摘要
The Davy Process Technology Company subordinated to Johnson Matthew Corporation has signed with the Shenhua Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. a contract on providing the methanol synthesis technology, basic engineering design and methanol synthesis catalyst to the 1.83 Mt/a coal-to-methanol unit constructed by the Shenhua Company in Baotou city. The Shenhua Company intending to invest $1.0-2.0 billion is engaging in the construction of an integrated petrochemical unit and will use methanol to manufacture olefins and polyolefins. The phase I methanol project will be developed by Xi＇an Hualu Industry Co., Ltd., and the detailed engineering design of the phase II project will be proposed for tendering. Manufacture of olefins from methanol will adopt either the UOP-Hydro process or the domestic technology. The total capacity of ethylene and propylene production will be 600 kt/a. The whole integrated petrochemical plant is slated for commissioning by 2010.
