Recently, the No. 1 frame steel column of the acetic acid unit in the Inner Mongolia Zhuozheng coal chemical project was successfully lifted into place. Located in the Nalinhe Industrial Park of the Sulihe Economic Development Zone in Wushen Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, this project adheres to the industry guidance policies aimed at promoting green and low-carbon development as well as energy conservation and environmental protection. It mainly produces more than 30 types of primary and secondary products, including methanol, acetic acid, polyglycolic acid, and polyoxymethylene, all of which possess good biodegradability and biocompatibility. Once completed, the products manufactured will be widely used in various fields such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, construction, polymer chemistry, and building engineering, thereby further promoting the diversification, low-carbon development, and advancement of the region’s energy economy. This lifting operation is the first of its kind for this facility, with 27 steel columns planned to be lifted. It is reported that each steel column is 10.35 meters long and weighs 6.1 tons. To ensure the safe and efficient execution of the work, the project team carefully coordinated key elements such as manpower, materials, and mechanical equipment, refined standardized construction procedures, and developed specialized safety plans. At the same time, through measures such as optimizing resource allocation, strengthening the coordination between different construction stages, and ensuring proper safety instructions on site, the project was able to successfully complete the lifting of all steel columns. On August 28, the 9th floor of Building A2, the employee housing area of HuiNeng ZhuoZheng Company, was successfully completed. It took only 66 days from the start of construction to the completion of the roof, setting a record for speed at Wushen. The residential area is located 4 kilometers away from the Zhuozheng project, covering an area of 153 mu. The plan calls for the construction of 22 dormitory buildings along with supporting facilities, with 7 buildings to be built in the first phase. Once completed, the project will provide a comfortable and convenient living environment for 5,600 employees. This completion creates favorable conditions for the dormitories to be ready for occupancy by the end of the year; it also accelerates the completion of subsequent projects. It demonstrates the professional skills and management capabilities of HuiNeng ZhuoZheng and Dongfang Road & Bridge, as well as HuiNeng’s commitment to providing care for its employees. As the employee living areas are rapidly developed and improved, Zhuozheng Company’s ability to attract talent will further increase, and employees’ sense of satisfaction will keep rising. This will encourage them to stay committed to Zhuozheng and devote themselves wholeheartedly to project development.
The Inner Mongolia Zhuozheng methanol and acetic acid project is located in the Nalinhe Industrial Park of the Sulihe Economic Development Zone in Wushen Banner. It covers an area of approximately 7,500 mu, with a total estimated investment of 59 billion yuan. Building on the existing facilities that can produce 1.2 million tons of methanol and 1 million tons of acetic acid per year, this project involves on-site investigations and technical exchanges with 53 entities, including design institutes, patent holders for process technologies, and manufacturing companies. In line with industry guidelines aimed at promoting green and low-carbon development as well as energy conservation and environmental protection, advanced technologies such as efficient and clean comprehensive utilization of coal based on its different quality levels, large-scale pulverized coal gasification, fixed-bed hydrocracking, technologies developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics for converting methanol into ethanol and formaldehyde into methyl glycolate, and polyglycolic acid production techniques from Shanghai Pujing are employed. The project will be constructed in two phases and four stages, with an expected production volume of 110.15 million tons by 2027, and a total output of 2.6–3.2 million tons of new material products by 2030. It produces 19 types of products, including methanol, acetic acid, vinyl acetate (VAC), ethanol, formaldehyde, polyoxymethylene (POM), polyglycolic acid (PGA), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, methyl valerate, mixed alcohols, polyglycolic acid oligomers, sulfur, coal tar, upgraded coal, liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), naphtha, and special diesel. Through subsequent processes such as chain extension, chain supplementation, chain solidification, and chain strengthening, more than 30 types of products can be manufactured, thereby enabling the advanced, diversified, and low-carbon development of coal chemical industry projects. The project will be constructed in two phases and four stages, with an expected production capacity of 1.1 million to 1.5 million tons by 2027, and a total capacity of 2.6 million to 3.2 million tons of new material products by 2030. Once completed, the project will undoubtedly provide strong support for the development of the core area of Ordos’ **modern coal chemical industry demonstration base**. Total project investment: The total investment for the project is 590,000 million yuan, of which 177,000 million yuan comes from own funds, while 413,000 million yuan will be obtained through bank loans. Planned construction period: May 2023 to December 2030. Construction location: Nalinhe Industrial Park, Sulihe Economic Development Zone, Wushen Banner, Ordos City. Construction content: Build a demonstration project for new materials with an annual production capacity of 2.6 million tons. The main products will be: 1 million tons per year of polyglycolic acid (PGA), 500,000 tons per year of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), 100,000 tons per year of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 120,000 tons per year of polyoxymethylene (POM), 50,000 tons per year of ethanol, 730,000 tons per year of acetic acid, and 50,000 tons per year of vinyl acetate ； By-products: 40,000 tons/year of mixed alcohols, 80,000 tons/year of polyglycolic acid oligomers ； Complementary facilities include water, power, gas, and steam supply systems from the park to the factory premises, as well as utility systems and auxiliary facilities such as air separation units, thermal power systems, raw material storage and transportation systems, and wastewater treatment facilities for various types of raw water. Additionally, there are living and welfare facilities, as well as ash disposal areas. The estimated investment for the first phase of the project is 25.5 billion yuan. Building on the existing facilities that produce 1.2 million tons of methanol and 1 million tons of acetic acid per year, this phase takes into account efficient and clean utilization of coal at different grades, as well as advanced processing techniques to enhance the value of products derived from methanol and acetic acid. By integrating green energy sources, the project aims to produce more than 30 types of main and auxiliary products, including acetic acid, ethanol, polyglycolic acid, and polyoxymethylene. The annual output value is expected to be around 11.7 billion yuan. The first phase is scheduled to begin operations in October 2026, with construction of the second phase starting simultaneously. The long-term plan covers an area of approximately 7,800 mu, with an estimated investment of 59 billion yuan, aiming to enter the market for high-end fine chemical products in the fields of new energy and new materials.
