In order to accelerate the construction of this project and address any issues that may arise during its implementation, Zhang Jian Gong, Chairman, Party Secretary, and General Manager of Kailuan Group, along with Vice General Manager Su Keshun, recently visited Ordos City to discuss ways to speed up the project’s progress. Siqin Bilige, Deputy Secretary of the Ordos Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, Ma Yongfei, Deputy Mayor, and others participated in in-depth discussions. Kailuan Group has invested 6.644 billion yuan in the construction of a project to produce 400,000 tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year. Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is the entity responsible for this investment, and it is building this facility in the Dong Industrial Park of Dalu New Area, Zhungeer Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The registered capital of Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical is 250 million yuan, with Inner Mongolia Kailuan Investment Co., Ltd. contributing 225 million yuan, accounting for 90% of it ； Inner Mongolia Shengli Resources Group Co., Ltd. contributed 10 million yuan, accounting for 4% ； Liu Hua invested 7.5 million yuan, accounting for 3% ； Liu Yuma invested 7.5 million yuan, accounting for 3%. It is reported that this project is a key initiative of the Kailuan Group aimed at establishing a integrated development model that combines coal production, coal-fired power generation, and coal chemical industry; it plays an important role in implementing the group’s strategy for transformation and development. At present, the preliminary work is in full swing; the project has been registered and a permit for 12 hectares of land for construction has been obtained. The signing of contracts for the Jinhua furnace process package and the ethylene glycol process package is about to be completed. Next, the enterprise and the local authorities will strengthen coordination in their work, expedite the approval processes for environmental impact assessments, energy evaluations, water usage quotas, land use, and other related matters, to ensure that the project construction is completed within the planned timeline. The 400,000-ton per year coal-to-ethylene glycol project of Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Dong Industrial Park of Dalu New Area, Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The construction involves a production line capable of producing 400,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year, along with the associated auxiliary facilities. The production process uses gas generated by the Jinhua furnace water-coal slurry gasification technology as the feed gas; Co-Mo wide-temperature sulfur-tolerant partial conversion is employed to adjust the ratio of H2 to CO to meet the requirements for ethylene glycol production. Desulfurization and decarburization are carried out using low-temperature methanol washing, while the separation of H2 and CO is achieved through deep cryogenic separation ； H2 concentration is achieved using the PSA process; dimethyl oxalate is produced via methanol carbonylation, and ethylene glycol is obtained by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate.
