Zongtai Coal Coking Company of Xinjiang Corporation held a ceremony to resume work on the 200,000 tons per year methanol production project using coke oven gas. Author/Source: Date: 2019-03-29 Clicks: 2 On March 18, a ceremony to resume work on this project was held in the industrial park of Baicheng County. The company’s top executives, Sichuan Tianyi Technology Co., Ltd., which is the general contractor, as well as representatives from China State Construction Xinjiang Installation Engineering Co., Ltd., the construction supervisor, attended the ceremony. It is understood that Zhongtai Coal Coking is the first coal chemical enterprise in Baicheng County, Aksu Region, Xinjiang, to use coke oven gas for methanol production. The company’s 200,000 tons per year methanol production facility generates methanol through processes such as precise desulfurization, conversion, syngas compression, methanol synthesis, and methanol distillation. This approach features low investment costs, high output, energy efficiency, and good economic benefits. Once the project is completed and put into operation, it will be able to consume 432 million cubic meters of excess gas from coke ovens each year, and make effective use of 250 million cubic meters of hydrogen resources. This will result in a reduction of 39,500 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, thereby addressing the environmental pollution caused by the release of coke oven gas. In addition, the project can produce 200,000 tons of refined methanol per year, generating an annual output value of 440 million yuan and profits and taxes of over 50 million yuan; it will also create more than 150 job opportunities in Baicheng County. Once the project is put into operation, it will further facilitate the transformation of local resources with advantages, boost the economic development and structural adjustment of Baicheng County, and achieve simultaneous gains in terms of environmental protection and economic benefits.
