Signing of Contract for CarbonXin Technology Project Author/Source: Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. Date: 2022-02-15 Clicks: 10 On February 13, the signing ceremony for the PC general contract of the ethanol production unit as part of Anhui CarbonXin Technology Co., Ltd.’s methanol comprehensive utilization project was successfully held (the design contract had already been signed earlier). Xu Jiantao, the Party secretary and chairman of the company, attended the signing ceremony and delivered a speech; Yang Li, the assistant to the general manager and head of safety, along with other senior executives from Anhui CarbonXin Technology Co., Ltd., also participated in the ceremony. Xu Jiantao said that the company attaches great importance to this cooperation between the two parties. Upon receiving the award notice, it quickly assembled a project team to get in touch with the client, and once the project commenced, the team went to the site to carry out various tasks. At present, the design, procurement, and construction phases have all been launched, and all conditions are in place to proceed swiftly with the work. The signing of the contract today has injected new momentum into the comprehensive advancement of the project. The 500,000-ton methanol and 600,000-ton ethanol production project undertaken by Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd. is a large-scale investment; it represents a key initiative for Huaibei Mining Group to expand its coal chemical industry chain and develop the fine chemicals sector. The owner of the methanol comprehensive utilization project carried out by Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd. is Huaibei Mining Co., Ltd. The project uses methanol from Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd.’s existing methanol production facility as raw material; it is combined with a powder gasification unit to produce syngas, from which CO and H2 are separated. Through carbonylation and hydrogenation reactions, an ethanol production capacity of 600,000 tons per year is achieved. The project facilities include the gasification unit, purification unit, gas separation unit, ethanol production unit, as well as various supporting infrastructure and auxiliary systems required to carry out the project’s processes. The ethanol production unit of this project utilizes the extended Zhongke DMTE technology; using methanol and syngas as raw materials, it goes through processes such as methanol dehydration, dimethyl ether carbonylation, methyl acetate hydrogenation, and separation, to produce 600,000 tons of ethanol per year. Upon completion, it will become the world’s largest ethanol facility. Section 1: EPC general contracting for the ethanol complex project. The ethanol complex includes a dimethyl ether synthesis unit, a carbonylation unit, hydrogenation and separation units, a compression unit, a heating furnace unit, a refrigeration station, the on-site cabinet room for the ethanol plant, a 35kV substation for the ethanol plant, a catalyst regeneration unit, tanks for initial rainwater and production wastewater, as well as fire protection facilities. Winner of the bid: Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. Section 2: EPC general contracting for the comprehensive utilization project of methanol, covering the works other than those in the ethanol complex. This includes the entire plant’s process and utility systems, external pipelines, a gasification unit, purification units, gas separation units, liquid storage and transportation systems, as well as various auxiliary engineering works (other than those covered in Section 1). Winner of the bid: Donghua Engineering Technology Co., Ltd
