Coordination efforts underway for the new coal-based ethylene glycol production project at Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical. Author/Source: Huahua Network – Coal Chemical Industry. Date: 2020-09-04. Clicks: 7. On August 27, Wang Rui, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhungeer Banner in Ordos City, met with Zhang Jian Gong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Kailuan Group Company, and the two sides held discussions on further advancing the construction of the 400,000-ton/year coal-based ethylene glycol production facility operated by Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd., as well as on deepening cooperation between the local government and the enterprise. Wang Rui said that the Dalu Industrial Park boasts convenient transportation, strong infrastructure, comprehensive public facilities, a concentration of innovative elements, low investment costs, and abundant water and coal resources, giving it unique natural advantages for hosting large-scale projects. Kailuan Group boasts strong capabilities and a good reputation, and it has a solid foundation for cooperation with Jungar Banner. Both sides hope to strengthen their collaboration in areas such as coal chemical industry, coal-based power and aluminum production, and the clean and efficient utilization of coal, in order to work together to ensure **energy security. The Party Committee of Zhunqi Banner and ** will further optimize the business environment for development, and go all out to support the growth of Kailuan Group. Zhang Jian Gong introduced the basic situation of Kailuan Group and the progress of investment project construction in Zhunqi. He said that he would accelerate the project planning process to achieve operation as soon as possible. It is necessary to further strengthen ties with local ** entities, actively explore ways of cooperation with them as well as with local enterprises, carry out in-depth collaborations, and accelerate the development and implementation of cooperative projects in order to contribute to the high-quality economic development of Zhungeer. The 400,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol production project of Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Dong Industrial Park of Dalu New Area, Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The investment required for this project is 6.644 billion yuan, with a construction period of 3 years ； The project utilizes the water-cooled wall waste boiler gasifier technology (Jinhua Furnace 3.0) developed by Beijing Qingchuang Jinhua Technology Co., Ltd. Co-Mo wide-temperature sulfur-resistant partial conversion is employed to ensure that the ratio of H2 to CO meets the requirements for producing ethylene glycol; desulfurization and decarburization are carried out using low-temperature methanol washing, while the separation of H2 and CO is achieved through deep cryogenic separation ； H2 concentration is achieved using the PSA process; subsequently, dimethyl oxalate is produced through methanol carbonylation, and ethylene glycol is obtained by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate. The gasification pressure of the Jinhua furnace is 4.5 MPaG, with an effective gas output per furnace of 64,000 Nm3/h (CO+H2). The gasification unit is designed as a dual-unit setup without a backup unit, and the engineering design was carried out by China Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd. The main production units of Inner Mongolia Kailuan Chemical’s 400,000 tons/year coal-based ethylene glycol project include: gasification, purification, H2/CO separation, dimethyl oxalate production (including cryogenic separation and H2 pressure swing adsorption), ethylene glycol production, air separation, boilers, and utility systems. The consortium formed by Donghua Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. and China State Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. won the bid in mid-May 2019 for the EPC contract related to the project design and construction; the estimated total value of the contract was 5.189 billion yuan. The scope of the EPC work included the main production facilities, utility systems and auxiliary production equipment, other engineering works, service-related tasks, as well as technical services.
