On November 20, BP Group held a grand ceremony in Zhuhai to mark the official commissioning of the second phase of the PTA plant at Zhuhai BP Chemical Co., Ltd. This milestone represents a major step forward for the company and underscores BP’s long-term commitment to sustainable industrial development in China. As the first Sino-foreign joint venture dedicated to producing and selling PTA in China, Zhuhai BP Chemical has been a symbol of successful collaboration between BP and Fuhua Group, with BP holding an 85% stake and Fuhua Group 15%.
Established in 1997, the company launched its first PTA unit in January 2003. Following one year of process optimization and system upgrades, the capacity of the first-phase plant was expanded from 350,000 tons per year to 500,000 tons. The second phase, which began construction in June 2006 and started operations in December 2007, has a design capacity of 900,000 tons annually. With a total investment exceeding $660 million, the combined production capacity now reaches 1.5 million tons per year, making Zhuhai BP one of the largest PTA producers in China.
As a global leader in the PTA industry, BP operates seven PTA plants worldwide, including three joint ventures in Asia and four wholly-owned facilities in Malaysia, Europe, and the U.S. The Zhuhai plant is equipped with BP’s most advanced production technologies and management systems. Not only has it set new benchmarks in production capacity and safety, but it has also significantly reduced environmental impact by cutting emissions of the “three wastes†and improving energy efficiency.
The second phase of the Zhuhai PTA project has achieved remarkable results in both energy conservation and pollution control. Compared to traditional methods, it has cut energy consumption by 40% from the first phase and further reduced it in the second phase. Greenhouse gas emissions have dropped by 65%, waste liquid emissions by 75%, and solid waste by 40%. These improvements not only reflect BP’s dedication to sustainability but also contribute to cost savings and enhanced economic returns for the company and its partners.
