The launch ceremony for the “80-day campaign” to complete the construction of this demonstration project was officially held on April 11. At the launch ceremony, the deputy manager of the coal pyrolysis project department explained the details of the event in detail ； The project manager of the general contractor, Shengbang Technology Co., Ltd., and representatives of various construction subcontractors delivered statements respectively. More than 200 people attended the ceremony, including managers from the coal powder pyrolysis project department, representatives from Beijing Huaxia Petrochemical Engineering Supervision Co., Ltd., Shengbang Technology Co., Ltd., and various subcontractors. The 15 million tons per year demonstration project for the clean and efficient conversion of coal into various products, operated by Shaanxi Coal Group Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd., is located in the Qingshui Coal Chemistry Industrial Park within the Yulin Yushen Industrial Park. The investment in this project amounts to 26.2 billion yuan, and it will be constructed in two phases and four stages. Phase 1 of the project is divided into two stages: Stage 1 involves the construction of an ethylene glycol plant with an annual production capacity of 1.8 million tons. The site area for this phase is approximately 4.4 million square meters, and the total investment required is around 26.5 billion yuan. It is currently the largest coal-based ethylene glycol production facility under construction in the world. In the second phase, projects for the production of 5.6 million tons per year of methanol, 2 million tons per year of olefins, and related deep-processing facilities will be constructed. Phase II of the project focuses on coal pyrolysis and is also divided into two stages. The first stage involves an industrial demonstration facility for the pyrolysis of 1.2 million tons per year of pulverized coal and the deep processing of 500,000 tons per year of coal tar. In the second stage, the scale of pyrolysis is increased to 15 million tons, and the coal tar industry chain is expanded to produce downstream products derived from aromatics and arylenes.
