Filing for the high-carbon aldehyde and alcohol production project using FTO olefins as raw material in Yino New Materials, Ordos, Inner Mongolia

Thread Content

On October 28, 20025, the project for producing high-carbon aldehydes and alcohols via Fischer-Tropsch olefins, developed by Inner Mongolia Yino New Materials Co., Ltd., was officially registered with the local development and reform commission, marking positive progress in the advancement of this project. Construction location: Ordos City – Hangjin Banner – North Tai Si Road, West of Ningneng Lianbo Factory, South Project Area of Duguitala Industrial Park, Hangjin Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Total investment: 541 million yuan, of which 162.23 million yuan comes from own funds, 378.77 million yuan from bank loans, and 0 million yuan from other sources. Planned construction period: from April 2026 to July 2027. Scale and scope of construction: The project covers an area of approximately 98 mu. It involves the construction of a 40,000-ton/year high-carbon alcohol production facility, a 20,000-ton/year high-carbon aldehyde separation facility, as well as auxiliary buildings, power distribution rooms, cabinet rooms, circulating water stations, pipe corridors, tank areas, loading/unloading stations and other utility facilities and supporting structures. Some of the existing facilities and units in the factory site will also be upgraded and expanded. Upon completion of the project, the production of a range of high-carbon alcohol and high-carbon aldehyde products from C6 to C11 will be possible. Public records show that Inner Mongolia Yino New Materials Co., Ltd. was established on October 23, 2018. It is composed of five major shareholders: Weifang Sanlinuotai New Materials Co., Ltd. (with a 53% shareholding ratio), Ordos Yitai Investment Holding Co., Ltd. (15%), Inner Mongolia Dongzhitaihe Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. (10%), Shanghai Beichen Hengtai Trade Co., Ltd. (12%), and Qingdao Sanlibenuo New Materials Co., Ltd. (10%). Phase 1 FTO olefins-based high-carbon alcohol production project: On March 28, 2021, the entire production process of Inner Mongolia Yino New Materials Co., Ltd.’s Phase 1 project, which has an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of high-carbon alcohols derived from FTO olefins, was operationalized, enabling the production of qualified end products. The project utilizes olefins from Inner Mongolia Yitai Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 1.2 million tons per year fine chemicals production facility as a resource, and employs light distillate products, hydrogen, and Fischer-Tropsch syngas as raw materials. It applies the advanced olefin hydroformylation technology developed through a collaboration between Sichuan University and Qingdao Sanlibenuo New Materials Co., Ltd., to produce high-value carbon alcohol products derived from C5 and higher chain-length olefins. Process optimization and safety/environmental improvement project for the production of high-carbon alcohols from fetoleene: On February 27, 2025, the Ordos Ecology and Environment Bureau issued a public notice announcing that the environmental impact assessment report for this project carried out by Inner Mongolia Yino New Materials Co., Ltd. had been accepted. Construction scale: Improve the quality of the mixed alcohols and crude aldehydes produced by its existing facilities, to produce high-carbon aldehydes (C6-C10) at a rate of 5,000 tons per year. This technical upgrade project involves adding an aldehyde-alcohol purification unit to the north side of the existing 20,000-ton high-carbon alcohol plant. Within this area, a deisomerization tower (130T0101) is installed for the separation of normal and isomeric aldehydes, while a normal aldehyde-alcohol tower (130T0201) is used for the production of normal aldehydes. Additional supporting facilities such as vacuum pumping equipment, buffer storage tanks, closed-type cooling towers, and hydrogen compression units are also added. Moreover, a new hydrogenation reactor is installed in the existing hydrogenation unit, and a resin tower is added to the distillation unit in order to improve product quality – specifically, to increase the total alcohol content of C6 normal alcohols, C7 normal alcohols, C8 normal alcohols, and C9 normal alcohols by 1%. A catalyst recovery process is also introduced in the existing hydroformylation unit.
