Henan plans to build the world's largest coal-based ethylene glycol base

Henan Province, which has signed a coal-based ethylene glycol project with China National Chemical Engineering Group, once again demonstrated its ambition to build the world's largest coal-based ethylene glycol production and R&D base.

The Henan Provincial Government recently held the Henan Coal Chemical Group as one of the top 500 press conferences in the world. Zheng Boyang, deputy director of the Henan Provincial Government’s SASAC, announced that Henan Province’s largest provincial management company, Henan Coal Chemical Group, will invest 4.6 billion yuan in the construction of Yongcheng City, Henan Province. 200,000 tons of coal to ethylene glycol and its supporting projects, including the coal chemical project, and will be subsequently installed in the province 5 sets of equipment, built in Henan Province 1 million tons / year of coal to ethylene glycol production base.

Henan Coal Chemical Group entered this field through cooperation with Inner Mongolia Tongliao Jinmei Chemical Co., Ltd. Tongliao Gold and Coal Company is a subsidiary company of Danhua Technology and its 200,000-ton/year coal-to-ethylene glycol project has been operating successfully since the end of 2009 and produced qualified products. It is the world’s first coal-to-ethylene glycol industry demonstration. project.

Ethylene glycol is the main raw material of bottle grade polyester (PET). Carbon fiber has high strength and corrosion resistance. It is a key high-tech engineering material recognized by the world. The future market is mainly aircraft structural materials, wind power blades, automotive leaf springs and drive shafts, etc. .

In an interview with media such as the First Financial Daily, Zheng Boyang stated that the Henan provincial government will continue to support Henan Coal Chemical Group out of the “provincial gate” and help it form a 3 million-ton/year coal-to-ethylene glycol production capacity throughout the country. To build Henan Coal Chemical Group into the world's largest coal-based glycol production and R&D base.

According to reports, at present, Henan Coal Chemical Group has entered Guizhou, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, Shanghai and other provinces and municipalities, and some industries have entered overseas.

This is after the signing of Henan Province in Hebi City in early June and China Chemical Engineering Group signed a coal-based glycol project, and once again put forward specific requirements for the coal-to-ethylene glycol project.

Zheng Boyang said that although mainland China has become the world's largest consumer of ethylene glycol, due to the relative shortage of ethylene glycol supply, ethylene glycol manufacturers in countries including Canada, the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia and the Middle East It is also relying on its cheap resources to expand its exports to the mainland.

According to the Asian chemical consulting data of coal chemical companies, in 2010, China’s ethylene glycol production capacity was about 4 million tons, the output was 2.4 million tons, apparent consumption was 9.04 million tons, and net imports amounted to 6.64 million tons, and the supply was seriously insufficient. . Earlier, Jin Kanning, general manager of China Chemical Engineering Group, said in an interview with reporters that the new technology of coal-based ethylene glycol will save 3000 to 4,000 yuan per ton compared to the traditional use of oil to produce ethylene glycol.

At present, the domestic and international ethylene glycol production routes are mainly petroleum routes. Of the current 13 ethylene glycol manufacturers in China, all are ethylene ethylene-ethylene oxide routes. The domestic ethylene glycol is mainly produced by PetroChina, Sinopec and CNOOC, with a production capacity of only 2 million tons/year.

Chen Xiangen, chairman of Henan Coal Chemical Group, pointed out that compared with petroleum glycol, the development of coal-based glycol industry more in line with China's "rich coal and less oil" of the national conditions. At present, there are many domestic researches on the production of ethylene glycol from coal as raw materials, but most of them are in the experimental stage. Henan Coal has more than 400 billion tons of coal reserves, and it also owns independent intellectual property rights development technology for coal-to-ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol products occupy the domestic market. Calculating the gap in the current domestic market of 6.6 million tons of ethylene glycol, if these ethylene glycol products are all produced using the technology developed by the Henan Coal Chemical Group, they can save 16 million tons of oil each year.

At present, the hydrogenation catalysts used in coal-based glycols in China have not been tested for long-term stable operation. Market analysts also believe that there are still major risks associated with this technology, and compared with the use of associated petroleum gas (ethane, propane) in the Middle East. Etc.) In the case of ethylene glycol, there is no economic advantage in terms of cost.
