Recently, the winning bidder for the EPC general contract for the polyolefin packaging and automated warehouse facility in Shenhua Baotou Coal-to-Olefins Upgrade Demonstration Project was announced: the winning contractor is Hualu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., with a bid amount of 287.57 million yuan. The polyolefin packaging and automated warehouse are part of the utility facilities; the Shenhua Baotou project involves the construction of new packaging and automated warehouse facilities, shift change rooms, forklift charging areas, and other related structures. This facility is used to store polyolefin pellets delivered by the upstream polypropylene and polyethylene production units, which are then automatically packaged into 25kg bags. The packaged bagged materials are stacked and covered with plastic film, after which they are transported by RGV carts and aisle stackers to an automated vertical warehouse for storage. When it is necessary to transport and load the goods, they are discharged using a aisle-type stacker/conveyor system, and then forklifts are used to load them onto trucks or trains. The Shenhua Baotou project is equipped with 6 automatic retort pouch packaging lines, and the storage capacity of the automated warehouse is ≥23,040 units. The Shenhua Baotou Coal-to-Olefins Upgrade Demonstration Project is an upgrade and demonstration project carried out by Guoneng Baotou Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. on the basis of the world’s first coal-to-olefins demonstration plant, which has been in operation for many years. It is included among the major projects scheduled for the 13th Five-Year Plan as outlined in the \"Plan for the Innovative Development of the Modern Coal Chemical Industry\" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Shenhua Baotou Coal-to-Olefins Upgrade Demonstration Project is an upgrade and demonstration project carried out by Guoneng Baotou Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. on the basis of the world’s first coal-to-olefins demonstration plant, which has been in operation for many years. It is included among the major projects scheduled for the 13th Five-Year Plan as outlined in the \"Plan for the Innovative Development of the Modern Coal Chemical Industry\" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The total investment planned for this upgraded demonstration project for coal-based olefins (Phase II) is 17.15 billion yuan. The project’s capacity will be 2 million tons of methanol and 750,000 tons of polyolefins per year. By being planned in conjunction with the development of new energy sources, it aims to achieve deep integration between coal chemical processing and green electricity, green hydrogen, and green oxygen. This project is also a typical demonstration project for the upgrade of the \"million-ton-scale domestic production line for coal-to-olefins across the entire process.\" It utilizes a pulverized coal gasifier developed jointly by Collin Energy and China Shenhua Coal-to-Oil Chemical Co., with a daily coal feeding capacity of 2,000 tons per furnace. This technology not only possesses complete independent intellectual property rights but also sets a new example for collaborative innovation within the industrial chain. Furthermore, the project conducted experiments for the co-combustion of coal chemical wastewater using the powder coal gasification process for the first time, which holds pioneering significance for the advanced, diversified, and low-carbon development of modern coal chemistry.
