The first phase of Zhongkun New Materials’ 2×600,000 tons/year natural gas to ethylene glycol project was put into operation

On November 29, the first phase of the 2×600,000 tons/year natural gas to ethylene glycol demonstration project of Xinjiang Zhongkun New Materials Co., Ltd. was successfully put into production at one time.

The Zhongkun Ethylene Glycol Project has a total investment of 10.8 billion yuan and covers an area of ​​1,500 acres. It uses natural gas as raw material and adopts the internationally advanced oxidative coupling ethylene glycol production process to build air separation units, conversion units, purification separation units, and DMO. The plant, ethylene glycol plant and supporting public works have formed an annual ethylene glycol production capacity of 1.2 million tons.

As the country’s largest benchmark project for natural gas to ethylene glycol, this project started on March 17, 2022. When the first phase of the project reaches full production, it can achieve annual sales revenue of more than 3 billion yuan and create more than 800 direct jobs.
