Author/Source: China National Chemical Corporation No. 9; Date: May 27, 2022; Clicks: 16. On May 24, the flare facility for Shaanxi Coal Group’s Yulin Chemical plant’s 1.8 million tons per year ethylene glycol production project was successfully ignited and brought online. The Yulin Chemical Project of Shaanxi Coal Group is a **key construction project. The torch tower of this project is 150 meters tall and weighs 904 tons; its weight and height rank among the highest in China, making it the iconic structure of this project. During the construction process, the project team actively overcame difficulties such as a tight schedule and delayed delivery of equipment. It made full use of Jiuhua Construction’s spirit of \"being particularly resilient in the face of hardships, highly combative, and dedicated to serving others.\" Responsibilities were assigned at various levels to ensure proper oversight, and detailed measures were put in place for safety, quality, and environmental protection, thereby creating a coordinated and efficient system within the construction management process. With the close cooperation of all departments, the construction of the torch facilities was completed efficiently and to a high standard, earning recognition from the client. The successful completion of the Torch Facility project indicates that the overall construction objectives for this facility have been fulfilled, thereby laying a solid foundation for the subsequent development of the Shaanxi Coal Chemical Industry Base project. 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 arenes.
