Chongqing Coal Chemical Project
Thread Content
On July 26, the 200,000-ton acetic acid production project, funded and constructed by Dongfang Hope Group, broke ground in Wansheng, Chongqing. This marks a significant step forward in the development of the Chongqing (Wansheng) coal-electricity-chemicals complex toward its operational capacity by 2010, as well as a new expansion of Dongfang Hope’s heavy chemical industry chain in Chongqing. Chongqing Wansheng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dongfang Hope, and its 200,000-ton acetic acid project is the inaugural project of the Chongqing (Wansheng) Coal, Electricity, and Chemicals Industrial Base as well as a major project in Chongqing this year. The project is located in Shuangba Village, Guanba Town, Wansheng District, covering an area of 500 mu. In the production of chemical products, this project will employ advanced technologies such as clean gasification, sulfur-resistant shift reaction, desulfurization and decarbonization purification, and sulfur recovery, to ensure that few or no by-products or waste are generated during the production process, thereby achieving or approaching \"zero emissions\". Upon completion, the project will have an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of methanol and 200,000 tons of acetic acid. Huang Qifan, Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, congratulated on the commencement of the acetic acid project at the opening ceremony. He said that the launch of the Wansheng coal, electricity, and chemical industry base as well as the 200,000-ton acetic acid production project will help accelerate the development of new industrial growth areas in Chongqing, enhance the city’s energy security from a strategic perspective, and enable it to form a chemical industry hub in Southwest China and even across the whole country, alongside the Changshou Chemical Park, Fuling Chemical Park, and Wanzhou Chemical Park. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Chairman Liu Yongxing made a solemn commitment: we will make every effort to accelerate the construction of this project, and using it as a foundation, we will continue to increase our investments in heavy chemical industry projects in Chongqing, so as to make greater contributions to the development and construction of the city. **Xiang**, Secretary of the Wansheng District Party Committee, Wang Yue, Secretary of the Qijiang County Party Committee, Hou Xingzhi, Chairman of the Chongqing Energy Investment Group, Wang Ping, Deputy Director of the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission and Deputy Commander of the Project Command Center of the Chongqing (Wansheng) Coal Chemical Industry Development Leadership Group, Wang Yuxiang, Deputy Director of the Chongqing Economic Commission and also Deputy Commander of the Project Command Center of the Chongqing (Wansheng) Coal Chemical Industry Development Leadership Group, Wang Yongshu, General Manager of the Chongqing Transportation and Tourism Group, Zhang Lizhou, General Manager of the Chongqing Water Investment Group, and Xu Changjun, Chairman of Chongqing Wansheng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., were among those who attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Xiang Tao, Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee and District Head, presided over the ceremony. Acetic acid is one of the important organic chemical raw materials, mainly used in the production of vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, acetates, chloroacetic acid, and acetates. Another important use is as a solvent in PTA production. Acetic acid can be widely used in industries such as chemicals, light industry, textiles, pharmaceuticals, printing and dyeing, rubber, pesticides, photography, medicine, electronics, and food, with hundreds of derivatives available. Chongqing Wansheng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is a large-scale coal chemical project built entirely by the Dongfang Hope Group. It marks the beginning of the coal, electricity, and chemicals industry base in Chongqing (Wansheng), and was one of the top 10 key projects in Chongqing in 2008. The project is located in Guanba Town, Wansheng District, Chongqing, covering an area of 500 mu. It is planned to produce 300,000 tons of methanol per year, 200,000 tons of acetic acid per year, and 5,580 tons of sulfur as a by-product per year ； A range of advanced and reliable production process technologies are employed, including clean coal gasification using water-coal slurry, desulfurization and decarbonization purification via low-temperature methanol washing, sulfur recovery, methanol synthesis and distillation, and acetic acid synthesis. The project has received **approval**, and the foundation was laid in July 2008.
Great information. Thank you to LZ for sharing it. Nowadays, only large enterprises dare to launch coal chemical projects during crises, seeking development in such times
In Shell’s coal chemical processing technologies, the high-temperature ceramic filters used in production often encounter problems such as breaking, clogging, and difficulties in backwashing, which severely impact production and result in wasted procurement costs. Chengdu Yitai Technology’s YT series of iron-aluminum intermetallic filter tubes are patented products with 11 patents; they can perform filtration at high temperatures of 800–1000 degrees. By reducing the need for complex cooling systems, these filters improve the purity of coal gas, thereby generating significant economic benefits for enterprises. They are suitable for filtering liquid and gas containing titanium tetrachloride/hafnium/zirconium in titanium sponge factories, for IGCC power generation, for purifying blast furnace gas in steel plants using dry TRT systems, as well as for filtering high-temperature and high-pressure gases in various coal chemical industries (such as those producing ammonia and methanol).

Okay, not bad. Thank you to the original poster for the upload.
It is reported that **richman Li Ka-shing has become a key target for Chongqing in terms of attracting investment; his company, China Gas Limited, intends to invest 3 billion yuan in the city to establish a fuel production facility. An intent agreement was signed with Wansheng District. It is understood that China Gas is the **largest gas supplier; it was founded in 1862 and is a company owned by real estate tycoon and \"Asia’s Warren Buffett\" Li Ka-shing. On Forbes’ 2008 list of the **top 10 richest people**, Li Ka-shing ranked third with a net worth of 179.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. An official from the Coal and Electricity Office in Wansheng District revealed that China Gas has recently signed an investment intention agreement with the district, intending to invest 3 billion yuan to build a production facility for 400,000 tons of dimethyl ether. “We are actively in talks with the investors in an effort to finalize a formal agreement.” ”It is reported that dimethyl ether is a colorless gas that can be used as a fuel alternative to diesel, and due to high demand, there is a significant supply gap in the domestic market. At an estimated cost of 4,000 yuan per ton of dimethyl ether, China Gas’ project will be able to generate annual sales revenue of over 1 billion yuan once it is put into operation. Based in Chongqing to expand into the southwestern market, regarding why Wansheng was chosen as the location, a staff member from the Wansheng District Investment Promotion Bureau said that it is mainly because dimethyl ether is a coal chemical product, with coal serving as the raw material for its production. Wansheng has coal reserves of nearly 2.5 billion tons, and low labor costs can help reduce the production costs for investors ； Furthermore, once China Gas’ project is operational, Chongqing can be used as a strategic base to enter the southwest market. It is said that in addition to replacing fuels such as diesel, dimethyl ether can also be used as a cooking fuel. According to surveys conducted in Wansheng District, by 2010, the catering industry alone in Chongqing was capable of \"processing\" 156,000 tons of dimethyl ether.
Really! The future will belong to the coal chemical industry.
What great news. After working in Ningxia for a few years, one would go to work at a chemical plant. I hope there will be more updates on this matter
It seems that it’s still easier for men to find jobs in the coal chemical industry. In our school, almost all the men have found jobs, while there are no opportunities available for women. I really chose the wrong major :'(
It’s pretty good,,,
