Jianyuan Coal Coking’s 260,000-ton ethylene glycol project enters final testing phase Author/Source: Yaha Coal Chemical Industry Date: November 14, 2019 Clicks: 88 In the Etoke Economic Development Zone, Jianyuan Coal Coking Co., Ltd. is in the final stages of testing its project to produce 260,000 tons of ethylene glycol as a by-product of its 2.8 million-ton coking operation. The total investment in this project is 6 billion yuan. It utilizes the world’s first facility for converting coke oven exhaust gas into ethylene glycol; through processes such as storage in gas tanks, desulfurization and decarbonization, ethylene glycol synthesis, and distillation, all of the more than 2.8 million tons of coke oven exhaust gas generated by the company can be used to produce ethylene glycol. Once completed, this project will become the world’s largest production base for ethylene glycol derived from coke oven exhaust gas. Ethylene glycol is an important chemical raw material that is widely used in industries such as manufacturing and agriculture. The technology for producing ethylene glycol from coke oven exhausts has reduced the production costs associated with traditional petroleum- and coal-based methods by 30%, while also preventing environmental pollution caused by coke oven exhausts. As a large private enterprise that integrates coking coal mining, coal washing and processing, coking, and chemical manufacturing, Eket Banner Jianyuan Coal Coking Co., Ltd. has built a facility with an annual production capacity of 3.5 million tons of coking coal, as well as the ability to process 6 million tons of raw coal per year. The construction of the second-phase project will maximize the usable value of coal, thereby truly establishing a circular economic industry chain for coal, coke, and chemicals. In the first three quarters, Etoke Banner achieved a regional GDP of 36.61 billion yuan, representing a growth rate of 5.6%, which accounted for 76% of the target set at the beginning of the year ； Fixed asset investment increased by 12.3%, the added value of industries above a certain scale rose by 9.7%, and general public budget revenue amounted to 1.992 billion yuan, an increase of 1.7% ； The total retail sales of consumer goods amounted to 3.62 billion yuan, an increase of 1.3% ； The incomes of permanent urban and rural residents reached 35,180 yuan and 13,432 yuan respectively, with increases of 6.8% and 9.2%. The expenditure under the public finance budget amounted to 2.86 billion yuan, representing a growth of 5.8%; of this amount, 2.31 billion yuan was spent on livelihood-related initiatives, an increase of 1.4%, accounting for 80.7% of the total public finance budget expenditure.
