EPC general contracting by Southwest Institute: The 200,000-ton methanol production project using coke oven gas in Shanxi has entered the civil construction phase. Author/Source: Gasification World. Date: May 10, 2023. Clicks: 20. It was recently reported that Shanxi Yuwang Coal Gasification Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Shanxi Yuwang”) is carrying out civil construction work. The project construction is progressing safely and in an orderly manner. Shanxi Yuwang Coal Gasification Co., Ltd. is constructing a JNX3-70-1D type multi-stage single-heating top-loaded coke oven with a carbonization chamber capacity of 1.37 million tons per year and a height of 7 meters, equipped with 2×59 chambers; a dry quenching system of 1×200 t/h (with 1×140 t/h as a backup); as well as facilities for gas purification and the recovery of by-products. Complementary facilities include a project for co-producing 200,000 tons per year of methanol, 60,000 tons per year of synthetic ammonia, and 3,000 m3/h of hydrogen from coke oven gas. EPC general contracting for the Southwest Campus. On June 8, 2022, Southwest Chemical Research and Design Institute Co., Ltd. signed an EPC contract for the engineering design, procurement, and construction of a methanol production plant capable of producing 200,000 tons per year from coke oven gas, with Shanxi Yuwang Coal Gasification Co., Ltd. In 2021, the \"Green Technology for Producing Methanol from Coke Oven Gas\" developed by the Southwest Research Institute was included in the \"Catalogue of Technologies and Products Encouraged for Adoption in the Petrochemical Industry.\" This technology uses coke oven gas as a raw material to produce methanol, thereby enabling the high-value utilization of gases generated as by-products of coking. The Southwest Research Institute also possesses various energy-saving and water-saving green technologies, including those for the stripping of wastewater generated in methanol production, heat recovery, and the recycling of wastewater from boilers. The \"green technology for producing methanol from coke oven gas\" developed by the Southwest Research Institute has opened up new avenues for the efficient utilization of coke oven gas resources in China. Nearly 40 industrial units have been installed using this technology, and its adoption has yielded significant economic and social benefits, as well as improvements in the comprehensive utilization of resources and reductions in carbon emissions and energy consumption.
