Signing of Gasification Technology Contract for Xinjiang Tianye’s 600,000 tons/year Ethylene Glycol Project / Author/Source: Date: 10-18-2017 Clicks: 65 On October 13th, Xinjiang Tianye Huihe New Materials Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Yangmei Chemical Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd. held a simple, solemn, and highly significant signing ceremony for the “4 sets of 6.5MPa Jinhua furnaces 3.0” at a temporary conference room located at the construction site of Tianye Huihe’s first-phase project to produce ethylene glycol from syngas, with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons, within the Shihu Tan New Materials Industrial Park in Shihezi, Xinjiang. “Signing the contract for four sets of 6.5MPa Jinhua furnaces model 3.0 is of great significance for both of our companies! ”Li Guangmin, Party Secretary and Executive Director of Yangmei Fengxi, as well as Chairman of Yangmei Chemical Machinery, could not hide his excitement and joy: “This is the second time we have reached a successful agreement with Tianye Group, and this time it holds even greater historical and future significance!” ” Li Guangmin told the reporters, “In 2013, when Xinjiang Tianye decided to launch a new coal-to-ethylene glycol project with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons and opted for the Jinhua furnace, we felt that the task was arduous yet the mission was honorable; therefore, we made the development of the Jinhua furnace a top priority.” In collaboration with the team led by Academician Yue Guangxi from Tsinghua University, we visited Tianye’s production sites on multiple occasions to understand the specifics of the project. We specifically designed two sets of 6.5MPa Jinhua furnaces 2.0 for Tianye Company, thereby paving the way for the manufacture and use of 6.5MPa-grade Jinhua furnaces. Since its commissioning, the project has performed well, serving as a model for cooperation between chemical enterprises in Shanxi and Xinjiang. ” “In 2013, when we started working on coal-to-ethylene glycol production, we were newcomers in the field of gasification; many industry experts doubted that we would be able to operate the gasification reactors successfully At that time, Jinhua Furnace was also a newcomer in the field of gasification, and some people joked, ‘What good can come from two beginners working together?’ ’However, we don’t think so; both of us firmly believed at that time that it was precisely because of being new that we possessed greater creativity and inventiveness, had a competitive advantage as newcomers, and were better able to draw on the strengths of others. That’s why we dared to be the first in Xinjiang and become the ‘first to try something new’! ”Song Xiaoling, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Tianye Group, told reporters: “Over the past three years, through repeated tests during trial production, successful trials of various coal types, and 150 days of continuous operation, we have remained strong in the face of doubts, grown through close cooperation, and reaped benefits amid changing circumstances. The robust Jinhua furnace has won trust, while its ability to operate stably and continuously for long periods at a domestic advanced level has given us confidence to introduce the Jinhua Furnace 3.0, which features improved technical performance, better energy utilization, and enhanced environmental benefits – marking our second collaboration!” ”
