At 15: 20 on April 2, the tanker "Changli 16" loaded with 9900 tons of high-quality aviation kerosene (aviation kerosene for short) left the product terminal of Guangdong Petrochemical Company and headed for Yangpu Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Hainan. This is the aviation kerosene delivered by the first ship of Guangdong Petrochemical Company, and it is also the first batch of refined oil products exported by this company, which indicates that Guangdong Petrochemical Company has officially opened up the export process of refined oil products.

Guangdong Petrochemical Company has three sets of plants that can produce aviation kerosene, including 1.2 million tons/year aviation coal hydrogenation unit, 3.7 million tons/year hydrocracking unit and 3.3 million tons/year diesel oil hydrogenation unit II. Among them, the 1.2 million tons/year jet fuel hydrogenation unit is the main force to produce jet fuel, with an operating pressure of 7.7 MPa, which is the highest operating pressure in China.

Catalyst directly affects the performance of aviation fuel products. After several rounds of in-depth and comprehensive technical exchanges, Guangdong Petrochemical Company, Petrochemical Research Institute and Fushun Petrochemical Company's catalytic plant jointly developed inferior kerosene hydrogenation catalyst PHK-102 with deep desulfurization and aromatic saturation performance, which met the required standards and stability of products and realized the complete replacement of domestic catalysts.

International business companies have made positive contributions to Guangdong Petrochemical's formal opening of refined oil export process and opening up new paths to improve quality and efficiency. This company set up a coordination group for Guangdong Petrochemical's refined oil export, arranged employees to stay at the factory to serve, gave full play to their professional advantages, formulated export plans according to the actual situation of Guangdong Petrochemical, actively coordinated local customs, and optimized customs clearance procedures, thus overcoming many difficulties such as tight ship capacity and terminal berth restrictions.
