On May 9, an internal design review meeting for the olefins, aromatics, and advanced processing section of the Shaanxi Coal 15 million tons/year clean and efficient coal conversion demonstration project (referred to as the Shaanxi Coal Phase II project) was held at Donghua Technology. At the meeting, reports were given on the overall work progress of the institute and the three facility institutes, covering aspects such as the project background, design inputs, organizational responsibilities, work plans, and precautions. First, it is essential to attach great importance to the progress of this project, and to continuously refine and deepen the overall layout planning as well as 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, and 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 pay close attention 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 existing experiences, and foster greater communication, working full steam ahead to advance the related preliminary design work. The Yulin Chemical 15 million tons/year demonstration project for the clean and efficient conversion of coal based on different grades is implemented in two phases; phase one 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 facilitating the transformation and development of Shaanxi Coal Group’s chemical industry. It is also tasked with driving the transformation, 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 established. These facilities will make use of coal in an efficient manner through targeted sorting and grading, to produce key 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.
