Investment of nearly 13 billion! Public notice on the environmental impact assessment for the 1 million tons/year methanol-to-olefins project

Thread Content

On December 14, the second public notice regarding the environmental impact assessment for Guangxi Hua Yi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.’s integrated project for methanol-to-olefins production and downstream processing was released. Project Name: Construction of an integrated methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing facility by Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.
Project Owner: Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.
Construction Location: The project is situated in the Qinzhou Petrochemical Industrial Park, within the Qinzhou Port area of the China (Guangxi) Free Trade Zone. Its geographical coordinates are 108.619516922 degrees east longitude and 21.716868431 degrees north latitude (central coordinates). To the east of the project site are the high-voltage corridor in the industrial park and Linhai Avenue; to the west are the Hua Yi Phase I and Phase II projects; to the south it faces the Suez Hazardous Waste Treatment facility and the Gas Island tank area across Yingpan Street; and to the north is the Chengxing Phosphorus Chemicals base. Nature of the construction: Expansion. Scope of construction: A 1 million tons/year methanol-to-olefins plant, a 300,000 tons/year vinyl acetate plant, 2 × 200,000 tons/year kettle-and-tube tail-end method EVA plants, as well as associated auxiliary facilities. The methanol-to-olefins and downstream deep processing integration project of Guangxi Hua Yi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. is one of the Phase III projects of Hua Yi Chemical’s new materials integration base. In order to further integrate internal resources, promote the structural transformation and upgrading of Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Industry, and advance the downstream development of products such as methanol and acetic acid, it has been decided to build an integrated project for methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing within the industrial park under Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. Using methanol as the main raw material, this project will extend the industrial chain further to produce ethylene, propylene, vinyl acetate, and EVA.
