Design Coordination Meeting for Hebi Tengfei Clean Energy Co., Ltd.’s Project to Produce 300,000 tons per year of ethanol from dimethyl ether held; Author/Source: Coal Chemical Industry 114 Forum; Date: 2020-05-31; Clicks: 35. Recently, a design coordination meeting for Hebi Tengfei Clean Energy Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 300,000 tons per year of ethanol from dimethyl ether, designed by Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., was held in Hebi City. The meeting discussed key tasks such as the delivery of the process package and project progress, and made arrangements for the subsequent stages of the project. Members of the company’s project team along with the client inspected the site. It is reported that this project utilizes dimethyl ether technology developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences to produce ethanol products with high added value, thereby enabling the on-site conversion of raw materials. This approach helps improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise. At the same time, it is in line with the industrial policies aimed at restricting the use of grain for ethanol production, and it contributes to the development of ethanol production from non-grain sources. This process scheme has significant advantages in terms of cost, safety, and environmental protection. Once the project is put into operation, it can help the owner develop multiple chemical production routes, which is of great significance for improving the energy structure in the Hebi region, facilitating the transformation of the region’s resource advantages into advantages in the production of new chemical products, and promoting the expansion of the industrial chain. At the same time, this project is one of the key projects of our company, and it holds great significance for capturing market share in the construction of coal-based ethanol plants. Project Name: Project for Producing 300,000 tons per year of ethanol from dimethyl ether
Location: Moushan Area, Baoshan Circular Economy Zone, Hebi City
Constructor: Hebi Tengfei Clean Energy Co., Ltd.
Environmental Impact Assessment Agency: Henan Chemical Research Institute Co., Ltd.
Project Overview: The project requires an investment of 1.2 billion yuan to build a facility for producing 300,000 tons per year of ethanol from dimethyl ether; the project covers an area of approximately 240,000 square meters. This project uses syngas and dimethyl ether purchased from Baofa Energy Company as raw materials, and its main production units include: MDEA decarburization, gas separation, carbonylation unit, MAC hydrogenation, and product separation. It is reported that on April 30, the Hebi Ecology and Environment Bureau intended to publish a public notice regarding its approval decision on the environmental impact assessment document for Hebi Tengfei Clean Energy Co., Ltd.’s project aimed at producing 300,000 tons per year of ethanol from dimethyl ether. The public notice period is from April 30, 2020, to May 9, 2020.
