[Haichuan Chemical News] Foundation-laying ceremony for Xinjiang Zhongtai Group’s 500,000-ton per year polyester production project in Korla

Xinjiang Kuerle, March 29 – On the morning of the 29th, the groundbreaking ceremony for Xinjiang Zhongtai Group’s polyester production project with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons was held at the Kuerle Petroleum and Petrochemical Industrial Park. The project requires an investment of around 3.4 billion yuan (in RMB, the same below). Once operational, it is expected to generate annual sales revenue of 3.76 billion yuan and value-added tax revenues of over 57 million yuan. This project is a key initiative for achieving coordinated development between the petroleum and petrochemical industry and the textile and apparel industry. It is jointly funded and constructed by Xinjiang Zhongtai Group and Zhejiang Zhengkai Group, and has been listed as a key project in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Completion and operation are scheduled for the end of 2021. The project includes an annual production capacity of 250,000 tons of filaments and 250,000 tons of short fibers, which can directly create employment for over 600 people, and further support employment in related industries such as weaving and printing, creating jobs for more than 50,000 people. Wang Hongxin, Party Secretary and Chairman of Xinjiang Zhongtai Group, said that this project is crucial for advancing the textile and apparel industry from cotton spinning to chemical fiber spinning and cotton-fiber blends, thereby achieving diversity in textile and apparel fabrics. “Once completed, this project will help accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the textile and apparel industry in southern Xinjiang, enable the employment of additional labor force, ensure that raw materials are supplied locally, that products are consumed within the region, and that the industry brings benefits to the local area. It will also help fill the gap in Xinjiang’s chemical fiber industry, fostering a large-scale textile industry based on cotton spinning, viscose spinning, and blended fibers, thereby assisting Xinjiang in evolving from a region known for cotton production to a region leading in the textile sector. ”Wang Hongxin said. It is reported that of the four new projects planned by Xinjiang Zhongtai Group in 2020, three were implemented in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, with a total investment of 7.5 billion yuan; all of them were listed as key projects in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. As one of them, this project was the first to break ground. (Source: China News Service Xinjiang, Responsible Party)

On the afternoon of October 26, an expert review meeting on the feasibility of China-Thailand Group’s project to produce 500,000 tons per year of differentiated functional fibers as part of its first phase of production with an annual capacity of 1.5 million tons of polyester was held in Beijing. For this evaluation meeting, experts from 9 organizations were invited to serve as reviewers: the China National Textile and Apparel Industry Council, the China Filament Weaving Association, the Polyester and Polyamide Branch of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, Beijing Zhongli Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd., the China Textile Construction Planning Institute, the former Qilu Chemical Fiber Group, Jiangsu Shenghong Group, Shanghai Juyou Chemical Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Lianfa Textile Co., Ltd. China Kunlun Engineering Company provided a detailed report on the project status. The Secretary of the Party Working Committee, Director of the Management Committee of the Shangku Comprehensive Industrial Park in Korla, Deputy Director of the Oil and Land Project R&D Center in Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Zhongtai Group, as well as representatives from relevant departments such as Zhongtai Petrochemical, the Department of Science and Technology Development, the Textiles Division, and the Innovation Research Institute attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by the deputy chief accountant of Zhongtai Group. The chief process engineer of China Kunlun Engineering Company presented to the experts present the Feasibility Study Report for the first phase of the project undertaken by Xinjiang Zhongtai (Group) Co., Ltd., which involves the production of 500,000 tons per year of differentiated functional fibers. He provided a detailed overview of the project’s background, market analysis, supply of raw materials and auxiliary substances, scale of construction and product specifications, process equipment, overall layout and transportation as well as civil engineering aspects, in addition to utility systems and auxiliary facilities. The evaluation experts offered their views from various perspectives on aspects such as the scale of construction, product solutions, risk analysis, equipment selection, and market prospects for the products, providing valuable suggestions and recommendations.

Following the review, the expert panel reached a final conclusion: the polyester project utilizes its own PTA and ethylene glycol produced within the region as raw materials, takes advantage of the supporting facilities and utility services available in the industrial park, integrates energy use efficiently, enables deep processing to be carried out locally, extends the industrial chain, increases the added value of products, and enhances market competitiveness – all of which are in line with the development trends of the polyester industry chain. At the same time, the expert group stated that the key to using polyester projects to connect China and Thailand’s \"refining, chemical processing, and textile\" industrial chains lies in the precise positioning of product solutions. The product proposal outlined in the feasibility study report is generally viable. It is recommended that for the polyester filament product plan, further optimization and improvement be carried out after determining the appropriate downstream weaving and printing processes. It is also essential to advocate for a strategy of \"providing support first before encouraging self-sufficiency\", to adopt a tailored approach for each enterprise, and to offer favorable policy support in order to create a solid foundation for the development of the market for textile and fiber-based final products, thus facilitating the successful implementation of polyester-related projects.
