Scope
GB 30251-2024 is the English-translated version of 炼化行业单位产品能源消耗限额.
GB 30251-2024 sets the norms of energy consumption per unit product for the refining and chemical industry, specifying technical requirements, statistical scope and calculation methods for oil refining, ethylene, polypropylene, styrene, purified terephthalic acid, p-xylene, propylene oxide and phthalic anhydride; it applies to the calculation and assessment of energy consumption in these production processes and to energy control of new, rebuilt or expanded projects.
It defines comprehensive energy consumption, the refinery energy factor and per-unit indicators for each product, and sets three limit grades, grade 1 being the most efficient: for example refining <= 6.85, 7.50 and 8.50 kgoe/(t·energy factor), ethylene plants <= 580, 590 and 640 kgoe/t, and polypropylene and styrene limits differentiated by process route.
Annexes give reference coefficients for converting energy and energy-consuming working media to standard oil, energy coefficients of refinery process units, energy factors of storage and transport, wastewater treatment and other auxiliary systems, and a method for converting polypropylene output to the standard product.
It consolidates and replaces GB 30251-2013, GB 30250-2013, GB 31533-2015, GB 31534-2015, GB 31826-2015 and GB 32053-2015, changing the scope and limit values, adding limit grades and propylene oxide and phthalic anhydride, and deleting advanced values and energy-saving management measures.
It was issued on 29 April 2024 and has been in force since 1 May 2025. Classification: ICS 27.010, CCS F01. The document runs to 27 pages, delivered complete in English translation.

Foreword
This document was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing documents.
This document replaces GB 30251-2013 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of oil refining, GB 30250-2013 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of ethylene plant, GB 31533-2015 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of purified terephthalic acid, GB 31534-2015 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of p-xylene, GB 31826-2015 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of polypropylene and GB 32053-2015 The norm of energy consumption per unit product of styrene. Compared with GB 30251-2013, GB 30250-2013, GB 31533-2015, GB 31534-2015, GB 31826-2015 and GB 32053-2015, apart from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) the scope of application of the standard has been changed (see Chapter 1; Chapter 1 of GB 30251-2013, GB 30250-2013, GB 31533-2015, GB 31534-2015, GB 31826-2015 and GB 32053-2015);
b) energy consumption limit grades per unit product have been added (see Chapter 4);
c) the energy consumption limit indicators for oil refining, ethylene, polypropylene, styrene, p-xylene and purified terephthalic acid have been changed, and energy consumption limit indicators for propylene oxide and phthalic anhydride have been added (see Chapter 4; Chapter 4 of GB 30251-2013, GB 30250-2013, GB 31533-2015, GB 31534-2015, GB 31826-2015 and GB 32053-2015);
d) the "advanced value" and the energy consumption limit indicator for diolefins have been deleted (see Chapter 4 of GB 30250-2013);
e) energy-saving management and measures have been deleted (see Chapter 6 of GB 30251-2013, GB 30250-2013, GB 31533-2015, GB 31534-2015, GB 31826-2015 and GB 32053-2015);
f) the reference values of the conversion coefficients of energy and energy-consuming working media to standard oil have been revised (see Annex A), the energy coefficients of refinery process units have been revised (see Annex C), and the energy factors of the storage and transport system, wastewater treatment plant, heat losses, power transmission and transformation losses and other auxiliary systems have been revised (see Annex D);
g) a method for calculating polypropylene output converted to the standard product has been added (see Annex F).
