Aerospace Engineering signs contract for EPC of world’s largest coal-based ethanol project / Author/Source: Sinochem New Network / Date: 2020-06-04 / Clicks: 5 On June 2, the signing ceremony for the EPC contract of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.’s (hereinafter referred to as “Yushen Energy Chemical”) 500,000-ton/year coal-based ethanol project was held in Xi’an. As the EPC general contractor for the gasification unit of this project, the Aerospace Engineering Company signed a general contract with Yushen Energy Chemical Company, with a contract value of 590 million yuan. Tang Guohong, chairman of the aerospace engineering company, and Li Junlin, executive director of Yushen Energy Chemical Company, signed the EPC general contract. Jiang Congbin, General Manager of the Aerospace Engineering Company, said in his speech that the company would assemble a project team with excellent technical skills, high professional competence, and strong management capabilities, so as to ensure successful operation on the first attempt and passing of performance tests through high-quality services. It would work closely with all parties to build the world’s largest coal-based ethanol project. Zhu Yuying, deputy general manager of the aerospace engineering company, and others attended the signing ceremony. The project under contract is located in the South Area of Qingshui Industrial Park, Yushen Industrial Park, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. It utilizes two 2,000-ton-class space furnaces, with Xiwan coal as the raw material, to produce 500,000 tons of ethanol per year, while generating by-products such as ethyl acetate and sulfur. The project includes process units such as gasification, shift conversion, syngas purification, gas separation, methanol production, sulfur recovery, and ethanol production facilities, as well as supporting utilities, storage and transportation systems, auxiliary production facilities, systems engineering, and service facilities. Once completed, this project will become the world’s largest coal-based ethanol production facility with an annual output of 500,000 tons, and it will play a significant role in promoting the use of ethanol gasoline, reducing pollution and noise, and ensuring **energy security. The aerospace engineering company possesses a space coal pressurized gasification technology with fully independent intellectual property rights, which is at the international leading level. This technology features efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost conversion, with outstanding advantages such as high operational safety, good production stability, wide adaptability to different coal types, excellent operational parameters, and effective comprehensive utilization. The company holds an absolute leadership advantage in terms of long-term stable operation, maintaining a world record for consecutive A-grade operation of 467.5 days. On this basis, the original core technology team at the aerospace engineering company has continuously carried out data regression, accumulating extensive data on project operations, and has undertaken extensive efforts to optimize and upgrade the design technologies across the entire facility. The company was the first to develop a dedicated design collaboration platform; by relying on systematic approaches, professional expertise, and information technology, it ensures the intrinsic safety of designs while significantly improving their economic efficiency, thereby creating the greatest possible value for clients – an achievement that has been highly recognized by them.
