Successful Production of Crude DMO in Shanxi Meijin’s Project for Producing 300,000 Tons/Year of Ethylene Glycol along with LNG from Comprehensive Exhaust Gas Treatment Author/Source: Huahua Network – Coal Chemical Industry Date: February 26, 2022 Clicks: 33 On the morning of February 23, the project led by Donghua Technology for producing 300,000 tons/year of ethylene glycol along with LNG from comprehensive exhaust gas treatment at Shanxi Meijin achieved successful production of crude DMO in one go. This marks a significant milestone in the project’s development, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent production of high-quality ethylene glycol suitable for use in polyester manufacturing. The Shanxi Meijin project was successfully commissioned on December 16, 2021. To ensure its successful operation and stable performance, all members of the project team worked overtime to carry out tasks such as joint debugging, catalyst reduction, and safety inspections prior to commissioning. Overcoming numerous difficulties, they completed all the preparations needed for commissioning before the Spring Festival, thus ensuring smooth operation of the plant after the holiday. The Shanxi Meijin Huasheng Comprehensive Exhaust Gas Utilization Project for the Production of 300,000 tons of ethylene glycol along with LNG is part of a 4-million-ton coking and related facilities project developed by Shanxi Meijin Energy Co., Ltd. in the Qingxu County Economic Development Zone in Taiyuan. Located within the Fine Chemicals Circular Industry Park in Qingxu County, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, this project takes advantage of the hydrogen-rich nature of coke oven gas, as well as the carbon-rich characteristics of blast furnace gas and converter gas; by combining these three types of gas, it produces high-value chemicals. Adhering to the new concept of integrating coking, metallurgy, and chemical industries, the project aims to achieve efficient operation with low energy consumption, thereby fostering a harmonious development between coking and modern coal chemical industries and producing high-tech, high-value fine coal chemical products. The main construction components of the project include coke oven gas/converter gas/blast furnace gas purification units, H2/CO separation units, dimethyl oxalate production units, ethylene glycol production units, plant-wide storage and transportation systems, air separation units, as well as other auxiliary and supporting systems.
