Latest Progress on the Coal-to-Ethanol Project of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy Chemicals – Author/Source: Huahua Network, Coal Chemical Industry – Date: 2020-08-25 – Clicks: 10. Recently, a meeting was held to advance the construction of the 110 kV main substation for Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yushen Energy Chemicals’ 500,000 tons per year coal-based ethanol project, which is under the general contracting of Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. The meeting saw detailed plans laid out for the on-site design and construction work of this project. At the meeting, the main substation project team presented the power supply plan for the entire plant, providing detailed information on the current design capacity of the main substation, its future development capabilities, the overall layout of the substation, the key milestones in its construction, the timing at which it will be ready to receive power, as well as the current progress regarding the design, procurement, and construction of the substation. At the same time, discussions were held with the representatives from the local power company to outline the project requirements. Yushen Nenghua Company put forward specific requirements regarding the progress of the external wiring design and the main substation design, and requested that the two companies work together closely to ensure that the project progress meets the overall project deadlines. At present, the architectural drawings, structural drawings, plumbing and drainage drawings, telecommunication conduit drawings, and building electrical drawings for each building in the total transformation project have been delivered to the site, and design briefing meetings have been held involving the structural, electrical, and telecommunication teams. The construction of each building is also proceeding in accordance with the schedule; work on formwork for the first floor slab of the 35kV substation has already begun. The other buildings have completed the construction of their foundations and ground beams, and work on reinforcing the beams and columns has started gradually. The design, procurement, and construction activities carried out by the main substation project team met the requirements of the third-level schedule, enabling all tasks to proceed smoothly. This laid a solid foundation for ensuring that the main substation was ready to receive power on time and could be delivered as scheduled. In 2020, Yushen Energy & Chemical will make every effort to advance the construction of the ethanol project by focusing on three \"completions\", two \"50% goals\" 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 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 China Aerospace Changzheng Engineering Company respectively. Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shaanxi Construction Group, won two bidding packages worth a total of 3.78 billion yuan. The EPC general contracting for packages 1 and 2 of this project involves public auxiliary equipment and plant-wide system engineering, as well as process equipment and water treatment systems, respectively. 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 generate 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 (units such as coal unloading and storage, gasification unit, shift converter unit, purification unit, gas separation unit, methanol production unit, sulfur treatment unit, etc.), an ethanol plant (units such as dimethyl ether production, carbonylation, hydrogenation, separation, compression, heating furnaces, refrigeration stations, etc.), as well as new construction for utility systems and auxiliary facilities; the design capacity is 1.22 million tons of coal to be converted per year.
