At the Depu Industrial Park in the Yuanyang Area of Xintai, Shandong Province, where the project to produce 200,000 tons of carbonates per year is being carried out under the general contract of Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., there is an increasing number of simultaneous construction and installation tasks. The project team remains committed to its goals, focuses on keeping up with the schedule, and has already completed more than half of the construction work. To date, 64% of the overall project construction has been completed; 85% of the steel structure installation for the equipment has been finished, with a total of 81 units of static equipment installed. 68% of the work related to the foundation and steel structure of the plant’s process and thermal piping networks has been completed, while the foundations for the demineralized water station and the filling warehouse are still under construction. Since the project entered the winter construction phase, the project team has strictly followed the company’s winter construction plan, implemented all relevant technical and safety measures, strengthened safety management, and ensured that safety, quality, and progress are all advanced simultaneously. At present, the focus is on completing the installation of key construction equipment and the welding of the steel structure for the framework. The project team takes advantage of favorable weather conditions to keep pushing forward with the project progress and ensure its completion on schedule. It is reported that this project is a key initiative in Shandong Province, and it is also the largest single-unit facility in the world for producing dimethyl carbonate using the transesterification method based on the propylene oxide route. By using technical carbon sequestration methods to convert carbon dioxide into new materials, it reduces carbon emissions at their source; meanwhile, both the overall energy consumption and investment costs of this system are at the international leading level. Once the project reaches full production capacity, it will further promote the structured development and cluster formation of the high-end chemical industry in Shandong Province.
