At 9 p.m. on August 22, the ignition control cabinet for the natural gas preheating burner in Gasification Unit A was powered on and underwent pre-ignition testing ； The second ignition test was conducted on the morning of the 23rd ； On the afternoon of the 23rd, Furnace A of the gasifier was officially ignited in the rain, and heating was successfully achieved. The successful ignition of this gasifier has laid a solid foundation for the construction of feeding material into the 9.30 gasifier. The construction site for the 300,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol production facility of Shaanxi Weihe Binzhou Chemical Co., Ltd., which is part of the Shaanxi Coal Chemical Industry Group, is located in the Xinminyuan Modern Coal Chemical Industrial Park in Bin County. The investment in this project amounts to 5.495 billion yuan. In April 2016, Shaanxi Weihe Binzhou Chemical Co., Ltd. signed a CTEG technology licensing agreement and an engineering design contract for a 300,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol project with Gaoxuehui and Donghua Engineering. The original owner of the project was Shaanxi Binchang Mining Group Co., Ltd. On November 19, 2014, the 300,000-ton coal-to-ethylene glycol project of Binchang Mining Group was officially transferred to Shaanxi Weihe Coal Chemical Group Co., Ltd. The project construction includes the main facilities such as gasification units, purification units, and ethylene glycol synthesis units, as well as auxiliary facilities for water supply and drainage, desalination stations, power supply, heating, and fire protection. It also encompasses storage and transportation systems, as well as environmental protection measures such as waste gas treatment, wastewater treatment, and solid waste disposal. Upon completion, the project will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of ethylene glycol; the by-products will include 17,576 tons of crude DMC per year, 5,336 tons of DMO reconstituted components per year, 5,920 tons of fusel oil per year, 13,440 tons of light fractions per year, 6,048 tons of heavy fractions of ethylene glycol per year, and 4,321.6 tons of sulfur per year. The total investment for the project is 5.495 billion yuan, of which 444 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures.
