On June 25-26, Tianchen Company organized the client, suppliers, manufacturers of the components used in the towers, companies specializing in large-scale transportation, as well as the three-party supervision team to hold kick-off meetings for the construction of these oversized low-temperature steel towers at Hailu Heavy Industry and Zhanghua Machinery. During the meeting, the equipment and procurement teams communicated with various parties on issues such as design, manufacturing, timeline, inspection, and transportation, achieving good results. A meeting minutes regarding the meeting was prepared afterward. The holding of this kick-off meeting helped to build consensus among all parties, addressed relevant issues promptly, removed obstacles and provided guidance for the subsequent arrangements and processes related to the project’s commencement, thus laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of the project. The Huayi Qinzhou Chemical New Materials Integration Base is located in the Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park, covering an area of about 8,000 mu, with a total investment of around 70 billion yuan. It will be developed in three phases. Among them, the first-phase industrial gas island project, with a total investment of around 14.3 billion yuan, is part of the coal chemical industry chain. Construction began in November 2017; it aims to produce industrial gases such as hydrogen, syngas, and nitrogen for use by enterprises within the park, as well as chemical products like methanol, ethylene glycol, and acetic acid. Completion and operation are expected by 2020. The second-phase light hydrocarbon cracking and comprehensive utilization project has a total investment of 20.8 billion yuan. It focuses on ethane cracking and propane dehydrogenation as its core processes, producing products such as polyethylene, ethylene glycol, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), acrylic acids and esters, polyether polyols, caustic soda, and polyvinyl chloride. Currently, both parties are intensively carrying out preliminary tasks such as feasibility studies, environmental impact assessments, safety evaluations, stability assessments, and energy efficiency evaluations, with the goal of starting construction by the end of October 2019. The third-phase methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing project, with a total investment of around 18.3 billion yuan, will produce products such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, caustic soda, and polyvinyl chloride; construction is expected to begin in 2025.
