Start running right from the beginning. As the new year begins, the production sites and sales teams of Lu’an Chemical Tianji Group (hereinafter referred to as Tianji Group) are filled with a spirit of hard work and dedication. With the careful organization and coordinated efforts of the dispatch and control center, Plant 3 for compound fertilizers operates at full capacity to produce urea-ammonium nitrate solutions. The sales company plans to organize their transportation to the ports, working together to make every effort to prepare for the first export order by 2026. Tianji Group seizes opportunities and closely follows market demands to inject new vitality into traditional industries. This new product, the urea-ammonium nitrate solution, will be added to Tianji’s product portfolio in 2025 to expand the industrial chain; through coordinated production and sales, exports are expected to exceed 100,000 tons per year, becoming a new source of economic growth for Tianji Group. Traditional industries are the foundation for the development of new forms of productive forces. Tianji Group adheres to leveraging technology and product innovation as key drivers to explore new pathways for increasing product value. Practice has shown that the successful export of this new product, the urea-ammonium nitrate solution, has fully utilized the production capacity of the ammonium nitrate facilities, effectively reduced the sales pressure in the domestic market for ammonium nitrate, further enhanced the competitiveness of Tianji’s products, and simultaneously generated considerable cash flow for the company. This is precisely the manifestation of \"new quality productive forces\". When the opportunity arises, act quickly – create new demands and open up new markets. In August 2025, Tianji Group’s Henan Energy and Chemical Group Chemical Sales Co., Ltd. signed its first sales contract for 22,000 tons of urea-ammonium nitrate solution, to be exported to Argentina. The first export sale of the urea-ammonium nitrate solution holds significant strategic importance for enhancing the reputation and market share of the Tianji brand in international markets. Tianji Group attaches great importance to the production and sales of urea-ammonium nitrate solution; it immediately held a special meeting to coordinate production activities and made detailed arrangements on the ground. Careful plans were put in place for everything from sample testing and product specifications to production and storage, product quality inspection, loading and shipment, as well as logistical support, all to ensure that the urea-ammonium nitrate solution is delivered in high quality. “Upon receiving the task, and taking into account the actual conditions of the company’s facilities, relevant departments were immediately organized to get started on the work. By referring to the process used for preparing urea-ammonium nitrate solutions, a scientific production plan for preparing ‘solid urea + ammonium nitrate solution’ was developed. At the same time, product analysis methods are established to ensure the continuous stability of product quality. ”Li Jinzhong, deputy chief engineer of Tianji Group and director of the Dispatching and Command Center, explained. The spirit of hard work and dedication is fully demonstrated at critical moments. Under the unified coordination of the scheduling and command center, with Fufang No. 3 Factory as the main production unit, the Planning and Control Department and the Quality Inspection Department as the entities responsible for measurement and inspection, and the sales company as the business unit, the ammonium nitrate factory, the Procurement and Supply Center, the Potash Company, and the Fine Chemicals Company work together in coordination to ensure high-quality production. This setup guarantees that vehicles can be loaded and shipped continuously within 24 hours of arrival at the factory, enabling timely loading onto ships and delivery according to the scheduled times. Improve the quality of supply to meet user needs. The successful delivery of the first order yielded valuable experience, which created conditions for subsequent orders, laid a foundation, enhanced the company’s reputation, and helped to acquire new customers. Achieving optimal development through full sales; the statement that “new products become new drivers of economic growth” clearly illustrates the inevitable shift in economic development from being driven by factors to being driven by innovation. Cui Jinyang, head of the Import and Export Department at Tianji Group’s Sales Company, is full of confidence in the sales of urea-ammonium nitrate solutions. He said proudly that after the first order of urea-ammonium nitrate solution was successfully shipped, three more orders were placed in quick succession. Leveraging the brand influence of Tianji, the competitiveness of its products in the market, and its ability to serve customers effectively, in November 2025 it succeeded in identifying overseas clients on its own, entered into a strategic partnership with a foreign company, and signed an agreement for direct exports. On December 29, 2025, the sales company successfully completed the delivery of its first self-managed export order, amounting to 32,000 tons. The successful completion of these export orders not only improved the efficiency of sales and operations for urea-ammonium nitrate solutions, but also helped to establish the Tianji brand as a high-quality, professional one in overseas markets, laying a solid foundation for further expansion into international markets. The sales company of Tianji Group takes overall control of the entire process related to export operations, including the preparation of customs documents for orders, foreign exchange settlements, and tracking of overseas logistics. This approach effectively avoids the industry-related problems such as information delays and unclear responsibility assignments that occur under an agency model. It is worth noting that Tianji Group has certain advantages in the self-export of its products. It is understood that Tianji Group is the only coal chemical enterprise in Shanxi Province to have obtained the advanced AEO certification from the customs, allowing it to enjoy various conveniences such as scheduled customs clearance, batch inspections, priority handling during inspections, and rapid release of goods during the legal inspection and customs declaration processes. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of cargo handling and consolidation at ports, but also provides customers with more flexibility and time in terms of maritime shipping, port storage, payment processing, and other aspects. Take the initiative and seize new opportunities. Cui Jinyang said that planning in advance and making thorough preparations helps to ensure timely shipping and meet customer needs. He is even more confident about the sales of urea ammonium nitrate solution in 2026. Building on a careful summary of successful experiences, he aims to strengthen customer partnerships, consolidate the product market, and expand the base of end-users, thereby generating optimal benefits for the group company. It has a production capacity of 40,000 tons per month. It must produce as much as is sold in the market. Shen Liping, the head of Tianji Group’s Fertilizer Plant No. 3, said that the plant currently has the capacity to produce 40,000 tons per month of urea-ammonium nitrate solution. Fertilizer Plant No. 3 focuses on the core production units of the urea-ammonium nitrate solution plant, adopting a management approach based on detailed process control, coordinated operations among different positions, and proactive risk management to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the plant, thereby providing solid support for ensuring a steady supply of products. Fertilizer Plant No. 3 carefully organizes every stage of production, strictly controls product quality, and maintains production equipment meticulously to ensure it remains in optimal operating condition at all times. Through the joint efforts of all employees, the production efficiency of urea-ammonium nitrate solutions continues to improve, and the product quality remains stable and reliable. Fertilizer Plant No. 3 actively establishes a management system based on leadership oversight and inter-departmental collaboration, implements a safeguard system centered on technical upgrades and process control, clarifies responsibilities, optimizes operational procedures, and ensures safe and stable production. At the same time, standardized operating procedures are strictly followed; different mixing ratios are used for ammonium nitrate solutions of varying concentrations. A dual-loading mechanism is employed to ensure accurate measurement, and standardized practices throughout the entire process guarantee a stable supply, thereby significantly reducing safety risks during unloading. Currently, the operating parameters of the urea-ammonium nitrate solution system are at their optimal level, achieving a new high in terms of production efficiency and product quality. Move forward, climb higher. New drivers of economic growth rely on the transformation of resource advantages and a positive interaction fostered by coordinated and unified development.
