Recently, one-off successful startup of the revamped reaction system in EO unit of Sinopec Yangzi Company was realized and qualified product was produced successfully.

During the engineering construction, all employees involved in the project overcame all adverse factors, optimized scheme, arranged plan in a more detailed manner and strengthened process control. Especially, after Oct. 2012, they launched a labor competition, set up control points, and alternate construction activities by all disciplines, transverse and vertical construction activities, above and underground construction activities were properly arranged and performed under good safety and protection conditions, which put forward the construction progress.
