BEIJING : China's private refiner Shenghong Petrochemical, a subsidiary of textile giant Shenghong Group, has started trial operation at its greenfield refining complex in east China, industry sources said on Tuesday.
Shenghong, based in Lianyungang port of Jiangsu province, will be one of the two major greenfield refineries expected to start up this year. A flare-up of COVID-19 outbreaks in China since early March has triggered a series of stringent anti-contagion measures, including putting the financial hub of Shanghai under lockdowns and blocking highways in the nearby Jiangsu province where Shenghong locates.
