In order to advance the construction of the ethylene glycol project in an orderly manner and ensure seamless coordination between the design and construction teams, on July 30, Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. organized a design briefing meeting for the air separation unit, purification unit, and utility systems of this 400,000-ton/year coal-based ethylene glycol project. The meeting was chaired by Chief Engineer Zheng Kang. Huang Bin, General Manager of Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd., along with heads of relevant departments such as the Technology Department, Project Department, and Contract Budgeting Department, as well as over 80 participants from project construction units, supervision units, and Tianchen Design Institute, attended the meeting. This briefing was conducted through on-site inspections and meetings. At the meeting, the heads of various departments at Tianchen Design Institute provided detailed explanations and briefings on the design plans, technical challenges, construction requirements, precautions, as well as the contents of the relevant drawings. Subsequently, the various professional groups had thorough discussions on the issues identified during the preliminary review of the construction drawings during the discussion session dedicated to these drawings. The design institute answered each of the questions raised by the supervisor and the general contractor, and finalized the deadlines for completing the remaining tasks. The project owner emphasized that the project is now in a critical phase of construction; the contractors must thoroughly study and review the drawings, take into account the actual conditions on site, promptly identify and address any existing issues, and avoid rework resulting from misinterpretations of the design intent, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the project. All departments, design firms, and construction units must work closely together, enhance communication and exchange, and collaborate sincerely to ensure that all tasks are carried out effectively, thus guaranteeing that the project is completed and put into operation on schedule. On-site exploration for the design details of the air separation unit, purification unit, and utility systems for the ethylene glycol project. The 400,000-ton per year coal-based ethylene glycol production project carried out by Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. has made steady progress since its commencement in March 2019; 90% of the civil engineering work has been completed, and the project entered the full installation phase in August 2020. The successful holding of this meeting enabled all the participating parties to fully understand the design intentions and key aspects of construction, providing strong technical support for the orderly progress of the project. It is of great significance for advancing the construction schedule and achieving the set goals on time. 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 for the production of high-quality 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.
