The start of work on the process package and engineering design for the waste liquid recovery, emission reduction, and carbon reduction project related to Yulin Chemical’s 1.8 million tons per year ethylene glycol production facility (hereinafter referred to as “this project”)

Thread Content

On March 2, the kick-off meeting for the process package and engineering design of the waste liquid recovery, emission reduction, and carbon reduction project for Yulin Chemical’s 1.8 million tons per year ethylene glycol production facility (hereinafter referred to as “this project”) was successfully held. The meeting held in-depth discussions on aspects such as the design scope, design basis, plans for key time milestones, design input requirements for various disciplines, and technical challenges related to the manufacturing process. This project takes into full account the issues related to intrinsic safety during the design process, makes comprehensive use of the existing advantages such as steam, water, and electricity from the 180 project, and strictly controls the quality of formamide and the by-product methanol. It is reported that this project builds on the existing 1.8 million tons per year ethylene glycol production facility; by separating and purifying the crude methyl formate generated as a by-product in the synthesis of dimethyl oxalate, and reacting it with liquid ammonia, formamide is produced along with methanol as a by-product. Once operational, the project is expected to generate annual economic benefits of over 100 million yuan.
