Improving The Flexibility Of Chemical Fiber Industry Based On High Quality Development

2018 is the 40th anniversary year of reform and opening up. In this year, the international situation and China's strategic decisions are superimposed. Social tides and industrial cyclical fluctuations are intertwined, and are doomed to be extraordinary and unpeaceful.

This year, the overall operation of China's chemical fiber industry is in good quality and efficiency. We will continue to deepen structural reforms on the supply side, enhance the adaptability and flexibility of the supply structure to demand changes, guide enterprises to put more energy into product research and development, and steadily advance in the road of technological innovation, green development, intelligent manufacturing and raw material innovation.

Science and technology: achievements bloom more

In 2018, the chemical fiber industry could blossom more and more at the level of technological innovation.

For many years, the most rewarding award in the field of carbon fiber has been harvested, and the "integrated technology project of efficient reuse of waste polyester and fiber preparation industrialization" developed by Ningbo Dafa Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. has won the two prize in international science and technology progress in 2018. "The industrialization of Lyocell fiber industrialization technology and equipment development", "super Imitation cotton polyester fiber and its textile industrialization technology development", "electrostatic spray deposition carbon nanotubes reinforced carbon fiber and its composite material key preparation technology and application", "coarse Dan nylon 6 monofilament and sub fiber precursor spinning high speed spinning key technology and equipment" and so on four items have won the first prize of "textile light" 2018 China Textile Industry Federation science and technology award. The key technology and application of dry jet wet spinning 1000 tons of high strength / 100 ton middle modulus carbon fiber industrialization has won the first prize of national science and technology progress in 2017.

Especially at the end of 2018, the first national production line of Lyocell fiber production line with an annual output of 30 thousand tons was successfully driven, running smoothly, and the product quality meets the design requirements.

The industrialization project adopts the technology of Lyocell fiber industrialization with independent intellectual property rights, which is independently developed by China Textile Science Research Institute Co., Ltd., and is the first line and 30 thousand tons production line independently designed and manufactured by China's first technology and equipment. It is the continuation of 18 years' research from the beginning of 1998 to the achievement of the industrialization of 10000 tons.

The success of this project is a breakthrough in localization of fiber in China.

Intelligent Manufacturing: steadily advancing

2018 is a year of steady progress in intelligent manufacturing of chemical fiber industry.

This year, the whole process of digital fiber production, industrial chain Intelligent Production Traceability system, chemical fiber production intelligent logistics system, intelligent demonstration factory and intelligent workshop emerge in an endless stream, greatly promoting the efficient development of the industry.

In February 2018, Hengyi petrochemical and Ali Yun reached a strategic cooperation and launched the code named "Hengyi industrial brain and flying rabbit action" project. After 4 months' adjustment and optimization, the efficiency of coal-fired power generation has been increased by 2.6% without upgrading equipment and raw materials and production processes. The project has broadened the efficiency of reducing production and efficiency, and has improved the economic efficiency of enterprises.

The excellent performance of "Hengyi industrial brain and flying rabbit action" has realized the rapid development of the digital pformation Road, and provided the whole industry with the practice direction of intelligent manufacturing and industrial big data.

In the future, Hengyi will also expand in the intelligent production optimization, digital pformation, intelligent logistics, enterprise data construction, petrochemical industry as the core, to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and expand the production, supply, marketing, research and other aspects of the entire petrochemical industry chain.

Duan Xiaoping, vice president of the Federation and chairman of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, introduced chemical fiber enterprises represented by Hengyi Hengli, Sheng Hong, Rong Sheng, Tong Kun, Xin Feng Ming and other large groups. Through the "machine substitution", from mechanization to automation, some links in production were changed from manpower to mechanical or automatic lines, which saved a lot of manpower, reduced costs, enhanced the competitiveness of enterprises and promoted the return of manufacturing industry. The application of information technology and big data on production lines made data available resources, thereby providing services for the collaborative development of the whole value chain of manufacturing enterprises. The improvement of product quality brought by standardization of intelligent manufacturing provided important support for the development of high quality industries. China Textile Industry

End Xiaoping analysis, in the future, intelligent manufacturing will bring new changes to the industry and further consolidate the international competitiveness of the traditional manufacturing industry.

Green development: remarkable results

To protect the ecological environment is to protect the productive forces, and to improve the ecological environment is to develop the productive forces.

Green development has become the consensus of chemical fiber industry, and form is changing from responsibility to value.

In the past 2018, the chemical fiber industry launched a series of actions around green manufacturing and made remarkable achievements.

In 2018, the chemical fiber industry actively guided the industry to take the green development path, and continued to carry out the certification of "green fiber label". Up to now, 21 leading manufacturers of bio based chemical fibers, recycled recycled chemical fibers and coloring chemical fibers of raw liquid have obtained the certification of "green fiber label".

These enterprises all attach great importance to the related work of green fiber, take it as one of the important directions of industrial pformation and upgrading, and have strong strength in team building, production and technology, and strive to realize the green and sustainable development of the whole life cycle of fiber, laying a solid foundation for the green development of the industry.

With the release of the "green fiber evaluation technical requirements" group standard, the evaluation of green fiber has been marked.

In addition to the correct guidance of industry associations, enterprises also actively participate in green development and join forces to build an exchange platform based on their own development requirements.

Tangshan Sanyou, Sai Li Li and China Chemical Fiber Industry Association jointly launched the "green development alliance of regenerated cellulose fiber industry" and issued a three year action plan.

In the future, I believe that the green development public communication platform, which is supervised and promoted by each other, will minimize the impact of regenerated cellulose fiber production and the whole life cycle on the environment.

At present, the developed countries, represented by the European Union, are increasingly taking the green textile standard as a condition for entering the market.

Polyester fiber, a fiber leader, has been criticized for its use of antimony containing catalysts.

In 2018, the problem was solved in real terms. Zhejiang Hengyi Formosa Petrochemical Co launched a new titanium ecosystem catalyst, which has injected new vitality into the green development of polyester industry.

In 2018, the chemical fiber industry also actively promoted the related technologies of energy saving and emission reduction, reduced and eliminated the production and emissions of wastes and pollutants from the source, advocated that the viscose industry should walk on "two legs", adopt the best energy saving and emission reduction technology and "three wastes" treatment technology, and adopt the new environmental protection production process.

End Xiaoping analysis, active adaptation to strict environmental protection requirements, application of energy saving and emission reduction technology brings new opportunities to industry enterprises, and also brings opportunities to new entrants, thereby changing the original competition pattern. Well done enterprises will win from competition, not only to promote technological progress, but also to gain a better market share, and at the same time, to shoulder more social responsibilities for the "green water and green hills" construction of the whole society.

Raw materials: acceleration of refining and chemical integration

In recent years, China has opened restrictions on PX production of domestic enterprises, and encouraged private power to enter the field of refining and chemical industry.

At present, Hengli shares, Hengyi petrochemical, Rongsheng petrochemical, Tong Kun shares, Sheng Hong group and so on are all extending upstream through the "refining and chemical integration", thus realizing the development strategy of the whole industry chain in the middle and lower reaches.

In 2018, the petrochemical projects of Hengyi and Rongsheng were highly concerned by the central leaders.

Hengyi Group actively responded to the "one belt and one way" initiative, and co operated with Brunei government to build the PMB petrochemical project.

As a result, Hengyi's most upstream refinery and refining industry has completed a key step. The project's production means Hengyi has achieved the "last mile" of the entire Petrochemical Fiber industry chain, which contains industrial energy comparable to the reconstruction of a new Heng Yi, and will lay the foundation stone for the world's petrochemical industry.

The Zhoushan green petrochemical base project, which is mainly invested by Rongsheng group, is currently the largest oil refining monomer industry in the world.

After the completion of the project, the price of domestic related petrochemical industry will be substantially reduced, providing broader space for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the middle and lower reaches. On the other hand, the petrochemical industry is the source of the textile industry and an important support for China made by the garment industry. The Zhoushan green color petrochemical base adjacent to Zhoushan port can effectively radiate the Yangtze River Delta and the hinterland of the Yangtze River and play a greater role in promoting it.

On the morning of December 26, 2018, Hengli Petrochemical Company completed the 20 million ton / year refining and chemical integration project in Hengli refining and Chemical Construction Co., Ltd., officially launched in Changxing Island, Dalian, where the construction industry is located. This is the first major refining and chemical project opened by the national oil refining industry to private enterprises. Hengli has also become the first wholly owned private large-scale refinery in the country.

With the launch of the project, Hengli's existing industrial chain will further extend to the upstream aromatics and refining links, and take the lead in opening up the "crude arene - terephthalic acid (PTA) - polyester (PET)" business channel in the industry, so as to promote the breakthroughs in the scale of operation and the quality of operation of the listed companies, and to a certain extent, will also break the unfavorable situation of high dependence on the import of aromatics in China.

Through the refining and chemical integration project, the enterprises will march to the upstream of the industrial chain, and build the layout of the whole industry chain from crude oil to textile, so as to ensure the stable supply of raw materials, improve the matching of industrial chain and enhance the ability to resist risks.

These large-scale private enterprises led the production of refining and chemical capacity, not only for the advantages of enterprises themselves, but also for the entire chemical fiber textile industry to build a new competitive advantage, in the original complete textile industry chain supporting advantages, diversified climate conditions advantages, intelligent manufacturing to bring the advantage of a large decline in the industry, will provide more, better, cheaper chemical fiber raw materials, these competitive advantages will make the chemical fiber industry continue to develop steadily.

The future: two continuation, two concerns and one stare.

In the middle of 2018, under the influence of various factors such as crude oil price fluctuation, exchange rate change, futures speculation and changes in supply and demand, the polyester market experienced a sharp rise and fall.

By the end of the year, polyester chain products had fallen behind the previous rise.

Xiaoping explained that in the past two years, due to the good results, the investment in fixed assets of the chemical fiber industry appeared irrational, leading to the release of new capacity and caused some pressure on the market.

However, due to the control of supply capability by equipment manufacturers, these capacities are steadily released, and the impact on the market is basically within the digestible range.

Although there are still a certain number of capacity plans to put into operation in 2019, some devices may be delayed due to the downturn in the industry.

Xiaoping reminded enterprises, although the market has basically bottomed out, the market is expected to improve or rebound in the future, but also rational investment to control new capacity, good products sold to "cabbage price" is not necessarily a good thing, we must consider the market capacity and bargaining power to consider, do not participate in futures speculation speculation, industry enterprises should be more self-discipline, integrity, to avoid the supply side structural reform results.

In 2018, the chemical fiber enterprises were divided and the resources were further concentrated on the dominant enterprises. Xiaoping believes that this trend will continue in 2019.

He analyzed that large enterprises are stable in operation and stable in product quality, and customers will further concentrate on large enterprises.

Differentiation and market segmentation are further revealed.

Long Jie successfully IPO, Sheng Hong Group differentiated better done and backdoor listing, which is the best return on innovation.

Industrial chain collaboration is becoming more and more closely related to downstream brands.

In the past, brands chose fabrics, and now began to select fibers, starting from fiber to control product quality and enhance brand value.

The strategic cooperation between brands and fiber producers has become a new trend.

Two concerns and a close look: to continue to promote structural reform of supply side, in addition to innovation, mainly to prevent overcapacity, prevent the revival of new capacity, continue to promote green development, timely release ten major energy saving and emission reduction technologies, do a good job in green fiber, regenerated cellulose fiber industry green Development Alliance and recycling work; pay attention to artificial intelligence and big data; pay attention to new products, domestic production line of 30 thousand tons of leoser fiber production line, biological based polylactic acid fiber (PLA) may break through a wide range of breakthrough, such as carbon fiber and other high-tech fiber technology breakthroughs and applications, these are the development direction of the chemical fiber industry; focus on national policies, strive for policies and resources to the state, and put the good projects in the country into the "basket" of the country. For the next step in the industry, Xiaoping put forward the two continuation.
