No one thought that the dimethyl ether industry will develop so fast.
Dimethyl ether is an emerging industry. After more than 10 years of exploration and research and development, China has now mastered the full set of technologies for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether, with complete independent intellectual property rights. On October 18th, Inner Mongolia Tianhe Chemical Co., Ltd.'s 200,000-ton/year dimethyl ether plant was completed and put into production, marking that China's dimethyl ether single plant scale has exceeded 200,000 tons/year by 100,000 tons/year. Steps. In 2005, China's dimethyl ether production capacity was only 200,000 tons and its output was 100,000 tons. However, by the end of this year, China's dimethyl ether production capacity will reach 1.3 million tons, and the output will exceed 700,000 tons. The latest statistics show that with the projects currently under construction and planning, by 2010, China's dimethyl ether production capacity will exceed 16.7 million tons, and production will reach 10 million tons. If dimethyl ether fuel vehicles were to be promoted from 2008 to 2009, they will stimulate another significant increase in demand for dimethyl ether, and production capacity will be greater.
However, compared with the rapid growth of dimethyl ether production, production and demand under a number of favorable stimuli, domestic dimethyl ether transportation support capability is very fragile. At present, except for the enterprises along the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Delta that can easily use water transportation, the vast majority of companies' dimethyl ether products have to be transported by road. Even more serious is that at present, over 80% of the large-scale dimethyl ether projects planned to be built are concentrated in the central and western provinces of Shanxi, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Henan, Ningxia, and Chongqing, with the exception of some enterprises in Henan which can account for a little water flow in the Huaihe River. "Bad", the remaining five provinces and regions of the dimethyl ether enterprises can only hope for road and rail transport.
However, as of now, dimethyl ether has not been included in the "Railway dangerous goods list". This means that there is no standard reference for the dimethyl ether in the filling, carriage, unloading, warehousing and other aspects of the railway transportation process, and there are no ready-made venues and facilities. Therefore, the railway department will not accept its shipping application. In other words, dimethyl ether is currently impossible to transport by rail.
“We only have 400,000 tons of methanol per year and 100,000 tons of dimethyl ether per year. There are 780 tankers entering and leaving the tank every day. After the 1 million tons of dimethyl ether plant is completed and put into operation next year, The number of tankers entering and leaving the tanker will reach 400, and if one considers that the 1 million tons/year of DME may support the 1.5 million tons/year methanol project launched, the number of tankers entering and leaving the company each day will exceed 500. Squeezing to the door, not to mention smooth delivery, the existing parking lot can not stop all are problems.†Hebei Kai Yue Group Zhao Haiyin sales manager worried about the problem, but also most of the current alcohol companies to face.
“We are building our own dedicated railway line to complete the company's 600,000-ton/year DME and 300,000-ton/year biodiesel transportation through the railway.†Just completed and commissioned 100,000 tons/year of dimethyl ether The remarks made by Minister Li of the Henan Jinding Group's sales department represent the wishes and ideas of most alcohol ether companies. In fact, there are many dimethyl ether projects under construction including 1 million tons of dimethyl ether from Shanxi Orchid Group, 1 million tons of dimethyl ether from Huaneng Group in Ningxia, and 1 million tons from Inner Mongolia Jiutai Energy Co., Ltd. At the time of planning, they all wanted to use convenient rail transportation to transport products to the major consuming areas of dimethyl ether, such as East China and South China. However, the actual transportation conditions have given these companies a blow.
At present, dimethyl ether enterprises can only expect the relevant departments of the country to issue DME rail transport standards as soon as possible, so that dimethyl ether can be transported through railways reasonably, legally and smoothly. In addition, these dimethyl ether companies also hope that in reviewing and approving large-scale methanol and dimethyl ether projects, the government should examine the project's local consumption capacity in addition to raw materials, water resources, and environmental protection. The situation of transportation guarantee requires the project unit to provide a reliable report on the feasibility of transport capacity.
“Otherwise, this kind of hazardous chemicals that cannot be stored for a long time will not be conceivable if they cannot be transported and consumed in time!†said Wang Zhaolin, Deputy Minister of Marketing and Transportation Department of Shaanxi Weihe Coal Chemical Group Co., Ltd.
For dimethyl ether enterprises, the “DME for town gas†standard introduced in October this year is an epoch-making milestone. It opens up a broader market for dimethyl ether products. But what made the dimethyl ether enterprise unanticipated was that the joy had not been calmed down and the nightmare had come. The dimethyl ether enterprise was dying quickly due to the sudden and tense transportation problem.
