits.
FRIPP
will adhere to its values of "Solidarity,
Development, Innovation and Preciseness" and strive
to build itself a world-class research center with
"first class facilities, first class professionals,
first class management and first class research
achievement" and provide more powerful technical
support for the continuous, effective and harmonious
development of SINOPEC.
