Construction begins on projects to support the 70-billion-yuan Zhundong Coal Chemical Industry Park 2020-06-02 15:15:46 Source: China Chemical Manufacturing Network Construction begins on projects to support the 70-billion-yuan Zhundong Coal Chemical Industry Park In the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone in Xinjiang (referred to as Zhundong Development Zone), construction has started on the Wucaiwan No. 1 Mine project of Yangmei Group. The total investment in this project exceeds 5 billion yuan (RMB, the same below). The approved overall capacity is 15 million tons per year, with the approved construction capacity for the first phase being 6 million tons per year. The Wucaiwan No.1 Mine Project is a major industrial assistance project from Shanxi Province to Xinjiang, as well as a key project to be promoted during Xinjiang’s 13th Five-Year Plan period. In recent years, Shanxi Yangmei Group has committed to providing industrial support to Xinjiang, increasing its investment in projects there. With an investment of 11.3 billion yuan, it has built modern coal chemical plants capable of producing 200,000 tons of BDO (a chemical product) and 60,000 tons of PTMEG (another chemical product) per year, thereby injecting new momentum into the development of the modern coal chemical industry in the Zhundong Development Zone.
The developer of this project is Xinjiang Guotai Xinhua Wucailiwan Mining Co., Ltd. The developer of the coal-based fine chemical circular economy industrial park in the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone is Xinjiang Guotai Xinhua Chemical Co., Ltd.; both companies are part of Xinjiang Guotai Xinhua Mining Co., Ltd. This mine is a supporting mine for the circular economy industrial park; it covers an area of over 64 square kilometers. The mine’s resource reserves amount to 2.1 billion tons, with a designed extractable reserve of 1.2 billion tons. The coal produced is mainly sent to the Zhundong Wucaiwan Coal and Electricity Circular Economy Industrial Park. The Yangmei Group’s Xinjiang Zhundong Circular Economy Industrial Park is planned to cover an area of 15,008 mu, with a total investment of 70 billion yuan; the project will be built in three phases. This is the first coal, power, and chemical industrial park fully under construction by Yangmei Group in Xinjiang. The first phase of the project covers an area of 298 hectares, with a total investment of 11.3 billion yuan. The main construction elements and scale include: a BDO production facility with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons, a PTMEG production facility with an annual capacity of 60,000 tons, a calcium carbide production facility with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons, a methanol production facility with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons, 2 × 350MW power plants for internal use, as well as related utility and auxiliary facilities. It also includes Mine No. 1 and a coal processing plant in the Wucaiwan mining area. Phases II and III of the project mainly include an 1.8 million tons per year methanol plant, a 600,000 tons per year methanol-to-olefins plant, a 350,000 tons per year polyether polyol plant, a 120,000 tons per year butanol plant, a 60,000 tons per year EPDM rubber plant, a 300,000 tons per year polyethylene plant, an 80,000 tons per year 2-PH (2-propylheptanol) plant, as well as facilities for processing 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas, along with associated hydrogen peroxide and propylene oxide production units. On November 20, 2012, the groundbreaking ceremony for this park project was officially held. Phase 1 of the project came online in September 2017, while phases 2 and 3 are expected to come online in 2023.

The real goal behind all this isn’t the wine; it’s to seize Xinjiang’s coal resources.
Take a look at that post from last month that was discussed upstairs
The total investment planned for the project of Inner Mongolia Dongjing Bio-Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., which aims to produce 200,000 tons of 1,4-butanediol per year, is approximately 2.939 billion yuan. Of this amount, 260 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection facilities, representing 8.85% of the total investment in the project construction. The reporter learned that the project will add 400 new employees, with an annual working hours of 7,200 hours. Production equipment and utility logistics staff work on a day shift. Scale of main plant construction: Formaldehyde plant 2×240,000 t/a ； Acetylene plant 80,000 t/a ； Hydrogen production unit 18000 Nm3/h ； 1,4-Butanediol plant 2×100,000 t/a ； Annual operating time: 7,200 hours.
2019-08-23 17:30 Follow: The project to produce 200,000 tons per year of 1,4-butanediol, undertaken by Inner Mongolia Dongjing Bio-Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., is being advanced at a rapid pace. According to the Inner Mongolia Chemicals WeChat official account, the project is located in an unused area within the Wuda Industrial Park of the Wuhai Economic Development Zone, belonging to Inner Mongolia Dongyuan Technology Company. It utilizes the Invista alkyne aldehyde process technology from the United States to produce 1,4-butanediol (BDO). In line with the company’s overall plan, this project will utilize local resources such as lime, electricity, and coal to establish an integrated circular economy industry development model centered around 1,4-butanediol (BDO) as the key component. Mongolia Dongjing Bio-Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. was established on April 9, 2015, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inner Mongolia Dongyuan Technology Co., Ltd. The new 200,000-ton per year 1,4-butanediol production project was registered with the Development and Reform Bureau of Wuda District, Wuhai City, on March 9, 2018; the project identifier is 2018-150304-26-03-003543.
