In 2026, during the 25th National \"Safety Production Month,\" everyone is encouraged to talk about safety and to know how to handle emergencies; risks and potential hazards need to be identified and addressed. On June 8th, the 300,000-ton per year vinyl acetate production unit of Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.’s methanol-to-olefins and downstream processing integrated project (hereinafter referred to as the VAC unit) successfully produced qualified products, achieving a successful first operation. This lays a solid foundation for integrating the upstream and downstream production processes of the project, as well as for the coordinated operation of subsequent supporting facilities such as EVA units, thereby enabling the full utilization of production capacity. It marks a significant step forward in the company’s industrial chain expansion and industrial upgrading. From civil construction and equipment installation to the acceptance of the entire line, and from individual unit commissioning and system debugging to the official start-up with raw materials, every critical milestone reflects the hard work and dedication of all personnel involved in the plant. Facing challenges such as a tight schedule, heavy workload, numerous overlapping tasks, limited workspace, and unpredictable weather, they took the initiative to assume responsibilities, worked tirelessly day and night, and persisted in their efforts. They repeatedly conducted “three inspections and four verifications,” systematically identifying and rectifying potential hazards related to equipment, processes, and pipelines. They meticulously carried out key tasks including equipment commissioning, pipeline purging, airtightness testing, and catalyst loading, ultimately succeeding in bringing the plant online through hard work and concrete results.
