Quangang Petrochemical Base is one of many vibrant petrochemical bases in China. At the middle of Fujian coastal line, facing Meizhou Bay on the east, Quangang is 100 km away from Fuzhou and Xiamen respectively. Thanks to the integrated Fujian refinery project (12 million tons/a refinery and 800,000 tons/a ethylene cracker) between Sinopec, ExxonMobil and Saudi Aramco, the once unknown coastal region of Fujian Province becomes a hot zone for petrochemical investments.
