Sinochem's Quanzhou Petrochemical refinery, located in Fujian province, southeastern China, is on the brink of completing a comprehensive maintenance overhaul following a fire that disrupted operations late last year. The maintenance, which began on November 25, 2025, was prompted by a fire at the facility's No. 1 crude distillation unit, a critical component of the refining process. The announcement of the near-completion was made on January 13, 2026, via the company's official WeChat platform.
