Views: 19. A few days ago, reporters visited the Zhongtian Hechuang coal deep-processing demonstration project located in the Tuk Industrial Park in Wushen Banner for an interview. Upon entering the factories and workshops, they heard the loud noise of machines; on the production lines, bags of polypropylene products were quickly packaged by the machinery and presented to the reporters. exterior view of the project. Reporters learned that as a **model project for the deep processing of coal and the largest integrated coal chemical project currently built in China, the Zhongtian Hechuang Coal Deep Processing Model Project, after several years of construction, is expected to begin full commercial operation in July this year. The project includes a control room, production lines, and polypropylene products. The total investment in the Zhongtian Hechuang Ordos Coal Deep Processing Demonstration Project is approximately 60 billion yuan. Among them, the total designed coal production capacity is 25 million tons per year ； The total production capacity of the chemical engineering design is 3.6 million tons per year of methanol (an intermediate product), as well as 1.37 million tons per year of polyethylene and polypropylene plastic products. This project is a **confirmed demonstration project for advanced coal processing; it features the largest coal-to-olefins facility currently under construction in China, and it is also the largest coal-to-olefins project in the world. In 2013, a methanol production project with an annual capacity of 3.6 million tons was approved by the Autonomous Region’s Development and Reform Commission ； In 2014, the associated Mengqing Coal Mine (12 million tons per year) and Hulusu Coal Mine (13 million tons per year) received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission, which also granted permission for the construction of coal washing plants of similar capacity. In October 2016, the first production series of the plant’s chemical units completed the entire process and produced qualified polyolefin products; the project is set to go into commercial operation this July. Once the project is fully operational, it is expected to be able to convert 8 million tons of coal locally each year, generating annual sales revenue of 18.5 billion yuan and annual profits and taxes of around 10 billion yuan, resulting in significant economic benefits. The overall efficiency of clean energy conversion is above 44%, and the fresh water consumption is less than 3 tons per ton of standard coal; this is of great significance for promoting local economic development and facilitating the clean and efficient use of coal.

On June 29, Ling Yiqun, vice president of Sinopec Group, and his team visited the Zhongtian Hechuang coal deep processing demonstration project to conduct inspections and provide guidance, and held an on-site meeting. The meeting was chaired by Zhang Ruisheng, deputy director of Sinopec’s Chemicals Division. Zhang Xiguo, General Manager of Zhongtian Hechuang Chemical Branch, reported on the overall progress of the project, production and operations, as well as the progress of commissioning Line 2. Seven construction units, including Ningbo Engineering Company and Engineering Construction Company, reported on the unfinished work on site and the progress of project rectification. Professional companies, representatives from various headquarters departments, as well as leaders of Zhongtian Hechuang’s branches and various project contractors had in-depth discussions, conducted a thorough analysis of the problems faced by the project, and offered suggestions. Ling Yiqun pointed out that at this critical stage when the project is about to enter commercial operation, Zhongtian Hechuang and all parties involved must maintain their confidence and not become discouraged. At present, Zhongtian Hechuang is moving in the direction of a positive cycle. Going forward, all parties involved in the project must fully embrace the spirit of \"one family, one heart, one goal, one effort,\" and remain focused on the goal of fully commissioning the production facilities by July 26th. “We must persevere to overcome the \"last mile\"; everyone needs to work together with one heart and one mind, understand each other, and work together to overcome difficulties. The goal of fully commissioning the production facility by July 26 must not be delayed; any delay will lead to problems and greater losses. Zhongtian Hechuang needs to exercise strong management and fulfill its responsibilities as a property owner, without being afraid of offending others.
