The fifth coal-to-ethylene glycol production unit of Henan Energy Chemical Group came online. Author/Source: Huahua Network – Coal Chemical Industry. Date: March 12, 2018. Clicks: 34. On March 8, the coal-to-ethylene glycol plant in the Xinxiang industrial park belonging to Henan Energy Chemical Group started up successfully; at 11:18 on that day, high-quality ethylene glycol was produced. This marks the full operation of all five ethylene glycol production units owned by Henan Energy Chemical Group within the province. Aiming at the commissioning of the ethylene glycol production facility, the Xinxiang plant of Yongjin Chemical arranged time milestones, established evaluation methods, and supervised the commissioning process. Experts from related companies were invited to provide support, and technical personnel from various fields carried out thorough inspections and adjustments. With the support of Henan Energy and Chemical Group, various difficulties related to funding, technology, personnel, and administrative procedures were overcome, and several technical barriers were resolved. On March 8th at 11:18, high-purity ethylene glycol was successfully produced. Yongjin Chemical Investment Management Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by Henan Energy and Chemical Group Company and Tongliao Jinmei Chemical Co., Ltd., with each holding 50% of the shares, aimed at adjusting the industrial structure and transforming the mode of economic development. It is primarily engaged in the capital construction as well as the production and operation management of coal-based ethylene glycol chemical projects. After its establishment on May 18, 2010, Yongjin Investment set up wholly-owned subsidiaries in five cities in Henan Province, each of which is responsible for the capital construction and production operations of the local ethylene glycol plants with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons each. The five project subsidiaries are: Anyang Yongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Anyang Yongjin), Puyang Yongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Puyang Yongjin), Xinxiang Yongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xinxiang Yongjin), Yongcheng Yongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yongcheng Yongjin), and Luoyang Yongjin Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Luoyang Yongjin). All five projects utilize the coal-to-ethylene glycol synthesis technology owned jointly by Henan Coal and Chemical Industry Group and Tongliao Jinmei Chemical Co., Ltd., and which features independent intellectual property rights.
Congratulations to the coal-to-ethylene glycol plant at the Xinxiang Park of Yongjin Chemical, Henan Energy and Chemical Group Company, on its successful commissioning on the first attempt.
These five ethylene glycol production units at Yongjin Chemical utilize entirely the technology developed by Tongliao Jinmei. The two parties work together to build, use, and share this technology, which not only addresses the lack of ethylene glycol production technology in Henan Energy Chemicals and accelerates the progress of the project and its commissioning, but also reduces the costs associated with project investment and renovation； For Tongliao Jinmei, this approach resolved the issue of expansion speed, saved on capital investment through technical equity participation, and increased sales of catalysts – it can truly be described as a win-win situation. I hope there will be more such collaborations!
