On August 13th, Shaanxi Huajian Equipment Lifting and Transportation Company successfully completed the lifting of the 220-ton absorption tower for the purification unit of Weihé Binzhou Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 300,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol production project. The absorption tower has a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 61 meters. The 300,000 tons per year coal-based ethylene glycol project of Shaanxi Weihe Binzhou Chemical Co., Ltd. consists of thermal power units, gasification units, purification units, and ethylene glycol production units. There are a total of 84 large pieces of equipment in the project, and the lifting is carried out using the company’s 650-ton and 260-ton crawler cranes ； Since starting its lifting operations in October 2018, the lifting company has completed 70% of the equipment lifting tasks as of early August 2019; the lifting of large-scale equipment is scheduled to be finished by the end of September. The total investment for the 300,000-ton coal-based ethylene glycol production project is 5.495 billion yuan. The construction scope includes the main facilities such as gasification units, purification units, and ethylene glycol synthesis units, as well as auxiliary facilities for water supply and drainage, desalination stations, power supply, heating, and fire protection. It also encompasses storage and transportation systems, as well as environmental protection measures such as waste gas treatment, wastewater treatment, and solid waste disposal. Once completed, the project will be capable of producing 300,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year. The by-products include 17,576 tons of crude DMC per year, 5,336 tons of DMO reconstituted fractions per year, 5,920 tons of fusel oil per year, 13,440 tons of light fractions per year, 6,048 tons of heavy ethylene glycol fractions per year, and 4,321.6 tons of sulfur per year.
