Erlie Clean Energy Co., Ltd. to build a new FTO synthesis project Author/Source: Ordos Daily Date: 2020-04-13 Clicks: 6 Recently, the 83,600-ton-per-year production facility for high-value FTO waxes and eco-friendly solvents, operated by Erlie Clean Energy Co., Ltd.’s Dalat branch located in the Dalat Economic Development Zone, was approved for implementation; the total investment in this project is 1.34 billion yuan. In recent years, the Dalat branch of Ely Green Energy Co., Ltd. has made full use of its resource and management advantages to further enhance industry benchmarking practices. The quality of its calcium carbide products as well as its energy consumption are at leading levels in China, and the company has gradually become a benchmark enterprise in the national calcium carbide industry. To build a smart factory that is energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, safe, innovative, and circular in operation, the company makes full use of the 320 million cubic meters of excess off-gases from calcium carbide furnaces to establish a project that utilizes Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology to produce 83,600 tons per year of high-value Fischer-Tropsch waxes as well as clean and environmentally friendly solvents. Fischer-Tropsch wax is an alkane polymer derived from hydrocarbon-based syngas or natural gas synthesis, and it offers a significant price advantage over crude oil wax ； It features low viscosity, a high softening point, and a high melting point, as well as excellent lubricating properties, making it widely used in industrial production. Implementing flexible cogeneration projects that utilize waste for energy production is in line with both **energy development policies and the requirements for industrial development to reduce excess capacity.** The launch and implementation of this project enable the green utilization of industrial exhaust gases, setting a precedent for the transformation of the calcium carbide industry toward higher value-added products. It creates more job opportunities in the local area, and holds great practical significance for promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of the regional economy.
