SINOPEC Fushun Research Institute of Petroleum and Petrochemicals
Fushun Research Institute of Petroleum and Petrochemicals (FRIPP), directly under the leadership of SINOPEC, was founded in 1953 and is the first domestic research institute engaged in the development of oil-related technologies. After 58 years of strenuous and pioneering efforts, FRIPP has grown into a comprehensive science & technology development base with hydro-catalysis, bioengineering, environmental protection, material product development as the core research & development fields. The Monitoring Laboratory of National Petroleum Products, The National Waxes Testing Center, the General Station of Environmental Monitoring of SINOPEC, the Information Center of Hydrotreating Catalysts and Technologies as well as the Information Center of Petroleum Waxes are located in FRIPP. It possesses more than 570 large-scale analysis equipments and more than 300 bench-scale and pilot plant units for R&D of refining and petrochemicals technologies, of which more than 60 are world advanced hydrogenation plants. Till the end of 2010, FRIPP has been awarded more than 300 science and technical achievements, among which, over 20 national grade awards. FRIPP has also applied 2234 patents both domestic and overseas, among which, 1148 have been granted.

The main R & D activities of FRIPP are based in the following areas:
* Hydrocracking processes and catalysts
* Distillates hydrofining processes and catalysts
* Residue hydrotreating processes and catalysts
* Paraffin waxes and special solvent oil hydrofining processes and catalysts
* Bioengineering technologies
* Technologies for treatment of waste gas, wastewater and waste residue in oil fields and petrochemical plants
* Petroleum asphalt and specialty waxes products
* Fundamental research in hydroprocessing catalysis
* Catalyst characterization
* Hydro-catalysis dynamics and process simulation software
* Crude oil evaluation and oil product analysis
* Standardization of petroleum wax
* Computer application
* Research facilities and equipments

In addition, FRIPP is awarded second class design license in petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical field by the State Ministry of Construction and second class environmental project design license by the State Environmental Protection Administration, which can carry out whole set package organization in new technologies of some aspects such as petrochemical, chemical engineering, bioengineering, paraffin production and environmental protection, etc. as well as design and study on parameters of main structures of key equipments.

Nowadays, FRIPP’s hydro-catalysis technologies have stepped up the best and worldwide advanced. Such technology is one of the most important and effective way to produce clean fuel. FRIPP has developed several hydrocracking processes such as high pressure hydrocracking, medium pressure hydrocracking, mild hydrocracking, medium pressure hydroupgrading and related 10 categories, over 30 hydrocracking catalysts. In hydrofining fields, FRIPP has developed high LHSV pre-hydrofining for reformer feed, low pressure jet fuel hydrofining, hydrotreating for heavy gas oil , hydroupgrading for poor quality diesel (MCI), FHI- diesel hydroupgrading- isodewaxing process, hydrofining for ultra-low sulfur diesel production, paraffin wax and solvent oil hydrofining, FCC gasoline selective HDS, liquid-phase recycle H2 technology processes and related catalysts, which can meet the needs of hydrotreating with feedstock for producing clean fuels and high quality petroleum wax as well as special oils. In residue hydrotreating fields, FRIPP has developed 5 categories, around 50 brands of catalysts, most of which have been commercialized. FRIPP also has developed high-grade road asphalt, emulsified asphalt and high quality construction asphalt production technologies and over 100 kinds of specialty waxes used in military, electronics, rubber, agriculture, machinery, automobile, daily chemistry etc, part of them have been applied worldwide. In petrochemical and biochemical engineering, FRIPP has successfully developed the methyl isobutyl ketone synthesizing process via butene hydration and dehydrogenation, diphenylamine synthesizing process from aniline, biofermentation technology for producing long chain dicarboxylic acid and Musk-T, and hot-melt adhesives synthesizing process. Some technologies such as biological diesel production, L-lactic acid production, 1,3-propylene glycol production via fermentation have been acquired certain results. In the field of environmental protection, FRIPP has developed series of technologies for treating waste gas, wastewater and waste residue in oil fields and petrochemical plants, and possessed the Class A Certificate for EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment). Besides, the research facilities developed by FRIPP such as true boiling point distillatory, cetane number analyzer as well as the hydrogenation pilot plant units have also been widely used in refineries. By the end of 2009, FRIPP has obtained over 300 scientific and technological achievements, 20 of which were awarded the state prizes for Scientific and Technological Progress and Technology Invention. FRIPP has applied 1700 patents including domestic area and abroad, 888 of them were granted patent rights.

FRIPP is always active in providing related technical services to customers, such as technical consultation, licensing and package technology development. The achievements of FRIPP have applied in enterprises in 27 provinces or cities in China, which bring large economical benefits. And various catalysts have already commercial applied oversea

With the coming of “Twelfth Five-year Plan”, FRIPP will continuously focus on the requirements of SINOPEC’s core business development, act on the policy of " compact, efficient, expand, innovation" and work on the orientation of "leading hydro-process, comprehensive environmental protection, new material product and special chemical", expedite construction of FRIPP as a new type of creative R & D research Institute and make a greater contribution on building SINOPEC being a transnational energy and chemical corporation with strong international competitiveness.
