Progress on the Construction of Jiu Tai Ethylene Glycol Project in Inner Mongolia Author/Source: Shaanxi Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. Date: 2019-08-22 Clicks: 3 A few days ago, Shaanxi Chemical Engineering Construction Company launched an intensive effort in the construction of the wastewater treatment system for Jiu Tai New Materials’ project to produce 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year in Inner Mongolia. The project commenced on May 29, 2019, with the completion of civil works scheduled for September 30, 2019. To date, 510 tons of rebar has been used for the construction of the regulation tanks and emergency tanks in the wastewater treatment facility, accounting for 53% of the total required; 3,300 cubic meters of concrete has been poured, representing 66% of the total amount needed ； 800t of steel reinforcement has been tied in the AO pool, accounting for 42% of the total amount ； The bedding for the denitrification tank and BAF tank has been poured. Jiutai Energy (Ordos) Co., Ltd.’s project with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of ethylene glycol uses coal as raw material and employs space-based pressurized coal gasification technology to produce crude syngas. The ethylene glycol is manufactured using Air Products of the United States’ air separation technology and the Dow Company’s formic acid hydroxymethylation method; this represents the first industrial demonstration plant in China for Dow’s ethylene glycol production technology. Jiutai Energy (Ordos) Co., Ltd. is located in the Dalu Industrial Park in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiutai Energy Inner Mongolia Co., Ltd. To effectively promote the deep processing and on-site conversion of coal in the Ordos region, extend the industrial chain, and increase the added value of products, the company obtained approval from the Autonomous Region’s Development and Reform Commission in January 2014 to build a project for the production of 500,000 tons per year of ethylene glycol. This project covers an area of 1,000 mu, with a total investment of 7 billion yuan.
