On May 14, the kick-off meeting for the first batch of projects under Yitai’s 1.2 million-ton fine chemicals industry chain expansion plan in 2018 was held in the southern project area of the Duguitala Industrial Park in Hangjin Banner. It is reported that 4 projects will commence construction simultaneously this time, with a total investment of around 3.17 billion yuan. The projects include: ① Yitaining Energy’s 500,000-ton FTO alkanes fine separation project ； ②Lianbo 400,000-ton food-grade carbon dioxide project ； ③Yilin 200,000-ton ethylene glycol project ； ④The Yilin 100,000-ton polyglycolic acid project is expected to generate an annual output value of around 5.247 billion yuan and tax revenues of about 246 million yuan once it is completed and operational, while also creating more than 380 job opportunities. The 500,000 tons per year fine separation project for fischer-tropsch alkanes at Yitaining Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. is located to the west of Tai Si Road, in the southern area of the Duguitala Industrial Park, Hangjin Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was invested and constructed by Inner Mongolia Yitai Ningneng Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd., with a construction period of 12 months. This project actually processes 1.2 million tons per year of FTO crude wax and 540,000 tons per year of stabilized alkanes from Inner Mongolia Yitai Chemical Co., Ltd.’s fine chemicals production facility. The main products include n-alkanes, isomeric alkanes, n-hexane, n-heptane, light white oil, and industrial white oil; the production volume is 502,000 tons, with the remaining 38,000 tons of straight-chain alkanes being sent back to Inner Mongolia Yitai Chemical Co., Ltd. Supporting facilities such as storage, transportation, loading, and unloading equipment, hard wax warehouses, and recirculating water systems are included as well as other auxiliary production and utility facilities. Facilities for exhaust gas recovery, wastewater treatment, flare systems and flare gas recovery, as well as water and power supply, are part of the construction efforts associated with Inner Mongolia Yitai Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 1.2 million tons per year fine chemicals project. The 200,000 tons per year synthetic gas-based ethylene glycol production project in Inner Mongolia’s Yilin is located in the southern area of the Duguitala Industrial Park. It is to be invested and constructed by the Shanghai Danmao Chemical Technology Center, with an estimated investment of 1.45 billion yuan. The project is an extension of the industrial chain for downstream products of Yitai Chemical Industry; it will utilize resources such as excess steam, syngas, and oxygen generated by Yitai’s 1.2 million-ton fine chemicals project, along with the existing water supply infrastructure, to build a facility capable of producing 200,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year. The construction scope includes gas purification and separation unit systems, ethylene glycol synthesis units, finished product storage areas, intermediate storage areas, circulating water stations, refrigeration stations, cabinet rooms, power transformation and distribution rooms, as well as loading and unloading stations. Some of the utility systems are provided by the adjacent Yitai Fine Chemicals project. The total investment for the project is 1,599,928,800 yuan, of which 9.2 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures. It is reported that China National Chemical Engineering 11th Construction Company has won the contract for the construction and installation work of Inner Mongolia Yilin Chemical’s 200,000 tons per year syngas-to-ethylene glycol project, with a contract value of 220 million yuan. Yitai Group’s 1.2 million-ton fine chemicals project in Inner Mongolia is located in the southern area of the Duguitala Industrial Park in Hangjin Banner, Ordos. It received approval for its environmental impact assessment in August 2011 (Document No. Neihuan Shen (2011) 240). The total estimated investment for the project is around 19.2 billion yuan. The project utilizes the advanced high-temperature slurry-bed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology developed by China Science Academy, as well as the Aerospace Changzheng coal gasification technology, to produce 1# low-aroma solvent, 3# low-aroma solvent, light liquid paraffin, heavy liquid paraffin, cetane number improvers, LPG, sulfur, sulfuric acid, and blended alcohols.
