This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. Haichuan becomes even better with you here; we welcome everyone to engage more in discussions on this forum. It’s hot in July, so be careful to prevent fires. --------------------------------------------- Recently, two key pieces of equipment for the project at Xinjiang Tianye Huixiang New Materials Co., Ltd., namely the carbonylation reactors, which are designed to produce 250,000 tons per year of ultra-pure alcohol-based fine chemicals, were successfully completed and shipped. These devices were manufactured by Xinjiang Lanshi Heavy Equipment Energy Engineering Co., Ltd. The carbonylation reactor has a tubular design; each unit weighs 460 tons and has a diameter of 4.8 meters, setting a new record for high-end equipment manufacturing at the Xinjiang Company. Located in the North Industrial Park of the Shihezi Economic Development Zone, this project is part of Xinjiang Tianye Group’s efforts to balance its overall raw material supply and to replace certain production capacities through industrial transformation. It makes use of technology developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, and it represents the world’s first industrial demonstration project for a green process that involves using ethanol to produce ethylene, which is then used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride. The project of Xinjiang Tianye Huixiang New Materials Co., Ltd. to produce 250,000 tons per year of ultra-pure, high-purity alcohol-based fine chemicals involves the production of 250,000 tons of ethanol from syngas. The project utilizes technology from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. The 100,000-ton/year industrial demonstration project for producing ethanol from syngas at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics was built and put into operation in Xinghua, Shaanxi in 2017. Subsequently, multiple ethanol project contracts were signed.
