Celebrating a Key Milestone: Sinopec’s NZRCC Team Visits ECI Group in Manchester
Last week, ECI Group had the pleasure of welcoming the project team from Sinopec’s Ningbo Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company Limited (NZRCC) and their engineering contractor to our Manchester office. The visit marked a significant milestone in our collaboration—the successful review of the preliminary Process Design Package (PDP) for NZRCC’s new 200kta EVA/LDPE plant.
This project, awarded to ECI Group in April 2025, utilizes ECI Group’s proprietary hybrid reactor technology. The plant will be located in Ningbo’s Zhenhai District in Zhejiang Province and will be a key component of NZRCC’s large-scale ethylene and downstream development. Once operational, the plant will produce 200,000 tons per year of LDPE, EVA, and other high-value copolymer products, with built-in flexibility for future product expansion.
ECI Group’s scope covers the technology license, process design package, expanded process design package, and detailed design for the high-pressure system for NZRCC, as well as technical procurement services for the project and on-site technical support during installation, start-up, and performance assessment.
The delivery of the PDP represents a major step forward in the project timeline. With this milestone achieved, we now move into the next phase: engineering the Expanded Process Design Package (EPDP) and initiating technical procurement for long -lead equipment items.
