Recently, Henan Liyuan Group Co., Ltd.’s 200,000-ton/year coke oven gas-to-ethanol project, undertaken by SXPCCC No. , marking the official completion and commissioning of the world's first coke oven gas chemical synthesis legal system anhydrous ethanol industrial demonstration project.

Henan Liyuan Coal Coke Group Co., Ltd.'s 200,000 tons/year coke oven gas to ethanol project started construction on May 16, 2021. The project mainly consists of pretreatment, loading and unloading stations, crude benzene tank farms, tank farms, carbon dioxide tank farms, It is composed of more than ten sets of monomer units including dimethyl ether distillation and synthesis.

During the construction of the project, the project department strictly implemented the requirements of "preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring safe development", carried forward the iron army style of "specially able to endure hardships and especially able to fight", united and led more than 700 participating teams to actively Overcoming unfavorable factors such as repeated epidemics and delays in the arrival of equipment and materials, according to the project construction node goals, decompose the construction tasks one by one, match the optimal resources, implement the optimal plan, strictly control the safety and quality, strengthen the control of the operation process, and quickly promote the project construction , to ensure that equipment installation, pipeline installation, unit test run, pressure test package pressure test, open up the whole process of the process, and commissioning are completed on schedule with high quality.

It is reported that Henan Liyuan Coal Coke Group Co., Ltd.’s 200,000 tons/year coke oven gas to ethanol project uses coke oven gas instead of traditional grain fermentation to produce ethanol, which can save 600,000 tons of grain and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 190,000 tons per year. The transformation of economical, efficient, and high-quality ethanol production marks the industrialization of new coal-to-ethanol technology. The completion and commissioning of this project has extremely important practical significance for changing China's fuel structure, leading the coal chemical industry towards a new direction of clean energy, and further establishing China's global leading position in the field of synthetic ethanol technology.
