On April 14, at the polyoxymethylene production site of Xinjiang Xinye Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Xinye Energy and Chemical”), located in the Dong Industrial Park of Wujiaqu City, workers were seen moving back and forth from the perimeter of the factory building to the production workshops. All 668 process equipment in the production workshops were in their designated positions, ready to start operating. It is reported that at the project site, over 300 personnel working on the final stages of construction are working day and night; all 292 individual unit tests have been completed successfully, and all the installations are about to enter the phase of combined testing under steam pressure. The progress bar on the countdown board shows that there are less than ten tasks remaining, which ensures that the project will be ready for material input by April 30th. The construction period for the first phase of Xinye Nenghua’s polyoxymethylene production facility, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons, is 2 years, and the total investment amount is 1.3 billion yuan. As a leading enterprise in promoting the integration of military and civilian forces in Xinjiang as well as in the field of modern coal chemical industry, Xinye Nenghua undertook the construction of this project after thorough evaluation. By leveraging the company’s abundant methanol resources and the low-pressure steam generated as a by-product of its operations, and by utilizing advanced foreign technologies and key equipment, it aims to extend its industrial chain, increase the added value of its products, and produce non-toxic and harmless coal-based new materials – polyoxymethylene polymer resins. Once the project is completed and put into operation, it will fill the gap in polyoxymethylene products in Xinjiang. As one of the five major engineering plastics, polyoxymethylene is widely used in industries such as automotive, electronics, and electrical equipment. Thanks to its high strength and ease of processing, it serves as an ideal alternative to metal materials such as steel, copper, zinc, and aluminum, as well as to other plastics, offering promising market prospects. It is reported that the 60,000 tons per year second phase of Xinye Nenghua’s polyoxymethylene production facility has passed the energy-saving evaluation, and procurement of the process packages is currently in progress. Once the entire polyoxymethylene project is completed, it will become the largest polyoxymethylene production base in the northwest region.
