Boiler Ignition for Jutai Energy’s 1.8 million tons/year methanol-to-olefins project Author/Source: Huahua Network – Coal Chemicals Date: 2018-09-11 Clicks: 17 On September 10, the boiler ignition ceremony for Jutai Energy (Jungar) Co., Ltd.’s 600,000 tons/year olefins production project was held in the boiler area of the Jungar plant. The 600,000-tonne olefins project has achieved the commissioning of its key units, taking a crucial step toward its full operation. On August 2, the 110KV substation of JiuTai Energy (Zhungeer) Co., Ltd.’s methanol deep processing project was officially put into operation to supply electricity, marking a new stage in this methanol deep processing initiative and laying a solid foundation for the project’s timely commissioning. The methanol deep processing project of Jutai Energy (Jungar) Co., Ltd. began construction in 2013, with an planned investment of 8.28 billion yuan. The project utilizes advanced technology from the U.S.-based company UOP to produce low-carbon olefins from methanol; as of now, the overall completion rate of the project is over 85%, and it is expected to generate annual profits and taxes of 2.5 billion yuan once it goes into operation. With a production capacity of 600,000 tons of olefins, the plan is to produce 280,000 tons of polyethylene, 320,000 tons of polypropylene, 80,000 tons of butadiene, 25,000 tons of butene-1, 6,000 tons of MTBE, 60,000 tons of oils and liquefied petroleum gas, and 80,000 tons of styrene-butadiene rubber. Jiutai Energy (Zhungeer) Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Jiutai Energy Inner Mongolia Co., Ltd. To date, the Jiutai Group has established four coal chemical projects in Inner Mongolia: one operated by Jiutai Energy Inner Mongolia Co., Ltd., which produces 1 million tons of methanol and 100,000 tons of dimethyl ether, and this facility began operations in 2010 ； Jiutai Energy (Ordos) Co., Ltd.’s 500,000-ton ethylene glycol project (Phase 1: 200,000 tons) ； Jiutai Energy (Zhungeer) Co., Ltd.’s 600,000-ton peroxide project, as well as Inner Mongolia Jiutai New Materials Co., Ltd.’s 1 million-ton ethylene glycol and 1.8 million-ton PTA projects.
