Xinjiang kicks off construction of 60,000-ton polyoxymethylene project

Thread Content

The construction scope of this project includes the establishment of a new POM production facility with an annual output of 60,000 tons. The production processes involve the manufacture of formaldehyde, trimethylolpropane, and dioxolane, as well as the polymerization process (with the main raw materials and auxiliary materials being purchased from external suppliers). Upon completion, the project will be capable of producing 60,000 tons per year of polyoxymethylene. It consists mainly of the main plant facilities, utility and auxiliary systems, storage and transportation facilities, as well as environmental protection systems. The main plant facilities include the ferrous-molybdenum process for producing formaldehyde, the oxolane (DoX) unit, the trioxymethylene (TOX) synthesis unit, as well as polymerization and post-treatment units. The auxiliary systems include heat exchange stations, a central control room, and facilities for expanding the existing desalination plant. The storage and transportation facilities comprise raw material storage tanks and product warehouses. The supporting facilities include office buildings, a central laboratory, water supply systems, and air supply systems.
