The World's First Set! Demonstration Device of Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Degradable Material is About to be Built

A few days ago, a reporter from People's Daily walked into the National Energy Group Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd. and saw vertical and horizontal pipelines and tower tanks. "After coal is made into syngas, polyglycolic acid (PGA) can be obtained by efficient processing of the device, which is a degradable material." Tao Long, manager of the PGA unit of the company's methanol business department, told reporters, "We are about to build 50,000 ton/year PGA demonstration project.”

In May, the 50,000-ton/year polyglycolic acid (PGA) demonstration unit of the National Energy Group Shenhua Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd. started the loading of methyl glycolate synthesis catalyst, and the MG synthesis unit entered the start-up preparation stage, marking the world's first set of synthesis gas The production of the demonstration device for the production of polyglycolic acid (PGA) degradable materials officially kicked off.

The project is located in Qingshui Industrial Park, Dabaodang Town, Shenmu City, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of 9.8 hectares. It adopts Shanghai Pujing Chemical Technology and is the world's first polyglycolic acid plant with a total investment of about 1 billion yuan. It is a national demonstration The project, the coal-to-olefin industry chain extension project, is expected to be completed mechanically by the end of June, and fully completed by the end of July.

Guoneng Group Yulin Chemical Co., Ltd. has built 1.8 million tons/year of methanol, 600,000 tons/year of olefins, 400,000 tons/year of ethylene glycol and other comprehensive coal utilization projects. The complete industrial chain of chemical products. As an extension project of the coal-to-ethylene glycol industry chain, the 50,000-ton/year polyglycolic acid (PGA) industrial project is the first industrial demonstration unit with independent intellectual property technology developed by the National Energy Group, using coal-to-synthesis gas as raw material , Polyglycolic acid produced by esterification, carbonylation, rectification, polymerization, etc. is a brand-new coal-based biodegradable material. The general secretary clearly pointed out during the inspection of Yulin Chemical Company that coal-based special fuels and coal-based biodegradable materials should be actively developed.
