Site of Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group’s 4 million tons per year coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project. http://p3.pstatp.com/large/213a00028fe051fddd8f In the central control room of the coal-to-oil project, the crew monitors the production status closely. http://p9.pstatp.com/large/213b000580114617416d Products of the coal-to-oil project. Recently, a reporter visited the gasification plant, which is part of the core production area of Shenhua Ningmei Group’s coal-to-oil facility located in the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. There, 28 gasification units were situated along a 1.4-kilometer-long road. “This massive structure, with a diameter of 4 meters, a height of 21.6 meters, and a total weight of 289.25 tons, is the ‘Shenning Furnace’ independently developed by the workers at Ningxia Coal Company. ”When they arrived at a huge gasifier, Huang Bin, the company’s chief engineer, pointed proudly at the furnace and said, “The ‘Shenning Furnace’ is one of the key units in the coal-to-oil project. It isn’t picky; it can process various types of coal efficiently, unlike foreign gasifiers that can only handle ‘high-quality coal’.” ”Recently, the “Shenning Furnace” underwent its first trial run of the year. Despite having worked with this furnace for 8 years, Huang Bin still felt very nervous when the operator pressed the Start button. The entire gasification process proceeded very smoothly, achieving the miracle of a successful commissioning and trial run on the first attempt. To further test the \"potential\" of the \"Shenning Furnace,\" Huang Bin and his team increased the pressure on the furnace to 110%, and after a week, all operational parameters were at excellent levels. “During the testing period, more than 10 experts from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation came to inspect the equipment; upon seeing the test and evaluation results, they signed a purchase contract on the spot. ”Huang Bin said that to date, more than 10 companies have come to discuss purchase contracts, enabling domestic technology to turn the tables in competition against manufacturing giants from Europe, the United States, and Japan. “The “Shenning Furnace” provides a new approach for the clean utilization of low-quality coal. It is understood that the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base is one of the **14 key coal chemical industry bases that are being developed with priority. On September 28, 2013, the demonstration project for the indirect liquefaction of coal with an annual production capacity of 4 million tons, carried out by Shenhua Ningmei Group, officially commenced construction in Area A of the coal chemical industrial park located in that site. The project covers an area of over 800 hectares, and its completion and operation were scheduled for 2016. Upon completion of the project, it is expected to generate annual sales revenue of 26.6 billion yuan and an annual total profit and tax amount of 15.3 billion yuan. The workers at Ningxia Coal Company rolled up their sleeves and worked hard; by the end of April this year, Line A was capable of producing 3,300 tons of methanol and 4,700 tons of diesel per day, with 35,000 tons of coal being consumed daily. “By July 19 of this year, full-capacity production for Oil Product Line A will no longer be a dream. ”Wang Hongxia, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Coal-to-Oil Branch of Shenhua Ningmei Group, said with confidence.
