ECI Group Delivers Technical Training to Huayi Personnel

ECI Group recently delivered comprehensive training services for Guangxi Huayi Energy Chemical Co., Ltd.’s (Huayi), operations, technical, and maintenance personnel.

Huayi signed a licensing agreement to use ECI Group’s Hybrid Technology to build two 200kta EVA copolymer lines as part of their integrated plant in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. With construction progressing well, ECI Group’s technical team delivered training ahead of the commissioning and start-up phases.

The on-site training program at Huayi’s facility in China spanned three weeks and included:

  • Detailed review of the Process Design basis and technology basis
  • Product and applications training
  • Technology and operations unit theory training
  • Operations process, including start-up, shutdown, and normal operations
  • Quality assurance training

The training is designed to equip plant personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate the plant at optimal efficiency, ensuring the highest product quality and safety standards. The training forms part of ECI Group’s licensing package and is tailored to meet the individual needs of our licensees.

Special thanks to our technical team members—Dr Daping Li, Greg Johnson, Christopher Willy, and Sanjay Padhiar—for their excellent work in delivering the training. Huayi’s team was highly engaged, asking insightful technical questions and actively participating in the sessions.

ECI Group’s Hybrid Technology offering is unique in the industry as it allows for production of EVA and other high-value copolymers at capacities of 200 kta and higher, which was previously only possible with tubular reactors. Our Hybrid Technology offers the higher capacities of tubular lines with the expanded product capability of autoclave lines. In addition, ECI Group’s various proprietary design features and enhancements contribute to the overall effectiveness of the process and result in higher production with lower operating costs.

Huayi’s project utilizes ECI Group’s Hybrid Technology on two copolymer lines and will be capable of producing 400,000 tonnes per year of EVA.

ECI Group provided the technology, design, and training for the two lines, and will continue to provide support through commissioning, start-up, and production.
