According to Sinopec News Network (Qu Zhaogui, Si Qiang, Yang Cheng), on September 26, the 1.8 million tons per year methanol-to-olefins (DMTO) plant project, part of Tianjin Bohua Group’s transformation initiative under the supervision of Sinocement Fourth Engineering Company, successfully reached its completion milestone, and a completion ceremony was held. The employees of Sijian Company who were involved in the construction of the Tianjin Bohua DMTO project worked together to achieve the goals set by CCCC. Over 1,000 employees from the project team united as one; while taking measures to prevent the spread of diseases, they also ensured the progress of the project construction and rushed to complete the work. In particular, when it came to constructing key components such as the heating furnace, the reverse regeneration system, the waste heat recovery system, and the main fan system, all employees endured high temperatures and intense heat, working round the clock without rest, demonstrating a spirit of courage and determination in the face of difficulties. The project team worked in close cooperation with the owner, the general contractor, and the supervision unit at all levels, working together to ensure the smooth progress of the project. This effort marked an important milestone in the relocation and transformation initiative of Tianjin Bohua, contributing to the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy as well as the goals of creating a beautiful and safe Tianjin.
On November 21, 2018, at the construction site in Tianjin Nangang Industrial Zone, the DMTO project as part of Tianjin Bohua’s relocation initiative, which was being built by Sinopec Fourth Construction Company, saw work commence following an order from the project’s on-site manager: “The Tianjin Bohua DMTO project is now officially under way; groundwork has begun.” Subsequently, the passing sleeve for the first underground pipe was accurately placed in its designated position, marking the official commencement of Tianjin Bohua’s DMTO project related to the relocation for industrial modernization. It was also the first of the six construction companies involved in the entire project to begin installation work. It is reported that the 1.8 million tons per year methanol-to-olefins unit (DMTO) constructed by Sinopec Fourth Construction Company is the core facility of Tianjin Bohua Chemical Development Co., Ltd.’s project for relocation and transformation. The project was under the general contract of Sinopec Luoyang Engineering Co., Ltd. The general construction contract was signed between Sinopec No.4 Construction Company and Sinopec Luoyang Engineering Co., Ltd. It consisted of 15 units, covering all fields other than civil engineering such as steel structures, moving equipment, stationary equipment, industrial furnaces, process pipelines, electrical instrumentation, anti-corrosion and insulation measures, spherical tanks, storage tanks, HVAC systems, and heat treatment. As required by the contract, completion was scheduled for June 30, 2020.
It seems that Sinopec Luoyang Research Institute and Sinopec Fourth Construction Company are going to form a consortium
