The energy-saving review approval has been granted for the large-scale gas island project of Air Chemical Products (Hohhot) Co., Ltd. Author/Source: Yaha Coal Chemical Industry. Date: April 14, 2020. Clicks: 45. The large-scale gas island project in question is part of the facility built by Inner Mongolia Jutai New Materials Co., Ltd. to produce 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year; the annual comprehensive energy consumption of this project is approximately 790,000 tons of standard coal (in equivalent terms). Amid the stringent requirements for energy consumption control in both the autonomous region and our city, and in order to accelerate the construction of key projects in our city’s modern energy and chemical industry, through active consultations and coordination with the autonomous region, the large-scale gas island project of Air Chemical Products (Hohhot) Co., Ltd. has recently received approval for energy efficiency assessment from the Autonomous Region’s Development and Reform Commission. Project Name: Large-scale Gas Island Project of Air Chemical Products (Hohhot) Co., Ltd. Location: Industrial Park, Tuoketuo County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia; total land area is 180,851 m2. Construction contents: The main scale of this project involves a coal-to-gas plant with an output of 440,000 Nm3/h of usable gas (CO+H2), with a maximum capacity of 80,000 hours × 550,000 Nm3/h, as well as an air separation unit with a capacity of 2×100,000 Nm3. The construction site is located to the east of the ethylene glycol plant. The main components of the construction include gasification units, shift units, low-temperature methanol washing units, CO cryogenic separation units, PSA-H2 units, and air separation units, among other production facilities ； The supporting utility and auxiliary production facilities include: substations, refrigeration plants, control rooms and other auxiliary production facilities, with the rest relying on the ethylene glycol project outside the boundary area. Project investment: Total investment of 4,710 million yuan. On March 15, 2019, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the large-scale gas island project of Air Chemical Products (Hohhot) Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 4.7 billion yuan. Air Products and Chemicals is a world-leading company in the field of industrial gases. On August 18, 2018, the company signed a contract for coal-based syngas processing services for an ethylene glycol project with Inner Mongolia Jutai New Materials Company. AP Company will invest 4.7 billion yuan to build six core units, including modules for air separation, gasification, purification, and deep cryogenic separation of carbon monoxide.
