Xinjiang Henglian Energy Co., Ltd. coal-to-ethylene glycol project has an annual output of 1.2 million tons (the first phase: 600,000 tons).
建设地点:新疆准东经济技术开发区
Construction site: Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinjiang
Construction summary: Using coal as raw material via gasification, 600,000 tons per year of ethylene glycol is to be produced, together with 27,000 tons per year of dimethyl carbonate, 21,000 tons per year of sulfur, and 19,000 tons per year of mixed glycol as by-products. The production units are comprehensive, including the gasification unit, shift conversion, low-temperature methanol washing, sulfur recovery, H₂/CO separation, DMO synthesis and distillation, ethylene glycol synthesis, distillation, and air separation units.
On January 12th, the kick-off meeting for the process design package of the gasification unit and ethylene glycol unit of Xinjiang Henglian Energy Co., Ltd.'s coal-to-ethylene glycol project with an annual output of 1.2 million tons (600,000 tons in the first phase) was held in Xi'an. In December 2025, Xinjiang Henglian Energy Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Pujing Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. signed a technology licensing agreement for the ethylene glycol process design package, with HuaLu Engineering&Technology Co., Ltd. responsible for the engineering design. The project adopts the gasification process of Aerospace Maiwei Technology Co., Ltd.
