Construction of the reaction dam for Ningxia Baofeng Energy’s 500,000 t/a coal-based olefins LDPE/EVA plant begins – Author/Source: Coal Chemicals Journal, Date: 2022-02-15, Clicks: 2. On February 14, the inauguration ceremony for the reaction dam project of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd.’s 500,000 t/a coal-based olefins LDPE/EVA plant was held. It is reported that the reaction dam project is one of the sub-projects of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd.’s 500,000 t/a coal-based olefins LDPE/EVA plant. The main construction tasks for the project include: 3,500 m3 of earthwork, 8,000 m3 of concrete pouring. The concrete shear walls are 21.45 m high, 81 m long, and 25 m wide; they consist of 4 floors with a total building area of 2,383 m2. As a key project of the EVA unit in the 500,000 t/a coal-to-olefins project, the timely commencement of this project is of great significance for meeting the final scheduled milestones for the unit. Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. has invested 12.97 billion yuan in the 500,000 t/a coal-to-olefins project, with the construction site located in Area A of the Baofeng Energy Circular Industrial Park within the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. The project mainly involves the construction of a 1.5 million t/a coal gasification to methanol plant, a 500,000 t/a methanol to olefins plant, a 250,000 t/a ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer plant, a 300,000 t/a polypropylene plant, as well as supporting utility systems and auxiliary facilities. Once the project is completed and put into operation, its annual comprehensive energy consumption will be approximately 2.2274 million tons of standard coal (equivalent value), which is equivalent to 2.4003 million tons of standard coal. For the coal-to-olefins (ethylene and propylene) project, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of product shall not exceed 2,257 kg of standard coal per ton.
