The 30,000 tons annual n-hexane separation unit of Shandong Luqing Petrochemical Co., Ltd. has achieved a successful first-time commissioning.

On April 9, 2024, the 30,000 tons annual n-hexane separation unit, part of the 120,000 tons annual isooctane alkylation unit industrial chain extension project of Shandong Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical Co., Ltd. for which our company undertook the design, achieved a successful first-time commissioning and produced qualified products with a n-hexane purity of over 95%.
After the signing of the project contract, the Project Management Department of our company assembled a team of capable professionals to conduct meticulous design, optimize the scheme, and actively cooperate with on-site construction to complete the design documents in a timely manner, laying a solid foundation for the smooth commissioning of the unit.
N-hexane is one of the most widely used hydrocarbon solvents in industry and also one of the most representative non-polar solvents. As an important solvent and chemical raw material, it has been widely applied in industries such as polymer materials, rubber, industrial pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food analysis and so on. In addition, high-content n-hexane is also one of the important organic solvents used in analytical testing and scientific research in analytical laboratories. High-purity n-hexane sold in the domestic organic solvent market mainly relies on imports and is very expensive.
The successful first-time start-up of this unit has extended the industrial chain integrating the existing units of Shandong Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical Co., Ltd., which will greatly improve the comprehensive economic benefits of the enterprise. At the same time, it once again demonstrates Zhida's strength in the design field of such units.
