　　Recently, the ethylene unit of Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical Company's 1 million tons/year ethylene project was successfully put into operation, and the whole process was opened to produce qualified products. This project is the first ethylene project in Hainan Province, including a 1 million tons/year ethylene cracking unit and a total of 10 downstream chemical units, with a total investment of more than 28.6 billion yuan. With the commissioning of this ethylene project, Hainan Refining and Chemical can provide more than 2 million tons of new chemical materials products to the downstream every year, becoming a new engine for the construction and development of Hainan Free Trade Port.

　　Multi-system integration

　　Promote the integration of excellent production management

　　Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical's 1 million tons/year ethylene project has a total of 10 chemical units, and "how to achieve safe, stable and efficient production" has become a challenge.

　　Zhongkong Technology combines the specific business management and control needs of Hainan Refining and Chemical to tackle key problems in multiple subsystems in key areas such as production management, instrumentation and equipment management, safety management, and alarm management.

　　Central Control Technology provides distributed control systems (DCS), operating data systems (ODS), instrument equipment management (IDM), explosion-proof remote universal IO (R-I/O), operator training simulation (OTS), alarm management (AAS), control performance monitoring (CPMS), remote monitoring software (WebSight) and other products for the project.

　　The operating data management system (ODS) collects, processes, counts and stores the status data of the on-site production equipment. It uses visual display of different data dimensions to conduct effective data comparison analysis and assessment. It establishes online statistical monitoring of indicators such as the automatic control rate and control stability rate of the whole plant to meet the needs of real-time analysis and assessment, ensure that the automatic control improvement reaches the expected goal, and realizes full process automation.

　　The instrument equipment management system (IDM) is based on the full life cycle management of instruments, rich fault diagnosis and online debugging functions, and fundamentally solves the problems of "difficult monitoring" and "difficult maintenance" of instruments in the production process of enterprises. It provides a variety of visual models such as factory models, manufacturer classifications, and network connections to achieve unified monitoring and management of equipment throughout the plant.

　　Universal I/O technology simplifies I/O configuration by software-defined channel hardware attributes; flexible deployment solutions optimize wiring design, greatly improve the flexibility of project design and the convenience of implementation, and support remote deployment in explosion-proof zone 2 to meet the safety requirements of special environments. This technology can also achieve standardized engineering delivery, reduce project construction cost investment and shorten project construction cycle.

　　Operator training simulation (OTS) is based on the central control technology mechanism modeling simulation platform and virtual controller technology, integrating three-dimensional digital technology to help operators adapt to the operating style of the DCS system in advance and improve their understanding of the process flow, which can effectively reduce the operational risks caused by insufficient personnel experience.

　　The application scope of remote monitoring software (WebSight) covers L2-L4 levels, breaking through the geographical limitations of "physical space", meeting the needs of decision makers from various departments of the enterprise to remotely access the field control system in the office or remotely, promoting the online, flow and sharing of industrial data, and realizing business collaboration and cross-border integration, thereby improving operational efficiency and production capacity. Through remote access, technical personnel at the corporate headquarters can collect on-site DCS data more effectively and specifically in a remote location, reduce the time required for troubleshooting, and provide more professional guidance to on-site operators.

　　Digital twins span space

　　The future smart factory must be a combination of "virtual and real". With the help of digital twins, physical entities can be simulated, analyzed and optimized to assist decision-making in the real world.

　　Hainan Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. has built physical and digital factories simultaneously, applied digital twin factories that combine virtual and real, combined virtual three-dimensional factories, two-dimensional DCS operation screens and physical factories, achieved a close combination of internal and external operations, and quickly and conveniently obtained digital factory design information.

　　Through digital technology, the risk of workers being exposed to dangerous places can be avoided, and the safety and intelligence level of factory operations and inspections can be improved. Hainan Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. links AAS alarm information with three-dimensional models, which can effectively expand the two-dimensional geographic information model to three dimensions and accurately feedback the specific location of the alarm.

　　When on-site personnel enter the major hazardous source operation, the operator in the central control room can clearly understand the specific location of the operator on the digital platform through the digital twin virtual personnel.

　　On the existing digital twin core platform, based on the powerful product spectrum of Zhongkong Technology, the smart factory in the mirror world has become well organized. For example, when a large number of alarms are generated in the factory, the rationality analysis of the alarms can be realized through the combination with the digital twin application, and the operation decisions can be adjusted in time to maintain stable production operation.

　　During the construction of this project, the instrument diagrams, process packages, parameter data, etc., these static data, are the most commonly used data in maintenance, inspection and technical transformation projects during the production process. Clarifying these paper documents and their inherent data logic relationships and serving production operations are issues that corporate decision makers attach great importance to.

　　Zhongkong Technology has built a digital operation platform for Hainan Refining and Chemical, effectively applied digital delivery assets for engineering construction, and realized the linkage between static data delivered by digital delivery and dynamic data of the control system.

　　At present, in the critical period of my country's transformation from a chemical power to a chemical power, with the commissioning of Sinopec Hainan Refining and Chemical's 1 million tons/year ethylene project, Hainan Refining and Chemical has fully played the role of "chain leader", deepened cooperation with existing enterprises on the island, and promoted the high-quality development of Hainan Petrochemical's entire industrial chain. In the future, Supcon Technology will help more petrochemical companies to explore innovation-driven digital transformation.
