Jointly leading the development of digital intelligence in the petrochemical industry

The smooth “renewal” between Zhejiang Petrochemical and Schneider Electric is a continuation of the long-term cooperation between the two sides. As early as 2017, Schneider Electric deployed a plant-wide Triconex SIS safety instrumentation system and gas detection and alarm system (GDS) for the first phase of Zhejiang Petrochemical’s 40 million tons/year refining and chemical integration project. Then, in 2022, Zhejiang Petrochemical deployed Schneider Electric’s AVEVA APC advanced process control system and AVEVA RTO real-time optimization system, covering several sets of wax oil catalytic device, 4.5 million tons/year heavy oil catalytic device and propane-dehydrogenation devices. The agreement was signed to deploy the Triconex SIS safety instrumentation system in high-performance resins and high-end new materials projects. In the future, the two sides also plan to launch a new round of exchanges and cooperation in multiple fields such as dual-carbon consulting, big data management platform, and real-time optimization.

Luo Wei, Executive Director of Zhejiang Petrochemical, said at the signing ceremony: “Over the years, we have continuously strengthened cooperation with Schneider Electric, laying a solid foundation for the understanding of the needs of both sides, tacit cooperation and mutual trust, and also providing strong support for reaching this strategic cooperation. In the future, the two sides will carry out deeper and broader cooperation in order to provide more beneficial guidance and positive reference for China’s petrochemical industry to accelerate the upgrade of digital intelligence and the construction of smart factories.”

As a leading enterprise in the field of domestic petrochemical industry, Zhejiang Petrochemical firmly practices the new industrialization road, upholds the bottom line of green and safe development, and continuously improves its core competitiveness by actively promoting the integrated development of new technologies, new processes, new products and new formats, and is committed to becoming the industry benchmark for adapting to the scientific and technological revolution and industrial change. In this process, Schneider Electric, as a strategic partner of Zhejiang Petrochemical’s digital transformation for many years, will continue to give strong support on its digital and green low-carbon dual transformation path, join hands to open a new journey of cooperation, and jointly promote the acceleration of digital intelligence upgrading of China’s petrochemical industry and achieve high-quality sustainable development.
