Signing of the project to produce ethylene glycol from excess syngas at Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. Author/Source: Date: 2017-10-19 Clicks: 18 On October 18, a signing ceremony for this project was held in Yongcheng City, Henan Province. Among them, the project to produce 200,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year from excess syngas at Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. has been officially signed and put into operation. Sheng Tianbao, deputy general manager of Henan Energy and Chemical Group, Shi Zigeng, chairman of Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Industry, and other corporate leaders attended the signing ceremony. The project of Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. to produce 200,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year from excess synthesis gas is located in the industrial cluster area of Yongcheng City. The investment in this project amounts to 1 billion yuan, and it will make use of all the excess synthesis gas available in the park, which amounts to 50,000 standard cubic meters per hour. Once completed, it will also be able to communicate and interact with other devices in the park; substantial progress has already been made regarding the funding for the project and the land allocation. Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary controlled by Yongmei Company of Henan Energy and Chemical Group, with a factory area of 76.3 hectares. The first-phase project with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of methanol is a key construction project under Henan Province’s 11th Five-Year Plan. It utilizes Shell’s pressurized coal gasification technology, and can process 1.27 million tons of coal and coal gangue per year. The main products are 500,000 tons of refined methanol and 200,000 tons of dimethyl ether per year, while the by-products include 4,000 tons of sulfur and 15,000 cubic meters of liquid argon. The second-phase project, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of acetic acid, is planned to require an investment of 4.7 billion yuan. The project mainly includes an acetic acid production unit, a pentagonal furnace gasification unit, an air separation unit, a syngas purification unit, a sulfur recovery unit, as well as utility and auxiliary production facilities.
Another ethylene glycol production plant that uses a five-ring furnace; these furnaces seem to be less common these days. I’m curious about the new technologies used in this plant, as well as its capacity per furnace. Overall, powder coal gasification has seen good development in recent years, with many new furnace designs being created. Kudos to these innovations in China! In recent years, there has been a decline in foreign technology transfers, while domestic technology transfers have increased, showing a trend of capturing most of the market. At the same time, transfer prices are becoming lower, and domestic technologies are gaining more influence.
