Progress of Beikong Ordos’ 4 billion cubic meter coal-to-natural gas project

There’s a lot of thunder but little rain; could those who are familiar with the situation please update us on the progress of the process package?

It has a somewhat symbolic image of work starting; as the weather gets colder in October, everyone leaves.

Recent news indicates that Beijing BEIKE Energy Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “BEIKE Energy”) plans to invest 300 million yuan in its 4 billion cubic meter coal-to-natural gas project in Ordos during 2019. To date, the geological survey of the area in front of the factory and the necessary land procedures have been completed. Land grading in the area in front of the factory began on August 8, with completion of the grading scheduled for mid-September. Completion of the construction of the wall and some supporting facilities is expected by the end of October. The office building, cafeteria, sports and cultural center, and dormitory buildings in the area in front of the factory are currently under design, with the intention to complete the tendering process for the general contract by the end of the year. The Beikong Energy Ordos coal-to-natural gas project is located in the Dali Industrial Park, Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Utilizing local coal resources and employing technologies such as pressurized gasification of crushed coal, pressurized gasification of pulverized coal, and methanation, it produces 4 billion standard cubic meters of synthetic natural gas per year. It mainly supplies cities in Beijing and its surrounding areas, while also ensuring the replacement of clean energy in Zhungeer Banner. The total investment amounts to 23.26 billion yuan. Construction contents: (1) Main project: 1 fixed-bed coal gasification under pressure production line, including units for coal gasification, phenol-ammonia recovery, shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, and methanation ； 3 fluidized bed coal gasification production lines, including units for coal gasification, shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, and methanation ； Air separation, coal preparation, sulfur recovery units, etc. (2) Auxiliary facilities: boiler rooms, storage and transportation systems, coal yards and coal depots, desalination stations, etc. (3) Environmental protection projects: sewage treatment, reclaimed water treatment, brine treatment, evaporation crystallization units, flare systems, hazardous waste temporary storage areas, etc. The main product of this project is 4 billion standard cubic meters per year of synthetic natural gas, along with by-products such as crude oil, tar, naphtha, sulfur, liquid ammonia, ammonium sulfate, crude phenol, industrial sodium chloride, and industrial sodium sulfate.
