Does no one know anything about this project? The development and utilization of Gas are very popular these days, so this project surely has great prospects! What is known for now is that the project is located in the industrial zone of Shouyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, north of Masou Village. It covers an area of 1,920 mu, with a construction area of around 600,000 square meters. The process used involves converting coalbed methane into dimethyl ether through methanol synthesis, resulting in an annual production of 900,000 tons of dimethyl ether. The total investment in the project is 3.9 billion yuan. Construction period: 2008–2010. Main equipment: desulfurization tower, compressor, air separation unit, crude alcohol, dimethyl ether synthesis tower, distillation tower.

The situation is very serious; **when will the issue of mining rights be resolved? :(

It involves different units, so it’s not easy to resolve. China mandates that mineral rights applications adhere to the principle of \"first-to-apply, exclusivity\". Coalbed methane exploration rights are subject to **first-level management, with permits issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources, whereas coal exploration rights are issued by the ministry or relevant provincial departments. Where there are benefits, everyone will try to take them.

This project is good; the main component of coalbed methane is natural gas, that is, it involves the technology for producing methanol from natural gas; The raw material cost for this project is relatively low, giving it great economic value and environmental benefits.

What desulfurizing agent is mainly used in coalbed methane purification? Is the organic sulfur content high? How about coke oven gas? :handshake
