Previous Projects:

 
MIO (maximizing isoolefin yield petroleum conversion process) and its industrial applications (1996-1999)

It was a process developed for Dalian Petrochemical Corp of CNPC.
 
     
ARGG process (a novel petroleum fluid catalytic cracking process to maximize LPG and high RON gasoline) and its commercial application (1996-1999)

It was applied to 8 large companies.
 
     
DCC-II (a novel catalytic conversion process for light olefin production) and its commercial applications (1997- 2000)

The process was a novel method to produce light olefin from residue and was put into practical use in the Jingmen Refinery of SINOPEC and extended to over 10 companies.
 
     
The development of FCC technologies to increase the RON of the gasoline from the Daqing-based crude oil and its commercial application (1997 - 2000)

An industrial experiment was proved effective on the 0.8 Mt/a RFCC unit in Qianguo refinery of CNPC in 1997. The technologies were put into operation by more than 10 large FCC units.
 
     
The development and commercial application of increasing diesel production technologies in FCC process (1997-2000)

A whole-set integrated technology based on FCC was established on the 0.5Mt/a RFCC unit in Cangzhou refinery of SINOPEC in 1997. The technologies were put into operation by over 50 large FCC units worldwide and created billions yuan gain.
 
     
The development and commercial application of Orbit series heavy hydrocarbon cracking catalysts (1997-2002)

These catalysts were widely applied to over 50 large FCC units.
 
     
The development and commercial applications of Catalytic Pyrolytic Process (CPP) (1997-2003)

The process was successfully put into operation in Daqing Refining Corporation of China National Petroleum Cop. (CNPC) in Oct, 2000. The process was applied to 4 large companies.
 
     
MGD (A novel catalytic cracking process for maximizing gas and diesel yields) and its application (1999 - 2002)

This process achieved practical success in Guangzhou Petrochemical Corporation and Fujian Petrochemical Refinery of SINOPEC. It was applied to over 30 large companies.
