Twelve Five Instrument Industry Development Prospects in Petrochemical Industry

Introduction: Instruments and meters have a wide range of applications, covering industries, agriculture, transportation, science and technology, environmental protection, national defense, culture, education, health, people's life, etc., and are responsible for the gatekeepers and mentors in the operation of all walks of life in national economic construction. task. The petrochemical industry is the basic industry for the development of the national economy.

The automation of the petrochemical industry mainly includes the automation of oil refining and chemical industry, and the automation of oil fields. For refinery automation, DCS systems are mainly used in large-scale refinery plants, ethylene production plants, and chemical fiber production plants. Advanced control software is used for control; for small and medium-sized production facilities, electric meters or DCS (small and medium size), smart electric Transmitters and digital regulators control; oilfield automation mainly uses SCADA system and DCS system. Instrumentation plays an important role in the production of petrochemicals.

On the date, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the “Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for Petrochemical and Chemical Industry”, which elaborated on the status quo, development environment, development goals, key tasks, and policy measures of the petrochemical industry, and also produced a certain amount of information for the instrumentation industry. Guiding role.

The 12th Five-Year Plan of Petrochemical pointed out that during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the total economic output of the industry continued to grow steadily and the total output value grew by an average of 13% annually. By 2015, the total output value of the petrochemical and chemical industries will increase to around 14 trillion yuan. According to preliminary statistics, as of the end of 2010, China's petrochemical and chemical industries had about 35,000 enterprises above designated size, and assets totaled approximately 5.25 trillion yuan. In 2010, the industry achieved a total industrial output value of 7.64 trillion yuan (the current price), and the average annual growth in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period was 22.3%. It can be seen that the petrochemical industry will slow down the pace of development during the 12th Five-Year Plan and shift to the development quality. Although the instrument automation in the petrochemical industry is under certain pressure, with the advancement of the petrochemical industry to high-end petrochemical products and the elimination of outdated production capacity, the energy conservation and emission reduction and comprehensive utilization of resources proposed by the petrochemical industry are supplemented by instrument automation and instrumentation. There is still a certain market potential in this industry.
