Meeting held to review the energy-saving report for the waste heat and pressure recovery power generation project associated with Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials’ 1 million-ton-per-year coal-based ethylene glycol production facility / Author/Source: Coal Chemical Industry 114 Forum / Date: 10-30-2019 / Clicks: 7. On October 29, a meeting was held in Hohhot to review the energy-saving report for the waste heat and pressure recovery power generation project linked to Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials’ facility capable of producing 1 million tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year; the meeting was chaired by Zhou Yucheng, head of the Project Approval and Investment Department at the city’s Administrative Approval and Government Services Bureau. Xu Xiaojie, a member of the Party leadership group and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau for Administrative Approval and Government Services, delivered a speech. Wang Fuquan, the head of the inspection department, along with relevant technical personnel from companies, experts, and the units responsible for preparing the reports, attended the meeting. At the review meeting, the technical staff from Jutai New Materials Company presented an overview of the project planning and overall situation, while the report preparation unit gave a detailed explanation of the basis for preparation, the main energy-saving measures, and the energy consumption levels. Experts gave full approval to the waste heat and pressure recovery power generation project associated with Jiutai New Materials Company’s project to produce 1 million tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year, and provided suggestions on the content that needed to be added or revised in the report. After review, the project has been preliminarily approved. It is reported that Inner Mongolia Jutai New Materials Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Jutai Group, established in March 2017. The company’s project for producing 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year is a **key innovation project in the field of new coal chemical technologies that is highly encouraged; it is also a coal-based ethylene glycol project that receives strong support from Hohhot. The total land area covered by this project is 2,565 mu, with a total investment of 13.3 billion yuan. Among them, Air Products Inc. of the United States invested 4.8 billion yuan to build the air separation and gasification sections. The first-phase construction of Inner Mongolia Jiutai New Materials Company aims to achieve an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene glycol. The project utilizes aerospace-based coal gasification and Shell’s gasification technologies, low-temperature methanol washing technology, as well as the world-leading formaldehyde hydroxymethylation technology developed by Davy Company to produce ethylene glycol. This process represents the world’s first large-scale industrial installation, offering advantages such as advanced technology, energy efficiency, environmental protection, and high conversion rates. The construction period for this project is 3 years; trial operations are scheduled to begin in 2020, with full production starting in 2021. Once in operation, it will enable annual sales of 10.6 billion yuan and profits and taxes of 3.66 billion yuan, playing a significant role in addressing the shortcomings in Hohhot’s industrial sector. Founded in 2002, Jutai Group is a private enterprise focused on coal chemical products, as well as a **high-tech enterprise with independent intellectual property rights. Branches have been established in Linyi, Shandong; Ordos, Inner Mongolia; Guangzhou, Guangdong; Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu; and Beijing, among other locations, where the company is primarily engaged in the research and development as well as production of new material products such as methanol, olefins, ethylene glycol, and aromatics.
