Date: 2022-03-01. Clicks: 11. At 10:18 on February 24th, the inauguration ceremony for the pile foundation construction of the gasification unit in this project, which is under the general contracting of Donghua Technology, was held successfully. Donghua Technology, along with all the participating units, attended this groundbreaking ceremony. The gasification unit is a key component of the methanol comprehensive utilization project. The successful commencement of the pile foundation work for this gasification unit provides valuable time for the subsequent civil engineering and installation works, laying a solid foundation for the orderly progress 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; a gasification unit is employed 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 installation includes the gasification unit, purification unit, gas separation unit, ethanol production unit, as well as various supporting utilities 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. Once completed, it will become the world’s largest ethanol facility. Bid 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. Bid amount: 1,377,202,109 yuan. Bid 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 overall plant processes and utility systems, external pipelines, a gasification unit, a purification unit, gas separation units, liquid storage and transportation systems, as well as various auxiliary engineering works (other than those mentioned in Bid Section 1).
