On September 18, 2018, the China (Taiyuan) International Energy Industry Expo came to an end. The highlight of this event was the ceremony for signing major projects in Shanxi Province, which was held at the Taiyuan Coal Trading Center. A total of 42 major projects were successfully signed, with a total investment amount of 62.52 billion yuan, and an intended amount of investment attraction at 55.92 billion yuan. It covers industries such as advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy vehicles, general aviation, energy conservation and environmental protection, big data, new materials, modern pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as modern coal chemical industry. Among them, ** in Shanyin County, Shuozhou City, signed a project agreement with Beijing Ward Rongjin Investment Co., Ltd. for a coal-to-ethylene glycol facility with a total investment of 4.85 billion yuan and an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons. It is reported that the project is located in the Jinyuhaiyang Industrial Park, Beizhouzhuang Town, Shanyin County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. The design of the project was carried out by Donghua Engineering Technology Co., Ltd.; it uses locally available coal with a high ash fusion point from Shuozhou, Shanxi, as raw material. The technology of two water-cooled wall waste boiler gasifiers (Jinhua Furnace 3.0) developed by Beijing Qingchuang Jinhua Technology Co., Ltd., along with the CTEG technology developed by Gaochemical and Donghua Technology, is employed to produce ethylene glycol. Shanxi Songlan Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. is responsible for the construction and operation of this project. Songlan Chemical was established in October 2016, with a registered capital of 100 million RMB. Its registered location is the Jinyanghai Industrial Park in Shanyin County, Shanxi Province. Songlan Chemical Co., Ltd. was jointly established by Beijing Ward Rongjin Investment Holding Co., Ltd., Li Yuxin, and Zhang Xiuping. The main construction components of the project include coal storage and transportation facilities, gasification units, purification units, H2/CO separation units, dimethyl oxalate production units, ethylene glycol production units, as well as supporting utility facilities such as heating systems and circulating water systems. The initial production capacity is: 300,000 tons per year of ethylene glycol, along with by-products such as sulfur and ammonium sulfate. On February 1, 2018, Donghua Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Songlan Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. signed the \"Engineering Design Contract for a 600,000 tons/year coal-to-ethylene glycol project (with an initial capacity of 300,000 tons/year)\\" on that same date. Donghua Engineering is responsible for the basic design and detailed engineering of this project, with a contract value of 33.5 million RMB. On February 2, 2018, Shanxi Songlan’s 600,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol production facility signed a process package agreement with Beijing Qingchuang Jinhua Technology Co., Ltd. This project is another coal-to-ethylene glycol facility, following Xinjiang Tianye’s 1 million tons per year coal-to-ethylene glycol plant, since the launch of Jinhua Furnace 3.0.
