Tianze Coal Chemical Achieved Outstanding Results in 2021 Author/Source: Shanxi Tianze Coal Chemical Group Date: 2022-01-11 Clicks: 10 In 2021, the coal chemical industry pressed forward despite difficulties and planned for development in the face of challenges. It implemented strict measures to control the spread of infectious diseases, and dealt scientifically with various adverse factors such as the start-up of operations in cold weather, tight coal supply, severe rainfall events, and soaring prices of raw coal. By focusing on meticulous management of production safety, environmental protection, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, product sales, and project construction, the industry managed to overcome numerous obstacles and achieve remarkable results. Throughout the year, a total of 1.4938 million tons of synthetic ammonia, 2.39 million tons of urea, 104,500 tons of methanol were produced, and 81.6302 million kWh of electricity was generated from waste heat ； The total industrial output value reached 5.78 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.74%, marking the first time it surpassed the 5-billion-yuan mark ； Profit reached 905 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 154.93% ； Taxes paid amounted to 264 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 156.31% ； Employee salaries continue to experience double-digit growth. The total industrial output value, profits, taxes paid, and overall employee earnings all reached record levels for the company, creating a favorable momentum for a strong start to the 14th Five-Year Plan period and laying a solid foundation for the company’s high-quality transformation and development. I. Strengthen safety risk management and control, raise the safety awareness of all employees, and effectively prevent accidents in production. In line with the higher requirements set by the central government, provincial and municipal authorities regarding production safety, the company actively promotes and implements new safety laws and regulations such as the New \"Production Safety Law\" and the \"Shanxi Province Production Safety Regulations.\" It strictly enforces various production safety management systems and responsibility frameworks, refines emergency response measures, and strives to enhance the capabilities for early warning of safety risks and coordinated emergency responses ； Carry out in-depth activities such as safety training, knowledge competitions, speech contests, and emergency drills, to continuously strengthen the company’s foundational work in safety areas such as risk identification, risk assessment, and risk prevention, and to further enhance the safety awareness, safety responsibilities, and safety skills of all employees ； We firmly uphold the management philosophy that \"safety is the greatest form of savings and the greatest source of benefits,\" and earnestly implement the safety management principle that \"potential hazards are accidents, and violations of regulations are crimes.\" By regularly carrying out inspections and rectifications of potential hazards, the situation regarding safe production continues to improve. II. Adhering to the bottom-line principle that \"if environmental protection is not ensured, nothing else can be ensured.\" The company always gives top priority to environmental protection efforts, strictly following key regulatory requirements such as the provincial government’s \"Notice on the 2021 Action Plan for Improving Air Quality in Shanxi Province\" and the municipal environmental protection bureau’s \"Requirements for Air Pollution Control in Coal Chemical Enterprises in 2021\" as well as the \"Notice on Intensifying Air Pollution Control in Key Polluting Industries.\" It actively pursues comprehensive management of air, water, and solid waste pollution in order to reduce emissions of various pollutants ； Upgrades such as the sealing of sludge thickening tanks, the standardized modification of vehicle disinfection facilities, and ultra-low emission systems for coal-fired boilers were completed. The construction of 23 units designed to switch from direct cooling to indirect cooling was advanced, along with the commissioning of gas-based systems, thereby further enhancing the capacity for environmental protection and management ； The new standards set by environmental protection authorities for pollutant control are strictly implemented. Grid-based management of environmental protection is continuously strengthened, and long-term mechanisms for environmental protection work are improved. Regular maintenance of environmental protection facilities and supervision of emissions are enhanced, and the emission benchmark system is refined to ensure that all such facilities operate properly and stably and meet emission standards, thereby effectively preventing environmental accidents. III. Work together to address the prominent issues in the production process, thereby creating favorable conditions for the system to operate stably, with high output, low consumption, and efficiency. Seizing the golden period for profitability, the company carried out thorough planning for equipment maintenance and measures to prevent freezing and blockages during the periods when production was suspended due to environmental regulations. This ensured that the production facilities were ready to operate at any time. When production resumed amid severe cold and snowstorms, everyone upheld the company’s fine tradition of courage and determination in facing tough challenges, and managed to restart the operations safely and smoothly during winter ； When there is a shortage of coal supply, everyone works together actively to coordinate and expand procurement channels, ensuring a continuous supply and maintaining stable full-capacity operation at all times ； When continuous heavy rainfall caused prolonged disruptions to railway transportation, the company kept track of market trends, formulated sales strategies accordingly, increased efforts in road transport sales as necessary, and adjusted inventory levels at various stations in a timely manner, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of production halts due to excessive inventory buildup ； When the price of raw coal soared, severely affecting production and operations, the company’s Party committee took proactive action by decisively ordering a suspension of production to prevent further losses, thereby avoiding a period of high risk involving substantial losses. By strictly supervising and inspecting process parameters, equipment operation, as well as maintenance activities, prominent issues are effectively resolved, creating favorable conditions for the long-term stable operation of the production system and providing a solid guarantee for seizing the golden period for profitability. IV. Further enhanced the core competitiveness in sales management. The company has developed innovative sales models and adopted a system focused on key customers for road transport sales, thereby effectively addressing challenges such as concentrated urea production capacity in the region, high product homogenization, and aggressive competition. Throughout the year, a total of 1.127 million tons of urea were sold via road transport, an increase of 183,000 tons compared to 2020, representing a growth rate of 19.4% ； Road freight sales generated an additional profit of 157 million yuan compared to rail freight sales ； A \"four-in-one\" market monitoring system was established to enhance the analysis and forecasting of market trends. Statistical charts showing urea sales price trends, urea sales volume trends, urea inventory levels in certain domestic regions, and trends in urea shipments by rail were created. Close attention was paid to any changes in the market, resulting in a 282,000-ton decrease in rail shipments throughout the year compared to the previous year ； In light of the actual circumstances of the company’s sales management, efforts were made to enhance standardized and scientific management; 15 management systems were improved over time. The company primarily relied on buyout sales throughout the year, which further strengthened its core competitive advantages, resulting in a production-sales ratio of 99.1% and a payment collection rate of 100%. V. Solidly advance efforts to reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises. The company firmly upholds the philosophy of living frugally, always treating cost reduction and efficiency improvement as key tasks.
