At the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in northwestern China, the world’s largest coal-based polypropylene production project – the Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group Coal-Based Olefins Project – is expected to begin operations next year. This was revealed by Yao Min, general manager of the Coal Chemicals Branch of Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group, at the first \"China·Ningxia Energy Development Strategy Summit Forum\" held here. The coal-based olefins project commenced operations at the end of 2005, with a total investment of around 17 billion yuan. Its designed capacity is 520,000 tons per year of polypropylene, while it also produces 184,800 tons of gasoline, 41,200 tons of liquid fuel, and 13,800 tons of sulfur per year. “To date, a total of 10.004 billion yuan has been invested in coal-based olefin projects. ”Yao Min said that aside from the core unit—the gasification unit—the design work for the other units and the procurement of bulk materials have been completed. The lifting of large-scale equipment is proceeding in an orderly manner; the fabrication, installation of steel structures, and the prefabrication of pipelines are all in full swing. The utility systems are being completed mechanically one after another and have entered the stage of individual unit testing. It is reported that the coal-based olefins project is now being accelerated using a reverse construction approach; the first boiler is scheduled to be ignited for gas production by the end of July, the methanol-to-propylene unit is set to begin trial operation in April next year, and the gasification unit is scheduled to start trial operation in July. It is understood that the core unit of this coal-based olefins project, the gasification unit, utilizes Germany’s Siemens GSP patented dry coal powder gasification technology. . Note $ # , $ $
It’s not clear whether this coal-based olefins project uses the DMTO technology developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, or some other technology
The core technology should be Luqi’s MTP technology
Why is the methanol-to-propylene unit downstream started first, while the gasification unit upstream is started later? Should the owner prepare a large amount of methanol first?
It’s likely the Datang Dolun project will be operational soon; vehicles will be able to use it next year. It’s impossible for the Ningxia Coal project to become operational next year, as it will be at least two years later than the Datang Dolun project.
Go, Shenhua! China’s coal-to-olefins projects all place their hopes on Shenhua. The multiple projects carried out by Datang utilized Luqi’s laboratory technologies, and the risks involved were relatively high; I hope everything goes well
At least that is Ningxia Coal’s plan: to start up the MTP unit first next year, with raw materials supplied by the existing 250,000-ton methanol plant and the 600,000-ton methanol plant under construction (the amount available will still not be sufficient, so it seems operation at reduced capacity will be necessary). Gasification and methanol production will be started up by the end of next year, thereby enabling full operation of the entire facility. This reverse driving scheme was implemented because of some setbacks in the initial operations of the GSP furnace, which prolonged the entire construction period. As for whether this plan can be completed on schedule, only Ningmei itself knows, hehe!
9# Fandian is indeed the case; the GSP gasifier has an impact on the Ningmei MTP process. Regarding the three coal-to-olefins projects in China, based on the current progress, Datang’s MTP project is the fastest to make progress, followed by Ningmei’s MTP project and Shenhua Baotou’s DMTO project.
What was said on the 10th floor is more practical; Great Tang is the fastest
Only when stepping out do I see mud on my feet – why the hurry? Everyone, take your time to watch. Driving isn’t about whoever starts the engine first winning; the infrastructure such as underground pipelines is far more important than what’s above ground
