Meeting on the Detailed Design Layout Review of the Coal Unloading and Storage Facility for Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy Chemicals’ 500,000-ton/year coal-based ethanol project held / Author/Source: Chemical Industry Network, Coal Chemicals Sector / Date: 2020-08-14 / Clicks: 5. Recently, a meeting to review the detailed design layout of the coal unloading and storage facility for Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy Chemicals’ 500,000-ton/year coal-based ethanol project, which was contracted out to Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., was held in Xi’an. At the meeting, the project team provided an overview of aspects such as the process flow, the layout of major buildings and structures, the arrangement of equipment (including complete sets of equipment), the route of main pipelines, electrical control, and occupational health. In-depth discussions were held on the above aspects to achieve reasonable optimization, and comprehensive and detailed answers were provided to the questions of the owners. Through this layout review, a foundation was laid for the foundation construction of approximately 20 individual buildings and structures within this facility, as well as for equipment procurement. Next, the project team will further optimize and refine the design to ensure the smooth progress of the project. In 2020, Yushen Energy & Chemical will make every effort to advance the construction of the ethanol project by focusing on three \"completions\", two \"50% targets\" and one \"start“. The three \"completions\" refer to completing the annual investment of 1.18 billion yuan in the project, finalizing the EPC contract for the ethanol project, and completing the procurement of long-term-use equipment ； The two “50%” refer to completing 50% of the detailed design and 50% of the civil construction work ； A “Start” means beginning the device installation. On July 13, construction of the project’s power station began in full swing. On July 8, construction began on the first pouring pile of the carbonylation framework, which is the core component of the project’s ethanol plant, marking the full start of civil work for the ethanol plant. On June 27th and 28th, construction began on the plant’s main substation as well as the building structures throughout the facility. On June 12, the construction of the ethanol finished product tank area and Pump Station (1) for Bid Section 1 commenced, marking the official start of the project. On June 2, the signing ceremony for the EPC general contract of Yushen Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd. of Yanjiang Petroleum’s 500,000 tons per year coal-based ethanol project was held in Xi’an. Li Junlin, executive director of Yushen Nenghua Company, signed EPC general contract agreements for the ethanol project with Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Company and Aerospace Changzheng Engineering Company respectively. Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shaanxi Construction Group, won two bidding lots worth a total of 3.78 billion yuan. The EPC general contracting for Bid Sections 1 and 2 of this project covers the auxiliary equipment and plant-wide system projects, as well as the process equipment and water treatment systems. 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. The project uses 2 2,000-ton-class space furnaces. The 500,000 tons per year coal-based ethanol project of Yanchang Petroleum in Yushen utilizes the dimethyl ether carbonylation technology for ethanol production, which was developed jointly by Yanchang Petroleum and the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to produce 500,000 tons of ethanol annually. The project requires an investment of 6.98 billion yuan; it is located in the South Area of Qingshui Industrial Park, Yushen Industrial Park, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of 1,365 mu. Completion is scheduled for mid-2021, with full operation and compliance with standards to be achieved by 2022. The construction scope includes a methanol complex (devices such as coal unloading and storage, gasification unit, shift converter unit, purification unit, gas separation unit, methanol production unit, and sulfur treatment unit), an ethanol plant (units such as dimethyl ether production, carbonylation, hydrogenation, separation, compression, heating furnaces, and refrigeration stations), as well as new construction for utility systems and auxiliary facilities, with a designed capacity to convert 1.22 million tons of coal per year.
