Views: 77. From May 23rd to 24th, a meeting was held to review the overall coordination and control plan for China Anhui United Coal Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 1.7 million tons/year coal-to-methanol and related olefins production project. Wu Wenxin, Deputy Director of Sinopec’s Engineering Department; Zhang Qiang, Deputy General Manager of Zhongtian Hechuang Chemical Co., Ltd.; Zuo Jigong, Deputy General Manager of Guizhou Energy Chemical Group; representatives from Sinopec’s Engineering Department, Materials and Equipment Department, Chemicals Business Unit, Great Wall Energy Chemical, and Refining and Chemical Engineering Company; as well as relevant responsible persons from coal chemical project contractors, the company itself, its coal chemical subsidiaries, and the project management department, along with some invited experts, attended the meeting. 　　The meeting was organized by the Engineering Department of Sinopec, and teams responsible for engineering management and production preparation conducted a detailed review of the overall control plan for the Zhongan United Coal Chemical Project. Finally, the experts present read out their review comments, agreeing in principle to the overall control plan, and offered suggestions and recommendations for subsequent optimization efforts. 　　Overall Control Plan for the Review of the 1.7 million-ton coal-to-olefins project in Anhui On May 13, the 350,000-ton/year polypropylene production unit of Zhong’an United Coal Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 1.7 million tons/year coal-to-methanol and olefins conversion project officially began construction. This marks the entry of the Zhongan United project into the actual construction phase. With the successful commissioning of the polypropylene plant, the civil engineering and installation work for the other plant areas of the Zhongan United coal-to-methanol and converted olefins project will also commence one after another. 　　The Zhong’an United Coal Chemical Integration Project is a key construction project of Sinopec and Anhui Province. Zhongan United Coal & Chemical Co., Ltd. was established on December 18, 2010, with a registered capital of 4 billion yuan. It is funded equally, at 50% each, by Sinopec Corporation and Anhui Wanbei Coal and Electricity Group Co., Ltd. The core process of the Zhong’an United Coal Chemical Integration Project utilizes the S-MTO patented technology owned by Sinopec, while the gasification unit employs the SE-Dongfang furnace technology also owned by Sinopec. Using coal from the Zhujixi mine as raw material, methanol and converted olefins (LDPE/PP), ethylene glycol (MEG) and other products are produced. Sinopec Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. is responsible for the overall management of the design, procurement, and construction of the MTO/OCC and PP units in this project, as well as six supporting facilities including the control room and 110 kV substation ； Sinopec Ningbo Engineering Co., Ltd. is responsible for the design and construction of the gasification unit for the contracted project. 　　Sinopec currently has 5 coal chemical bases in place, and is carrying out the planning and construction of projects including the Ningdong coal-to-chemicals project in Ningxia, the Zhongtian Hechuang coal-to-olefins project in Inner Mongolia, the Zhongan coal-to-olefins project in Anhui, the Bijie coal-to-olefins project in Guizhou, and the Zhundong coal-to-gas project in Xinjiang. Among them, the projects in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia are already in operation, the project in Anhui is under construction, the project in Guizhou has passed the environmental impact assessment, while the project in Xinjiang is in the preliminary stage. 　　Ningxia Ningdong Coal-to-Chemicals Project: Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemicals (Ningxia) Co., Ltd. is a large state-owned enterprise established through a joint investment by Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Guodian Yinglite Energy Chemicals Group Co., Ltd.; the shareholding ratio between the two parties is 95:5. It serves as a model enterprise for circular economy in the construction of the Ningdong Energy Chemicals Base, and it is the first enterprise in Sinopec’s coal chemical industry sector to go into operation. 　　The project integrates coal mining, power generation, and coal chemical projects, and includes a production area as well as the Jijiajing mining area. Its coal chemical production area is known as the \"Ningxia Energy and Chemicals Coal-based Integrated Chemical Industrial Park,\" located in Lingwu City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, covering an area of 8.33 square kilometers. In the initial stage of the project, work was carried out following a approach of overall planning and separate design submissions for approval, encompassing 5 coal chemical projects, as well as thermal power, cement, and utility projects, plus two mining projects. The Ningxia project was originally invested in and constructed by Guodian Yinglite; Sinopec acquired the equity only after most of the design and construction work was completed. Due to inherent flaws in the product and construction plans, the project has performed poorly since it went into operation. 　　Inner Mongolia Zhongtian Hechuang Coal-to-Olefins Project: Zhongtian Hechuang Energy Co., Ltd. was established in September 2007 through investment by Sinopec, China National Coal Energy Group, Shanghai Shenneng, and Inner Mongolia Manshi Coal Group, in a shareholding ratio of 38.75:38.75:12.5:10. Zhongtian Hechuang Company has a coal division and a chemical division, which serve as the main entities responsible for the construction of the coal mines and chemical plants in the coal-and-chemical integration project in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Among them, China Coal Energy is primarily in charge of the construction of the coal mine projects, while Sinopec is responsible for the construction of the chemical plant projects. 　　The Zhongtian Hechuang Ordos Coal Deep Processing Demonstration Project was launched simultaneously under a model of integration of coal processing, power generation, and heating, as well as multiple product production. Among them, coal chemical projects are submitted for **approval in two phases; the first phase includes construction of coal-to-methanol facilities, thermal power plants, and related infrastructure, while the second phase involves the construction of methanol-to-olefins facilities, polyolefins, and related infrastructure. 　　Anhui Zhongan Coal-to-Olefins Project Zhongan United Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is a large-scale coal chemical company established through a joint venture between Sinopec and Anhui Wanbei Coal and Electricity Group Co., Ltd. The project is located in Huainan City, Anhui Province, spanning one district and one county. The two parties are investing in its construction with a 50% share each, and the capacity of the project is 4 million tons per year. The Zhong’an United Coal Chemical Project includes a facility for producing 1.7 million tons per year of methanol from coal, an installation for producing 600,000 tons per year of olefins from methanol (including an OCC unit), a facility for producing 350,000 tons per year of LLDPE, and a facility for producing 350,000 tons per year of PP, along with related auxiliary utility facilities. 　　Guizhou Bijie Coal-to-Olefins Project The Guizhou coal chemical project is located in Chadian Township, Zhijin County, Bijie City, about 128 kilometers away from Guiyang City. Its chemical processing section mainly includes 4 sets of process units, along with supporting facilities such as dedicated railway lines, off-site slag dumps, and external 220-kilovolt power supply lines. The electricity and steam for the project are supplied by a cogeneration plant built by Zhijin Biyun Energy Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemical Guizhou Co., Ltd ； The raw coal and fuel coal are supplied by Bijie Zhongcheng Energy Co., Ltd., a joint venture controlled by Guizhou Shuicheng Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. (with a 51% stake) and in which Sinopec Great Wall Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. holds a 49% stake. 　　Xinjiang Zhundong Coal-to-Gas Project The 8 billion cubic meters per year coal-to-natural gas project in Xinjiang Zhundong is being constructed by Sinopec Xinjiang Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. The company was established in March 2012 as a joint venture between Sinopec and Xinjiang State-owned Assets Investment and Operation Co., Ltd., with a shareholding ratio of 90:10. The project will include the construction of two coal mines with an annual production capacity of 28 million tons each, with a total investment of around 70 billion yuan. The coal required for the project comes from Sinopec’s own coal mines in Zhundong; the main product is natural gas, which is planned to be transported to target markets via the \"Xin Yue Zhe\" pipeline.
