Thread Content

Recently, the ethylene glycol project of Xinjiang Tianye Group in the Shihezi Development Zone of Xinjiang officially passed the safety completion inspection. Following this inspection, it means that the project now has a basic guarantee for obtaining subsequent safety permits and achieving compliant production. Once this project is put into full operation, it will be able to produce 600,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year, with a total investment in the project approaching 8 billion yuan. Once this project is put into operation successfully, it will become the largest ethylene glycol plant in operation in China at present. Ethylene glycol has a wide range of applications in various industrial sectors, and it serves as a basic raw material for manufacturing many industrial materials. It plays an important role in the production of antifreeze, industrial lubricants, surfactants, and paints. Once this project in Shihezi, Xinjiang, is put into operation, it will also be able to supply raw materials to the industrial parks in the vicinity of Shihezi, thereby creating an industrial cycle chain for Tianye Group and raising the industrial standards in the surrounding area. The 600,000-ton ethylene glycol plant located in the Shihezi Development Zone in Xinjiang is now operating at full capacity. It has created nearly 1,500 jobs in Shihezi, contributing to the development of this region in Xinjiang. Moreover, the technical level of this project is at the leading level both domestically and internationally; it is the largest coal-to-ethylene glycol project that has been built in China to date
