Recently, sustained heavy rainfall has forced the Pengfei Methanol Plant, located adjacent to the Wenyu River, to shut down completely. The Group has mobilized more than 800 personnel to launch an active self-rescue effort, conduct a comprehensive inspection and address flood‑related safety hazards, implement thorough sanitation and disease‑prevention measures in affected areas, and steadily advance post‑disaster resumption of work and production.

Recently, sustained heavy rainfall has forced the Pengfei Methanol Plant, located adjacent to the Wenyu River, to shut down completely. The group has mobilized more than 800 personnel to carry out emergency self-rescue efforts, conduct thorough inspections and address flood‑related safety hazards, implement sanitation and disease‑prevention measures in affected areas, and steadily advance post‑disaster resumption of work and production.

The factory premises are clean and well-organized, with the steady rumble of machinery echoing throughout. Instrument readings have gradually returned to normal. Following an emergency shutdown at 3:00 a.m. on the 7th due to ongoing rainfall, the methanol plant has now fully resumed operations. By 8:00 a.m. on the 13th, all process sections were ready, and the methanol plant was brought back online in full.

On the afternoon of the 12th, inside the methanol plant’s central control center, monitoring operators kept their eyes fixed on the scrolling screens, promptly verifying conditions via intercom. Before the full‑process display, Yan Peng, deputy head of the Production Department, meticulously checked each stage one by one, visibly excited as he gestured toward the segments already running smoothly. If the methanol workshop can successfully receive gas, it will signify that the entire process has been fully unblocked; the next step is to optimize the system, ensuring that every link operates safely and in an orderly manner.

At the entrance of Distribution Room No. 260, workers were still carrying out the final cleaning and tidying-up tasks, and the safety‑production posters in the LNG workshop had already been replaced promptly. Even longtime Pengfei employees had never witnessed such a flood disaster. The methanol plant has set an exemplary example through proactive self‑rescue efforts; now it is working at full speed to resume production, ensuring full‑capacity output of clean energy so that the public can enjoy a warm winter.

Following the major disaster, we will take proactive measures to prevent a large-scale epidemic. The Group will conduct comprehensive and intensive disinfection throughout the factory premises, carry out monitoring and testing of water sources and food supplies, and ensure the proper disinfection and safe disposal of waste and sludge, thereby rigorously preventing secondary outbreaks and further harm caused by flood‑related disasters and fully safeguarding the health and safety of our employees.

During this vigorous self‑rescue effort, all cadres and employees of the methanol plant fully embodied the “36‑Hour Spirit.” Many who worked regular shifts, upon finishing their shifts, voluntarily joined the flood‑control and emergency‑response efforts, remaining on site for several days without returning home. “Culture is productivity”—behind each dedicated individual shines the brilliance of Pengfei’s corporate culture, as unity, solidarity, and unwavering determination come together to build an unshakable bulwark of safety for the Group’s people and assets. With their concrete actions, Pengfei employees have demonstrated that they are loyal stewards of the company, relentless pursuers of their goals, and dream‑chasers who regard Pengfei as their true home.
