Total investment of 9.83 billion yuan! With the DMTO-Ⅲ technology in place, the 800,000-ton per year olefins project of Rongxin Chemical is progressing at an accelerated pace. On August 31, Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical Co., Ltd. held a meeting to advance this project, urging all participating units to aim for the goal of producing products by the end of 2026. By focusing on key milestones, these units worked together to align their thoughts and reach a consensus, thereby striving to ensure that the project is built to high standards and with high quality. Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical is accelerating the implementation of its olefins production project, which has a total investment of 9.83 billion yuan and an annual output capacity of 800,000 tons. The meeting called for the thorough implementation of a safety management system, the designation of a “primary person responsible for safety,” strict screening of construction workers to ensure they meet all qualification requirements, enhanced control over details related to special operations such as hot work and working at heights. It also emphasized the importance of regular safety supervision and management, with the aim of fostering a workplace culture where everyone prioritizes safety. It is necessary to strictly implement the quality control system, strengthen the development of the technical team, clarify the responsibilities of personnel in key positions such as welding, continuously raise work and management standards, earnestly enforce inspection mechanisms, strictly control the entry of raw materials, and adopt a \"zero-tolerance\" approach to ensure that every quality checkpoint is met, thereby guaranteeing a 100% qualification rate for project quality. It is necessary to strictly oversee project progress, enhance a sense of responsibility; the key personnel should take personal charge and provide direct supervision, continuously monitor the progress of drawing preparation, improve coordination in design work, formulate scientific construction plans, adopt a problem-oriented approach, go to the site to address practical issues, improve work efficiency, and focus on accelerating the progress of project construction. Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical Co., Ltd. is a coal conversion enterprise under Shandong Energy Group. It established itself in the Dalaat Economic Development Zone in 2009; to date, more than 13 billion yuan has been invested there, and the first-phase project for producing 900,000 tons per year of methanol from coal, as well as the second-phase project for producing 400,000 tons per year of ethylene glycol from coal, have been completed and put into operation. The annual 800,000-ton olefin production project of Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical Co., Ltd. involves a total investment of 9.83 billion yuan and covers an area of 1,887 mu. It mainly includes the construction of an 800,000-ton/year methanol-to-olefins plant, a 400,000-ton/year polyethylene plant, a 400,000-ton/year polypropylene plant, a 15,000-ton/year 1-butene plant, as well as associated auxiliary facilities. Using methanol as the raw material, the project employs the industry-leading DMTO third-generation technology developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which significantly improves the conversion rate of the raw material. It reduces the methanol consumption per ton of olefins to 2.66 tons per ton, thereby greatly lowering the production cost per unit of product and enhancing market competitiveness. At the same time, the use of the slurry process for the production of high-density polyethylene, along with the new generation of loop reactor technology for polypropylene production, has laid a solid foundation for development in the directions of higher quality, greater diversity, and lower carbon emissions. Next, Inner Mongolia Rongxin Chemical Co., Ltd. will rely on the super-large-scale water-coal slurry gasification platform and take the expansion of the methanol and dimethyl oxalate industry chains as its main focus. It plans to invest in the production of high-end chemical materials such as POE, polybutylene, PDO, and biodegradable plastics, aiming to raise the production capacity of chemical products to over 4 million tons. The company also aims to expand and upgrade the industry chain involving methanol, olefins, and high-end materials, transforming regional resource advantages into industrial and economic advantages. This will facilitate the development of the coal chemical industry in terms of higher quality, greater diversity, and lower carbon emissions, thereby creating large-scale industrial clusters. The goal is to establish a leading domestic demonstration base for coal-based chemical materials as well as an industry base for the clean and efficient use of energy.
