Thread Content
On March 9, the first public information release regarding public participation in the environmental impact assessment for Xinjiang Henglian Energy’s coal-to-ethylene glycol project, with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons (600,000 tons in the first phase), was made. Name and overview of the construction project: Project name: Xinjiang Henglian Energy’s 1.2 million tons per year coal-to-ethylene glycol production project (600,000 tons per year in the first phase). Location of construction: Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinjiang. Project overview: Using coal as raw material, this project aims to produce 600,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year; as by-products, 27,000 tons of dimethyl carbonate, 21,000 tons of sulfur, and 19,000 tons of mixed diols will be generated. The production facilities mainly include a gasification unit, a shift unit, a low-temperature methanol washing unit, a sulfur recovery unit, an H2/CO separation unit, a DMO synthesis and distillation unit, an ethylene glycol synthesis and distillation unit, and an air separation unit. Name and contact information of the project owner: Name of the project owner: Xinjiang Henglian Energy Co., Ltd. Contact person for the project owner: Lin Chen. Contact phone number for the project owner: 18699418689. On January 12th, a meeting to discuss the process packages for the gasification unit and the ethylene glycol production unit of Xinjiang Henglian’s project with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons (600,000 tons in the first phase) was held in Xi’an. Xinjiang Henglian and Pu Jing Chemical signed a technology licensing contract for the ethylene glycol process package in December 2025, with Hualu being responsible for the engineering design. This project uses the Aerospace Maiwei gasification process.
