Author/Source: Date: 2017-09-21. Views: 22. On September 19, the first public notice regarding the environmental impact assessment of Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 1.8-million-ton-per-year coal-to-methanol project and the demonstration project for the development of coal-based new materials was issued; both projects are located in the Tongxin Industrial Park of Xinjiang Shengxiong Energy Development Co., Ltd., in Alewai Town, Toksun County, Xinjiang. The total investment for Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 1.8 million tons per year coal-to-methanol project is 12.08 billion yuan; the production capacity is 1.8 million tons per year of methanol ； The total investment for the coal-based new materials upgrading demonstration project is 8.863 billion yuan, with a production capacity of 400,000 tons per year of polypropylene and 300,000 tons per year of high-density polyethylene. In July, the internal review of the feasibility study reports for Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 1.8 million tons per year of coal-based methanol, as well as the demonstration project for the upgrading of coal-based new materials, was completed. The entity responsible for preparing these feasibility study reports was China Chengda Engineering Corporation. First Public Announcement on Public Participation in the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Upgrading Demonstration Project of Coal-Based New Materials under Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 1.8 Million Tons per Year Coal-to-Methanol Project I. Project Name and Overview Project Name: Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd.’s 1.8 Million Tons per Year Coal-to-Methanol Project Project Owner: Xinjiang Zhongtai New Energy Co., Ltd. Project Type: New construction Total Investment: 12.08 billion yuan Location: Tongxin Industrial Park, Ailehui Town, Tuoxun County, Xinjiang, operated by Xinjiang Shengxiong Energy Development Co., Ltd. Production Capacity: 1.8 million tons per year of methanol Project Components: The main components of the project include coal gasification facilities (including coal storage areas, coal preparation, feeding systems, gasifiers, and other production equipment), coal gas purification facilities (including coal gas shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, and sulfur recovery for acid production), and methanol synthesis facilities. The utility and auxiliary systems include refrigeration units, air compression systems, circulating water stations, central control and testing facilities, and maintenance services. Environmental protection facilities include wastewater treatment systems and flares.
