Regarding the extension of the group’s MTO project

A long time ago, I heard that Shaanxi Yanchang Group was planning to launch an MTO project; recently I saw reports stating that they have already hired supervisors for this project, which indicates that it’s coming soon. MTO is one of the most promising development directions in the coal chemical industry/methanol sector; I’m quite interested in it. Is there anyone among those who are familiar with this topic who can provide us with information on this project and its progress? Thank you so much! Excerpt from the report: “Shaanxi Bidding Co., Ltd., commissioned by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co., Ltd., is conducting a public domestic bidding process for the construction supervision project of the Jingbian Energy, Chemicals and Comprehensive Utilization Industrial Park…………Section B: 1.5 million tons per year DCC production facility and the separation system resulting from the integration of DCC and MTO…………” Note: $ # $ $
I heard that domestic MTO technology is being used; I wonder how far the development has progressed How are DCC and MTO matched? There is hardly any information disclosed on the Yanchang Group’s website. Is there no expert here who is informed? No way
It has not yet been decided which company will be used for the MTO technology, but the design scheme and the manufacturer for the separation system have already been determined. In particular, the integrated separation process for DCC and MTO should be designed by SEI..............................
SEI is responsible for the design, so whose process package is used for the separation system? Additionally, I heard that the MTO reaction part seems to have been assigned to the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics; I’m not sure if this is accurate.
The MTO reaction section has already signed a contract with the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, opting for the DMTO process. The DCC separation process is selected between SW and SEI. The MTO separation process is selected among LUMMUS, SW, Shanghai Huisheng, SEI, and LPEC. But technical quotations have not yet been started.

Is the MTO process better handled by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics or by UOP?
UOP currently promotes the advanced UOP/Hydro MTO process, which is an MTO process that produces large amounts of propylene and incorporates a reprocessing mechanism for C4–C8 hydrocarbons; as a result, the overall yield of olefins is at least 85%. This process requires high-quality catalysts. The technology developed by the Da Hua Research Institute is as described in the reports, and there’s no clear distinction between it and other technologies – the technical specifications of pure MTO processes are more or less similar. However, UOP’s licensing fees are extremely high, so it’s better to support the development of domestic technologies such as DMTO and S-MTO; these are all excellent technologies that should be adopted whenever possible.
I heard that PMC contractors were also hired; I wonder who won the bid?
It’s from MTO’s domestic Daka plant; separation was originally planned to use foreign equipment, but now it’s being done by **.

Those who study petrochemical engineering – DCC refers to catalytic cracking in the petrochemical industry; I’m not sure what kind of process this is here Beginner level, don’t laugh.
