In the heart of winter, a reporter visited the construction site of Inner Mongolia Yili Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., one of the key projects in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The project involves the construction of a 1 million tons/year PVC plant and a 400,000 tons/year ion-exchange membrane caustic soda facility, along with supporting infrastructure. The site was bustling with activity, as workers from the third, sixth, eleventh, and thirteenth construction companies under China National Chemical Engineering Corporation were striving to meet the production targets set for October 2006. They were currently working on a massive 3,500-acre site, demonstrating remarkable dedication despite the harsh winter conditions.
According to Wang Yi, the General Manager of Yili Company, the project was jointly funded by Yili Resources Group, Shanghai Huayi Group, and Shenhua Group, with a total investment of 4 billion yuan. Yili Group possesses strong advantages in heavy chemical industry, coal-based chemicals, organic and inorganic chemistry, salt-based industry, and resource management. Shanghai Huayi is one of China’s largest PVC manufacturers, known for its advanced technology and skilled workforce. Shenhua Group, the country's largest coal company, has integrated capabilities in import/export, coal-electricity integration, logistics, railways, ports, and capital.
Feng Guangtian, the deputy general manager of Yili Company, highlighted the project’s strategic advantages in raw materials, power supply, water resources, and human capital. He noted that China’s demand for PVC is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, while domestic production capacity and technological output may not keep up. As a result, large quantities of PVC are imported annually. With current PVC production in Inner Mongolia at around 200,000 tons per year, there is a substantial market gap. The Yili Coal Gangue Comprehensive Utilization Project leverages local energy and resource advantages, giving the final product a strong cost advantage.
The project is planned in two phases, with the first phase aiming to build a 400,000 tons/year PVC plant, 400,000 tons/year ion-exchange membrane caustic soda, and related facilities. Construction began in April 2005, with an expected completion date in October 2006. By 2010, the full capacity of 1 million tons/year PVC is anticipated, making it the largest single-design capacity project in China.
Despite the cold weather in Erdos during the visit, the construction site remained active, with workers continuing their work in challenging conditions. Sinochem Shijianjian was responsible for several critical components, including desalination water feeding, polymerization, chemical preparation, wastewater treatment, VCM recovery, product packaging, and electrical systems. Since the start of construction in June, the team has overcome numerous challenges and made steady progress.
Sinochem Sanjian handled the cooling tower, chimney, and acetylene plant. They implemented strict safety protocols, ensuring a zero-accident record throughout the project. Meanwhile, Sinochem Shihua Chemical Construction Co., Ltd. managed the circulating water system, water purification station, captive power plant, and coal transportation. Their work has been praised by both the client and the supervisory unit for its efficiency and quality.
This project represents a major step forward in China’s chemical industry, combining strategic location, strong financial backing, and advanced engineering expertise to meet growing domestic demand.
