Petroleum benzene

FREP’s petroleum benzene is of premium quality, especially its thiophene content is lower than 0.1 mg/kg (which can prolong the service life of noble metal catalyst and significantly reduce the cost), thusly providing stable feedstock for downstream caprolactam customers to produce high-end nylon products.

Product quality advantages

FREP's crude oil processing capacity is 12 MTA, ethylene production capacity 0.99 MTA, and asphalt production capacity is more than 1 MTA. We mainly use more than 83% high-quality Arab crude oil as the raw material (Arab crude oil is recognized as a crude oil variety suitable for refining high-quality asphalt products due to its unique properties of heavy components), adopt atmospheric and vacuum distillation, solvent deasphalting and other refining processing technologies for asphalt production through stable crude oil blending system, and control the asphalt product quality with internal control indicators that are more stringent than JTG F40-2004 standard. We mainly produce 70 #A heavy-traffic asphalt, which is an ideal material for paving medium and heavy-traffic asphalt roads. Thanks to its properties of good rheology, lasting adhesion, rutting resistance and squeezing & deformation resistance, it is suitable for paving highways, high-grade roads and municipal roads, and is also a raw material for high-quality modified asphalt and emulsified asphalt.

Situated in Quangang District, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and on the west coast of the Taiwan Straits and the south bank of Meizhou Bay in Southeast Coast of China with advanced economy, Fujian Refining & Petrochemical Co., Ltd. enjoys convenient transportation.  

FREP owns perfect highway and marine asphalt loading and unloading facilities, among which, the highway delivery capacity can reach 2,000 tons/day, and the marine delivery capacity can reach 3,000 tons/day.

Application in road engineering

Since FREP’s asphalt was put on the market in 2011, it has been widely used in paving expressways, high-grade roads and municipal roads in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and other provinces. The follows are some representative projects. 


Premium service

Asphalt is an important and special petrochemical product of FREP. In order to produce high-grade paving petroleum asphalt that meets the most stringent national standard JTG F40, FREP has established a special asphalt product working group to actively visit customers and road owners, looking for the customers concerns about the quality of asphalt products, and cooperated with well-known domestic road traffic scientific research institute and petrochemical research institutions. In 2011, FREP managed to develop the 70# road asphalt in compliance with the strict requirements of customers, which was soon used in pavement construction of "Fuzhou-Yongtai Expressway" project, and achieved good application results.

In 2015, in order to further enhance the rutting resistance, water resistance, cracking resistance and aging resistance of asphalt pavement, FREP initiated the "FREP" asphalt quality and brand improvement project. As a result of scientific market survey and experimental research, the plant and equipment were revamped, and high-quality colloid components were extracted and blended into road asphalt to comprehensively improve and enhance the overall performance of FREP’s road asphalt. It was put into trial use in the revamp project of Provincial Highway 308 from Nan'an to Luncang, Fujian Province. With the joint participation of Nan'an Road Transport Bureau, construction contractor, supervision company, Fujian Institute of Transportation Science and Technology and other organizations, comprehensive construction control and quality supervision were carried out for the experimental project. After the road was put into operation for one year, it passed strict acceptance and reached the provincial excellent project standard.

Extend services to enable customers to make good use of FREP’s products. In order to develop an excellent brand of FREP’s road asphalt and improve our services, FREP cooperated with well-known domestic road traffic scientific research institutes to collect building stones manufactured by various sites in Fujian Province, designed appropriate asphalt mixing and construction schemes according to their physical and chemical properties, and prepared the Guidelines for the Use of Road Asphalt to provide it to the end users for reference. In view of the weak technical strength of some mixing stations and construction contractors, FREP dispatched technicians to provide on-site support, thusly extending technical services to the road construction site.

Pursue excellence and develop customer satisfied products. Since 2016, FREP has entrusted third-party survey agencies to perform the satisfaction survey of asphalt users, and conducted surveys from the aspects of corporate image, customer expectation, quality perception, value perception and complaint degree. Feedback from a Xiamen-based road asphalt user with significant influence in China revealed that the quality of FREP heavy-traffic asphalt is very stable, and the fluctuation range of quality index is small, so it is very suitable for modification processing, and also beneficial for project customers to control the quality index of mixture. Some asphalt concrete construction contractors generally fed back that FREP’s road asphalt has the features of "less smoke emission, construction friendly and superior quality to other domestic brands", and many customers and road owners have taken "FREP" brand as the designated requirement for asphalt supply. After many years of tracking of sampling inspection, some key downstream customers of FREP hold the viewpoint that: FREP’s asphalt has large ductility, low wax content, high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, good aging resistance and temperature sensitivity, and that it shows good compatibility with SBS when used for modification, it is not prone to have segregation. After modification, the high and low temperature performance is relatively balanced. When it is used in various road engineering projects, FREP’s asphalt shows stable quality, timely supply and excellent service. FREP’s asphalt products are highly praised and trusted by various owners, construction supervisors and users of construction contractors, and the overall satisfaction has reached 9.45 points.

Today, the high-quality road asphalt produced by FREP is flowing to every corner of China like rolling black gold, from Pingtan Island on the coast of the East China Sea to Tibet Plateau with complex geology in the west of China, from Hainan Island with high temperature and high humidity in the south of China to Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, featuring with cold and dry climate in the north of China, and is being paved on provincial highways, national highways, expressways, municipal roads, bridges and tunnels all over China, and applied to some airport and water conservancy engineering fields. FREP will adhere to the operation philosophy of customer first and win-win cooperation and serve you wholeheartedly. Looking forward to working with you for a better future.
