Happy May Day 2024! Safety first. Let’s give praise and support to the achievements in China’s chemical technology and equipment industry. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Forum Website) ***************** The first ethanol production plant using sorghum stalks was completed. After more than 3 months of construction, China’s first modern facility for producing ethanol from sweet sorghum stalks was completed and put into operation at the beginning of 2008 in Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province. This project involves planting sweet sorghum in coastal marshlands, with the ability to produce 3,000 tons of sweet sorghum stalks per year for ethanol production. It serves as a demonstration project for China National Petroleum Jilin Fuel Ethanol Co., Ltd. in exploring the use of non-grain materials for fuel ethanol production. It features the advantages of not occupying arable land, not consuming grain, and not damaging the ecological environment; while making full use of the stems to produce ethanol, it also allows for the comprehensive utilization of its waste. Previously, Dongtai City had established the country’s first 500-mu experimental field for non-grain ethanol feedstocks.
