With a total investment of 1.3 billion yuan, the first phase of Xinjiang Xinye’s polyoxymethylene project is about to go into operation, while the second phase has already passed the energy-saving assessment and the procurement of process equipment has been completed. Author/Source: Gasification World. Date: April 20, 2023. Clicks: 9. On April 14, 2023, at the polyoxymethylene project site of Xinjiang Xinye Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Xinye Energy Chemical”), workers were busy moving back and forth from the perimeter of the factory building to the production workshops. All 668 process devices in the production workshops were in place, ready to start operating. To date, all 292 individual unit tests for the project have been completed, and all installations are about to enter the phase of combined testing under steam pressure; commissioning is scheduled for April 30. 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 sectors in Xinjiang as well as in the field of modern coal chemical industry, Xinye Nenghua constructed 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 expanded its industrial chain, increased the added value of its products, and produced 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. The 60,000 tons per year second phase of Xinye Nenghua polyoxymethylene plant has passed the energy-saving assessment, and procurement of the process package is currently in progress. Once the entire polyoxymethylene project is completed, it will become the largest polyoxymethylene production base in the northwest region. Xinjiang Xinye Energy currently utilizes Caiding Company’s coal gasification technology under pressure, Cassali Company of Switzerland’s methanol synthesis technology, Perstorp Company of Sweden’s formaldehyde production technology, and Invista Company of the United States’ BDO production technology via the alkyne-aldehyde method, to operate facilities capable of producing 60,000 tons of 1,4-butanediol, 500,000 tons of methanol, and 192,000 tons of liquefied natural gas. Project Review: The first phase of Xiangguo Ye New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s 80,000-ton/year polyoxymethylene production facility, with a capacity of 40,000 tons, was one of the key investment attraction projects in Wujiaqu City, Xinjiang’s Sixth Division, in 2022. It is located in the Eastern Industrial Park of Wujiaqu City’s Economic and Technological Development Zone, with a planned total investment of 2.8 billion yuan. Upon completion of the project, by making full use of the abundant methanol resources and the advantage of low-pressure steam available for industrial operations, it will be possible to extend the modern coal chemical industry chain further, improve the efficiency of comprehensive coal utilization, and produce polyoxymethylene polymer resins – the world’s third-largest type of general-purpose engineering plastic – which are non-toxic coal-based materials. This will create numerous job opportunities in the local area. Xinjiang Xinye Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Company) is located in the East Industrial Park of the **-level Wujiaqu Economic and Technological Development Zone. With a registered capital of 2 billion yuan and covering an area of 2,500 mu, it was established in December 2009. Approved by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the autonomous region, it was set up through joint investment by Xinjiang Xinye State-owned Assets Operation (Group) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary Xinjiang Xinye Shengrong Venture Capital Co., Ltd. It operates as a state-owned enterprise organized and managed in accordance with modern corporate systems, and it represents a large-scale, modern coal chemical enterprise that exemplifies the integration of military and local development efforts. To date, the company has invested 6.5 billion yuan to complete the first phase of the 200,000-ton/year fine chemical project for 1,4-butanediol and its associated facilities, which are now in operation. This enables annual production of 60,000 tons of 1,4-butanediol, 500,000 tons of methanol, 192,000 tons of liquefied natural gas, 100,000 tons of high-purity gasoline produced from methanol, as well as various other by-products; in addition, it has a waste heat power generation capacity of over 50,000 KW. This project utilizes domestically and internationally leading technologies that are well-proven in operation. It features a high rate of economic conversion of coal, a good input-output ratio, and excellent economies of scale, thus setting the direction for the development of modern new coal chemical industries. The company actively adheres to the development concepts of \"lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets\" as well as \"giving priority to environmental protection and building the enterprise in an ecological manner.\" It has invested 1.27 billion yuan (accounting for 20.16% of the total investment) in the construction and upgrading of environmental protection facilities, to ensure that the treatment of \"waste gas, wastewater, and noise\" meets standards that are superior to **environmental regulations**.
