Recently, Li Jinping, chairman and party secretary of Lu’an Group, convened a coordination meeting to prepare for the start-up of the 180-ton project, to review the progress of these preparations and to address any existing issues. At present, about 85% of the overall commissioning work for the project has been completed, with operation scheduled to begin by the end of August. Responsible persons from relevant departments of Lu’an Group and those in charge of the construction units attended the meeting. Li Jinping pointed out that Project 180 is the top priority for the transformation and development of Shanxi Province, as well as a model project for resource-based enterprises and regions to explore transformation and upgrading. All construction units must work together with Lu’an, uphold their mission and responsibilities, and fulfill their duties diligently. With a strong sense of dedication and responsibility, they should make every effort to advance the construction and commissioning of the project without delay. Li Jinping emphasized the need to adhere to the principles of systematic advancement and key breakthroughs, to firmly focus on the three core aspects of safety, quality, and environmental protection, and to concentrate efforts on the three key areas of gasification, synthesis, and railway transportation capacity. All available resources should be deployed to ensure that all preparatory work is completed before the project starts operating ； It is necessary to adhere to the principle of handling special cases on a case-by-case basis. In line with the requirements of modern scheduling management, a fast and efficient communication and coordination mechanism should be established to address existing issues promptly, ensuring that the commissioning work progresses in an orderly and effective manner, with the goal of achieving successful operation at the earliest possible time. Xiao Yaning, the deputy general manager, called on all construction units and coal-based clean energy companies to share a common vision and work together as one, adhering to the standards related to safety and environmental protection. They were instructed to carry out all preparatory tasks in a safe and efficient manner, in strict accordance with the scheduled timelines and work plans, so as to ensure the successful first trial run of the project. The meeting provided an update on the overall commissioning progress of the project, and coordinated solutions to existing issues related to funding, personnel, and railway transportation. At present, about 85% of the overall commissioning work for the project has been completed, with operation scheduled to begin by the end of August. The project’s solid storage and transportation systems, the thermal power plant’s Unit 3, the regulation reservoirs, the air compressor station, the deoxygenated water station, the circulating water plant, as well as Turbines No. 1 and No. 2 of the air separation unit are all operating normally. Systems such as instrument air, plant air, fire water, circulating water, demineralized water, process water, domestic water, 0.8MPa nitrogen, 8.6MPa nitrogen, and sewage biological treatment have been put into normal operation. The integrated demonstration project for the clean utilization of high-sulfur coal for oil, chemical, and thermal applications in Shanxi Lu’an is located in the Wangqiao Industrial Park, Xiangyuan County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. It was invested and constructed by Shanxi Lu’an Mining (Group) Co., Ltd., and it represents a key project focused on during the 12th Five-Year Plan period, as well as a crucial initiative for Shanxi Province’s industrial structure transformation. Using coal with high sulfur, high ash content, and high ash fusion point as raw material, the project employs the SHELL dry powder gasification process to achieve a technological breakthrough with the first powder gasifier having a capacity of 3,000 tons per day. At the same time, the Fe-based high-temperature slurry-bed F-T synthetic oil technology with complete independent intellectual property rights developed by CAS is employed.
