On April 3, the deaerator for the boiler island of Inner Mongolia JiuTai New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene glycol was successfully lifted and placed on the deaeration platform in front of the boiler. This successful installation of the first large-scale auxiliary equipment in the boiler island ensured a safe and smooth process, creating favorable conditions for the rapid progress of subsequent construction work.
The horizontal, built-in deaerator lifted this time is the first large auxiliary equipment installed on the boiler island; it weighs 33.5 tons and is 15.1 meters long, with a total height of 4.64 meters after installation. To ensure the smooth lifting and installation of the deaerator, the project team of Northwest Electric Power Construction strictly adhered to the requirements for safe and standardized construction, developed a scientific, thorough, and detailed installation plan, and provided the construction workers with comprehensive safety and technical instructions. Taking into comprehensive considerations such as volume, weight, and lifting location, the Northwest Power Construction project team adopted a method involving using a 260-ton truck crane to lower the load vertically from above, thereby completing the lifting process safely and efficiently. The successful lifting of the deaerator this time has laid a solid foundation for achieving the unit’s commissioning goal.
Inner Mongolia Joutai New Materials Co., Ltd. was established in March 2017, located in the Tuoketuo Industrial Park of Helingeer New Area, Hohhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia. The company’s total land area is 2,565 mu, with a total investment of 11.7 billion yuan. The construction scale of the company’s first-phase project is an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene glycol. The project utilizes aerospace powder gasification and Shell’s gasification technology, low-temperature methanol washing technology, as well as the world-leading formic acid hydrocarboxylation technology from Davy Company to produce ethylene glycol. The project construction period is 3 years, with trials scheduled for 2020 and full operation to commence in 2021. After going into production, it is possible to achieve annual sales of 10.6 billion yuan and profits and taxes of 3.66 billion yuan.
As of April 1, the 1 million-ton-per-year coal-based ethylene glycol production project at Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials Co., Ltd. had 2,035 workers back at work; 19 companies were involved in this resumption of operations, with 241 management staff and 1,776 construction workers. There is an ample supply of epidemic prevention supplies on site, and various types of equipment are arriving one after another, allowing the construction work to return to a efficient and orderly pace as efforts are made to advance the project’s development.
Structural construction is underway at the AP warehouse and the comprehensive warehouse
The civil foundations for Boilers 1#-4# in the boiler island have been completed; 75% of the steel structure installation is done, and 90% of the exterior cladding work on the chimney has been finished
