The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone talks about safety, and everyone knows how to handle emergencies; identifying and addressing potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- According to Henan Zhongxin Chemical, the company strengthens process control, coal variety management, operational optimization, and safety measures to consolidate the foundations of its production and operations. In May 2026, the methanol production facility exceeded its monthly production targets, with key energy consumption indicators continuing to improve and reach new lows. Specifically, the coal consumption per ton of refined alcohol (on an equivalent basis) dropped to 1.143 tons per ton, while the coal consumption per ton of refined alcohol when using burned coal was 0.36 tons per ton. The coal consumption per ton of steam produced was 0.0945 tons per ton. These excellent results demonstrated the company’s achievements in improving efficiency and pursuing green, safe development. Henan Zhongxin Chemical uses two space furnaces for gas production, employing a process that includes partial conversion with a low water-gas ratio and wide temperature tolerance, low-temperature methanol washing, and isothermal methanol synthesis, to produce 300,000 tons of methanol. Put into operation in 2011.
