Johnson Matthey (JM) made an important announcement that Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group has "successfully" commissioned a new methanol plant at Ningxia Baofeng's 600,000-t/y coal-to-olefins complex in Ningxia Province, China.The unit with a capacity of 6, 600 tonnes/day is based on technology of JM, and is based on gas as feedstock. It combines advanced JM catalysts to produce stabilized methanol, which is used to produce olefins in a downstream facility.
"This project has incorporated processing technologies from the most advanced international and domestic coal-to-chemical units," said Liu Yuanguan, president of Baofeng Energy. "The unit is the largest methanol plant for a single train with comprehensive advantages of high synthesis and energy efficiency and low OPEX and emissions, benefiting both our society and providing long-term value."
