道達(dá)爾將把法國(guó)Grandpuits煉油廠改造成生物塑料廠

據(jù)石化新聞2020年9月22日巴黎報(bào)道，來(lái)自法國(guó)總工會(huì)（CGT）的一名消息人士稱，由于把原油輸送到位于法國(guó)中北部的Grandpuits煉油廠的法蘭西島管道(PLIF)的維修費(fèi)用可能很高，道達(dá)爾公司將把這個(gè)煉油廠改造成一家生產(chǎn)生物塑料的工廠。

法國(guó)CGT的一名消息人士9月22日對(duì)采訪他的標(biāo)普全球普氏能源咨詢記者說(shuō)；法國(guó)社會(huì)與經(jīng)濟(jì)中央委員會(huì)（CSEC）9月24日將召開(kāi)一次會(huì)議，而道達(dá)爾公司22日早上告訴CSEC要求在當(dāng)天會(huì)議議事日程上增加兩點(diǎn)，其中確認(rèn)把Grandpuits煉油廠改造成一個(gè)農(nóng)業(yè)-塑料生產(chǎn)廠。

這名CGT消息人士稱，Grandpuits煉油廠預(yù)計(jì)將在2021年3月關(guān)閉。

根據(jù)CGT消息人士的話，所謂的“Galaxie項(xiàng)目”將導(dǎo)致Grandpuits煉油廠的煉油活動(dòng)結(jié)束，并可能導(dǎo)致失業(yè)。這名消息人士說(shuō)：“在塞納-馬恩省有很多甜菜生產(chǎn)，因此改造后的Grandpuits煉油廠可以從農(nóng)產(chǎn)品和回收塑料中獲得原料。”“生物燃料生產(chǎn)是一臺(tái)提款機(jī)。位于馬賽附近的拉梅德煉油廠生產(chǎn)的一噸生物燃料的價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了安特衛(wèi)普煉油廠生產(chǎn)的一噸傳統(tǒng)石油產(chǎn)品的價(jià)值?！?/span>

道達(dá)爾公司曾在7月6日表示，該公司正在對(duì)PLIF管道進(jìn)行審計(jì)，“Grandpuits煉油廠的長(zhǎng)期未來(lái)取決于這條管道的可行性”，道達(dá)爾公司補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，它“不準(zhǔn)備與存在缺陷的部門(mén)合作”。

道達(dá)爾公司9月22日表示，Grandpuits煉油廠改造項(xiàng)目不會(huì)導(dǎo)致失業(yè)。“當(dāng)煉油工業(yè)發(fā)生變化時(shí)，沒(méi)有人會(huì)失去工作。在Carling煉油廠和拉梅德煉油廠均沒(méi)有裁員，只有退休和內(nèi)部轉(zhuǎn)移到其他地方?！?。

2016年底，拉梅德煉油廠停止原油加工，并于2019年開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)生物柴油。

Grandpuits煉油廠在今年3月至6月期間停產(chǎn)，部分原因是新冠肺炎疫情大流行期間需求低迷，但去年在從勒阿弗爾港輸送原油的管道泄漏后，這個(gè)煉油廠在去年2月底至7月期間停產(chǎn)了5個(gè)月。

Total to convert France's Grandpuits into bio plant

Total's Grandpuits refinery in north-central France will be converted into a plant for the production of bio plastics due to potentially costly repairs on the Ile-de-France pipeline (PLIF) bringing crude to the plant, according to a CGT union source.

"A meeting of the CSEC [Comite Social et Economique Central or Social and Economics Central Committee] -- was called for Sept. 24 and we were told by Total management this morning that two points were added to the order of the day, which confirmed the conversion of Grandpuits refinery into an agro-plastics producing plant," a CGT union source told S&P Global Platts Sept. 22.

The refinery is expected to close in March 2021, the union source said.

According to the union source, the so-called "Projet Galaxie" will lead to the end of refining activity at Grandpuits and the likely loss of jobs. "In Seine-et-Marne there is a lot of beetroot production and thus the converted Grandpuits plant could get feedstocks from agricultural products and recycled plastics," the source said. "Biofuel production is a cash machine... a ton of biofuel produced at La Mede refinery has much more value than one ton of traditional oil product from the Antwerp refinery," the source added.

Total said July 6 that the company was carrying out an audit of the pipeline and the "longer term future of Grandpuits" depends upon "the viability of the pipeline," adding that it is "not prepared to work with units which have deficiencies."

The company said Sept. 22 that the Grandpuits project will not lead to job losses. "No one loses their job at Total when there are industrial changes. At Carling or at La Mede, there were no layoffs but retirements and internal moves to other sites," Total said.

La Mede stopped processing crude at the end of 2016 and started up as a biodiesel plant in 2019.

Grandpuits was offline between March and June this year, partly due to low demand during the coronavirus pandemic, but last year remained offline between late February and July after the pipeline which brings crude from Le Havre port leaked.
