[Haichuan Project Updates] Yulin Hongyu’s 150,000 tons/year mixed alcohol and 100,000 tons/year sodium methoxide projects have commenced operations
Thread Content
The 150,000 tons per year mixed alcohol comprehensive utilization project and the 100,000 tons per year sodium methoxide project, invested in and built by Yulin Hongyu Environmental Protection and Renewable Resources Co., Ltd. – as a major province for coal chemical industry, Shaanxi faces difficulties in effectively handling hazardous waste such as mixed alcohol, miscellaneous alcohols, and waste alcohol that are generated as by-products in processes like coal-to-methanol, coal-to-oil, and coal-to-ethylene glycol production. In response to the low utilization rate of mixed alcohols in the Yulin area and the difficulties associated with transporting hazardous waste across provinces for treatment, Hongyu Environmental Protection Company has introduced patented technology to establish a new project for the comprehensive utilization of such mixed alcohols. Once completed and put into operation by the end of October 2020, this facility will enable the clean and resource-efficient processing of these hazardous alcohol wastes. Various distillation techniques will be used to produce products such as crude methanol, pure methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, heavy alcohols, light components, and isomers. This approach will help solve the problems related to the handling of hazardous waste in coal chemical enterprises, thereby promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the coal chemical industry in northern Shaanxi.
The 150,000 tons per year mixed alcohol comprehensive utilization project covers an area of 110.98 mu. Foundation work began in early March; currently, 95% of the equipment has been ordered and the civil engineering works have been fully launched. On this basis, the company will build a new 100,000 tons per year sodium methoxide production facility, using the abundant methanol and sodium hydroxide available in Yulin as raw materials to produce sodium methoxide. Upon completion of this project, Hongyu Environmental Protection Company will become the largest producer of sodium methoxide in China. Both projects are located in the Fine Chemical Park of Yulin High-Tech Zone, with a total investment of 400 million yuan; upon completion, they will be able to generate an annual output value of 665 million yuan.
It is understood that Hongyu Environmental Protection Company is an environmental protection enterprise under Yulin Hongyu Energy Group Co., Ltd. With the mission of \"building efficient chemical supply chains, extending the value chain of fine chemicals, conserving resources by turning waste into assets, and protecting the environment,\" Hongyu Group is primarily engaged in chemical production, chemical trading, warehousing and logistics, as well as environmental protection services. Its subsidiary, Yulin Hongsheng Energy Chemical Co., Ltd., has a production capacity of 40,000 tons per year of liquid sodium methoxide and 10,000 tons per year of solid sodium methoxide.
I work on torches; I don’t know if the torch has been delivered yet
I don’t know; you need a specific contact person for that
Yulin has successively launched several projects with investments of over 10 billion yuan, offering many opportunities
It is understood that the company’s new 100,000 tons per year sodium methoxide production project will enter the trial production phase in July
