Maoming constructs nation's third 20 million-ton refinery

The Maoming Petrochemical 20 million-ton refinery expansion project recently was approved by the State Development and Reform Commission, according to the Guangdong Maoming Petroleum & Chemical Corporation.

This is the third approved 20 million-ton oil refining project in China following Dalian Petrochemical, Zhenhai Refinery, and it is among the Top 10 key projects in Guangdong Province. After the completion of the project, Maoming Petrochemical's refining capacity will rise from 13.5 million tons to 25.5 million tons; and can mass produce clean oil products which are currently in shortage. This is essential for alleviating the tense oil supply situation and stimulating regional economic development in Southwest China and Guangdong province.
