Xinye Energy’s 500,000-ton methanol plant successfully commissioned 2016-7-8 On July 4, 2016, the 500,000-ton/year methanol plant built under the general contracting of Siding Engineering by Xinjiang Xinye Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. was successfully commissioned, producing high-quality purified methanol. The project is located in Wujiaqu City, Xinjiang, with a total investment of 6 billion yuan. It will be developed in three phases to include projects such as BDO production, coal-to-methanol production, tar processing, and methanol-to-aromatics production. In the first phase, facilities such as a methanol plant to support BDO production and a project for producing mixed aromatics from methanol at an annual capacity of 100,000 tons will be constructed. The methanol-to-blended aromatics plant was successfully commissioned in October 2013. http://www.chinacoalchem.com/news.asp?id=61071
