On November 14, a summary meeting on the assessment of the low-temperature heat-coupled methanol distillation technology was held at Henan Longyu Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Longyu Coal Chemical”). Wang Xiujiang, deputy director of the Science, Technology and Equipment Department of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, attended the assessment meeting. Xie Feidong, the main person in charge of Longyu Coal Chemical Industry, its general manager, deputy secretary of the Party committee, and vice chairman; Li Shiyu, a professor at Tianjin University; and Song Bingtang, general manager of Tianjin Huasail Heat Transfer Equipment Co., Ltd., the company responsible for the project, attended the meeting. Through a 72-hour continuous operation test using the apparatus, the expert group concluded that the low-temperature heat-coupled methanol distillation technology operates smoothly and reliably; the steam consumption per ton of methanol is reduced to below 0.2 tons, and a new high-purity methanol product is produced, achieving excellent results. Wang Xiujiang pointed out that the low-temperature heat-coupled methanol distillation technology is highly innovative. Longyu Coal Chemical has taken the lead in experimenting with this technology and making breakthroughs, achieving significant results. He hopes that the company will continue to rely on innovation as a driving force, intensify efforts in technological research, fully utilize the potential of its facilities, and thus promote high-quality development for the enterprise. Xie Feidong said that in the next step, the company will focus on high-end, green, and low-carbon development, concentrating on the research, development, and application of new technologies, new processes, and new equipment, in order to continuously enhance the quality, innovation level, and environmental friendliness of its operations. It is understood that the low-temperature heat-coupled methanol distillation technology is a novel type of methanol distillation method that makes use of low-temperature heat; by incorporating this technology, energy consumption is significantly reduced, production costs are lowered effectively, and it helps companies move toward more sustainable development.
