On the morning of September 9th, a construction mobilization meeting was held in the Naomaohu Industrial Park in Yiwu County, Hami City, Xinjiang, for the country’s first project to produce ethylene glycol from waste gas – namely, the project carried out by Hami Guanghui Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. Han Changen, General Manager of China National Chemical 11th Construction Co., Ltd., Bai Tao, Deputy General Manager, and Yang Geng, Manager of the Fourth Engineering Company, were invited to attend the meeting; Han Changen spoke on behalf of China National Chemical 11th Construction Co., Ltd. The construction of the Guanghui ethylene glycol project is located in the Naomaohu Industrial Park, Yiwu County, Hami City, Xinjiang, with a total investment of 3.56 billion yuan. The project adopts the third-generation \"WHB syngas-based polyester-grade ethylene glycol\" technology, jointly developed by China Five Rings and Huashuo Technology Co., Ltd. as well as Hebi BMW (Group) Co., Ltd. Through a series of processes including conversion, shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, and PSA adsorption separation, the valuable syngas components H2 and CO present in raw gas are extracted, and high-end chemical products—polyester-grade ethylene glycol—are produced using carbonylation, hydrogenation, and purification technologies. Compared with coal-based ethylene glycol production projects, using waste gas to produce ethylene glycol can save more than 30% in project construction costs. It helps to significantly reduce the production costs of ethylene glycol and improve the overall profitability of such projects. This approach not only aligns with the concept of green development but also plays a very positive role in promoting energy conservation and emission reduction as well as protecting the ecological environment.
