An internal meeting on the basic design for the second phase of the Shaanxi Coal project was held at Donghua Technology. Author/Source: Huahua Network Coal Chemicals. Date: May 12, 2023. Clicks: 24. On May 9, an internal meeting on the basic design for the olefins, aromatics, and advanced processing components of the Shaanxi Coal’s 15 million tons per year demonstration project for clean and efficient coal conversion (referred to as the second phase of the Shaanxi Coal project) was held at Donghua Technology. Zhu Dinghua, member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Donghua Technology, along with the directors of various departments and team members involved in the projects, attended the meeting. At the meeting, reports were presented on the work progress of the headquarters and the three facility institutes, covering aspects such as the project background, design inputs, organizational responsibilities, work plans, and precautions. Zhu Dinghua demanded that, first, great emphasis should be placed on advancing this project, with continuous efforts to refine the overall layout planning and the review of the 30% scale model. Secondly, in the construction of this ultra-large-scale modern coal chemical project, it is necessary to continuously develop new products and technologies to advance the establishment of smart factories. Thirdly, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention, be thorough and bold enough, draw fully on the experience of similar successful projects, not be constrained by traditional management models, take proactive actions, focus on design optimization, carry out thorough top-level planning, apply high standards and strict requirements, in order to deliver a satisfactory outcome that is safer, more reliable, more energy-efficient, more innovative, and more forward-thinking. The participants discussed the next steps for work and the issues that need to be addressed urgently. Various departments have stated that the Phase II project of Shaanxi Coal is a key project for all the design firms involved; they will attach great importance to it, ensure that responsibilities are properly assigned, allocate more resources to it, and continue to recruit and retain high-quality talent. They will also conduct more research, draw on best practices from others, and foster more exchanges, working full steam ahead to advance the related preliminary design work. The Yulin Chemical 15 million tons/year demonstration project for clean and efficient conversion of coal based on different grades is implemented in two phases; the first phase involves the construction of an ethylene glycol production facility with a capacity of 1.8 million tons per year, as well as a pyrolysis pilot plant. The total investment for the two-phase project amounts to approximately 201.4 billion yuan. It is a super-large-scale modern coal chemical industry project that bears the important task of driving the transformation and development of the chemical industry within Shaanxi Coal Group. It is also tasked with promoting the upgrading and sustainable development of the high-end energy and chemical industry base in northern Shaanxi. Building on the first phase, olefin, aromatic hydrocarbon, and advanced processing facilities will be constructed. These facilities will make use of coal in an efficient manner through sorting and grading, to produce major platform products such as olefins, aromatic hydrocarbons, and base oils. Further processing will then yield four categories of end products with high added value: high-value materials, battery electrolyte solvents, biodegradable materials, and special oils, thereby achieving coordinated development between coal chemical industry and petroleum chemical industry.
