On November 28, China Chemical Engineering Donghua Company and Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony for the EPC general contract for Section 1 of Phase 1 of the high-end alcohol-based chemicals project. This cooperation represents another important milestone achieved through their close partnership, following the projects for the comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas and methanol. Through years of close cooperation, the two parties have continued to refine their approaches and work together, always upholding professional standards to ensure the quality of the projects. Donghua Company will concentrate its best resources and assemble a top-tier team to, with the greatest enthusiasm, state-of-the-art technology, rigorous management, and a highly responsible attitude, go all out to turn this project into a benchmark and model project that features leading technology, standardized management, first-class quality, and significant benefits, thereby providing strong impetus for the high-quality development of both parties. The alcohol-based high-end chemicals project of CarbonXin Technology is located in the Anhui (Huaibei) New Coal Chemicals Synthetic Materials Base. Using methanol and ethanol, which are part of CarbonXin Technology’s existing industrial chain, it employs advanced process technologies and equipment to produce formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and pyridine derivatives. The construction includes a facility for producing 140,000 tons of formaldehyde per year, a facility for producing 60,000 tons of acetaldehyde per year, a facility for producing 20,000 tons of pyridine base per year, as well as supporting auxiliary facilities, with the aim of establishing a cluster for high-end alcohol-based chemicals. This project is a key component of the million-ton carbon-based new materials project in Anhui (Huaibei) New Coal Chemicals Synthesis Materials Base. It will further extend the coal chemicals industry chain, enable the clean and efficient conversion of raw materials, and promote the transformation of traditional chemical industries toward higher-value applications. Phase I of the Alcohol-based High-end Chemicals Project of Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd. Project nature: Expansion ； Construction location: Within the Linhuan area of the Anhui (Huaibei) New Coal Chemical Synthesis Materials Base, located on the north side of Huaxia Road in the park, on the west side of Huaixin South Road, and to the south of the Phase II ethanol production facility of Tanxin ； Project investment: Total investment of 1,179.2608 million yuan ； Construction contents: Include main production units, storage and transportation facilities, as well as auxiliary systems; the main production units comprise the formaldehyde plant, acetaldehyde plant, pyridine base plant, and pentaerythritol plant ； Storage and transportation facilities include tank farms, loading/unloading stations, and interplant and intraplant pipelines ； The supporting utility and auxiliary facilities include a refrigeration station, air compression station, circulating water station, cabinet room, substation, initial rainwater tank, accident tank, etc. Upon completion of the project, it will produce 170,000 tons of formaldehyde, 70,000 tons of acetaldehyde, 30,000 tons of pyridine base, and 30,000 tons of pentaerythritol per year; formaldehyde and acetaldehyde serve as raw materials for pyridine base and pentaerythritol. Basic information on current projects: Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd. currently has 3 main projects under its management, namely the comprehensive utilization project of coke oven gas, the comprehensive utilization project of methanol, and the project for producing 30,000 tons of ethylamine per year. Divided by Huayin Road, the facility is constructed in two sections in the north and south. The plant area on the north side of Huayin Road covers a total area of approximately 51.49 hectares, and it houses the facilities related to the comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas, as well as those related to the comprehensive utilization of methanol; in addition, it includes the auxiliary systems, environmental protection measures, and storage and transportation infrastructure required for these two projects ； The southern factory area covers an area of approximately 26.86 hectares, and it mainly houses the ethanol production unit associated with the comprehensive utilization of methanol, the project for producing 30,000 tons of ethylamine per year, as well as the supporting infrastructure, environmental protection facilities, and storage and transportation systems required for these two projects.
