On November 11th, the national key project—the main unit of Lutianhua’s 400,000-ton methanol and 100,000-ton dimethyl ether project—reached a significant milestone as the primary reformer's nitrogen system began warming up. This development marks a crucial step toward the completion of China’s first large-scale single-unit methanol production facility, signaling that the day when such a major industrial complex will be fully operational is drawing near.
As reporters visited the 290-mu construction site, they were immediately struck by the scale and energy of the operation. Towering structures, intricate pipeline networks, and powerful air compressors filled the air with noise, while hundreds of workers moved efficiently through the site. The project, which started in April 2004, was completed ahead of schedule—finishing a 24-month plan in just 18 months. The teams involved maintained the highest standards of quality and speed throughout the process.
Lu Hongsheng, vice president of Lutianhua Group and chairman of Lutianhua Luyuan Alcohol Co., Ltd., emphasized the strong market potential for methanol. With rising crude oil prices, demand for alternative fuels like dimethyl ether has surged. Methanol-based dimethyl ether is increasingly being used as a substitute for diesel and liquefied petroleum gas, making it a hot topic in the energy sector.
Lutianhua, historically known as a leader in urea production, has long dominated the nitrogen fertilizer market. However, with the growing popularity of compound fertilizers, the demand for urea is slowing down, increasing pressure on the industry. To ensure sustainable growth, the company is now focusing on diversification, turning its attention to non-fertilizer products like methanol and dimethyl ether.
This 400,000-ton methanol and 100,000-ton dimethyl ether project is part of Lutianhua’s broader strategy to develop the western region and strengthen its core competencies in natural gas chemistry. Zhao Zu, secretary of the Party Committee at Lutianhua Group, highlighted several key advantages: abundant natural gas resources in Sichuan, efficient use of existing infrastructure, cost-effective construction partnerships, and a lean technical team. Additionally, the project incorporates environmental safeguards, including noise-reduction measures to keep sound levels below 55 dB.
Luyuan Alcohol Co., Ltd., a joint-stock company controlled by Lutianhua and other partners, sees strong potential in the methanol market. Its products are strategically positioned to serve both East China and local Sichuan markets. According to Lu Yong, deputy general manager of the company, this project represents not only China’s first large-scale single-unit methanol plant but also the world’s largest dimethyl ether facility upon completion. With advanced technology and high-quality output, the project is setting new benchmarks in efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Currently, many large methanol projects are under construction across China, but few have reached the final stages of completion. In this context, Lutianhua is leading the way, positioning itself at the forefront of the industry’s next phase of development.
There are various types of back muscle fitness equipment, including but not limited to back tension machines, rowing machines, dumbbells and barbells, back stretchers, etc. These devices each have their own characteristics and can be used to exercise different muscle groups in the back, such as latissimus dorsi, trapezius, shoulder and back muscles, thereby comprehensively improving the strength and stability of the back.
1. Back tension machine: It can exercise different muscle groups on the back, such as latissimus dorsi, trapezius, etc. By adjusting the seat and handle, diversified tension training can be carried out at different angles and postures, effectively exercising the width and thickness of the back.
2. Rowing machine: It has a good training effect on the muscles of the back, shoulders, and arms. By adjusting the gear and posture, it can simulate rowing movements, strengthen the strength and endurance of the back and core muscles, and improve cardiovascular function.
3. Dumbbell and barbell exercises: Through different dumbbell and barbell movements, targeted exercises can be performed on the back muscles, such as dumbbell rowing, hard pulling, and flat rowing, to help enhance the strength and stability of the latissimus dorsi and trapezius muscles.
4. Back Stretcher: In addition to exercising the strength of the back muscles, stretching is also an important part of maintaining back health and maintaining correct posture. By doing stretching exercises, one can stretch the back muscles, relieve tension, and promote blood circulation, which helps prevent back pain and injuries.
When using these devices, it is important to maintain the correct posture and movements, and gradually increase the weight and difficulty to gradually improve the strength and endurance of the back muscles. By implementing a reasonable training plan and using it correctly, the strength, definition, and flexibility of the back can be effectively improved.
