The first methyl acetate hydrogenation reactor for the ethanol production unit in Anhui CarbonXin Technology Co., Ltd.’s methanol comprehensive utilization project, which was EPC-general contracted by Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (shortened as Beiyou Engineering), was successfully lifted on March 5, 2023. Author/Source: Energy & Chemical Industry News; Date: 2023-03-08; Clicks: 11 The methyl acetate hydrogenation reactor has a total weight of 460 tons and a maximum diameter of 5.9 meters. After being fully manufactured at the manufacturer located near the project site, the equipment is transported to the site using modular trucks. For equipment lifting, a 1250-ton crawler crane is used as the main crane, with a 400-ton crawler crane serving as an auxiliary crane. The equipment was lifted at 10:38, and after three hours it was successfully placed on the frame foundation. It is reported that another methyl acetate hydrogenation reactor is also ready for shipment. All members of the project team are performing their duties diligently to ensure that the equipment is delivered to the site successfully and installed there. The ethanol plant with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons requires a total investment of 3.395 billion yuan. It utilizes the DMTE technology developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and uses methanol from Anhui Carbonxin’s existing methanol production facility as raw material. A powder gasification unit is employed to generate syngas, from which CO and H2 are separated. Through processes such as methanol dehydration, dimethyl ether carbonylation, and methyl acetate hydrogenation followed by separation, 600,000 tons of ethanol are produced annually. The ethanol production unit of Anhui Carbonxin Technology Co., Ltd.’s methanol comprehensive utilization project was EPC-general contracted by Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd.
