The coal-based ethylene glycol production project of Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy began equipment installation in July. Author/Source: Huahua Net – Coal Chemical Industry. Date: 2020-06-24. Clicks: 6. On the morning of June 18, Cui Bo, head of the Political Consultative Conference of Ningxia Autonomous Region, and his entourage visited the ethylene glycol production site of Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. to conduct an on-site inspection of the project’s progress. At the ethylene glycol project site, Dang Yanping, chairman of Ningxia Baoli Group, provided a detailed account of the overall plan for the ethylene glycol project as well as the progress of its construction. Since the construction of Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd.’s 400,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol production project began in March 2019, progress has been smooth. The underground pipeline installation has been completed, and 80% of the civil engineering work is done. It is expected that full-scale equipment installation will begin in July 2020, ensuring that the plant can come online according to the original schedule. After listening to the report, Cui Bo gave high praise to the construction and development of the ethylene glycol project. Enterprises are required to strictly adhere to various epidemic prevention and control measures in order to carry out effective epidemic prevention work, ensure safe production and the smooth progress of project construction, and guarantee that ongoing projects are put into operation on schedule. The 400,000-ton per year coal-to-ethylene glycol production project of Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. is one of the key projects in the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. Located in the chemical new materials park of this base, the project has a total investment of 4.33 billion yuan. Coal is used as raw material to produce syngas, which is then used to manufacture products such as ethylene glycol, bisol, and hydrogen. The main construction components include 10 major production units for gasification, shift reaction and heat recovery, low-temperature methanol washing, PSA hydrogen production, deep cryogenic separation of CO, bisol production, sulfur recovery, and ethylene glycol production; in addition, auxiliary facilities such as circulating water systems, sewage treatment plants, tank areas, loading/unloading facilities, and flares are also built as part of the project. The entire process is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2021. The ethylene glycol plant uses a process for producing ethylene glycol from high-purity chemical synthesis gas, while the gasification plant employs the Shenning coal gasification process. Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. was established in August 2018 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ningxia Baoli New Energy. With a registered capital of 1.5 billion yuan, it is a key enterprise focused on the production of clean energy in the Ningdong area. The company collaborates with Ningdong Investment Company (which contributes 30% of the capital) to build a project that produces 400,000 tons of coal-based ethylene glycol per year.
