Status of the units using CSFT synthetic oil technology / Author/Source: Coal Chemical Engineering 114 Forum / Date: 12-16-2019 / Clicks: 52. The CSFT synthetic oil technology and catalysts have been successfully applied in three commercial coal-to-oil demonstration plants with a capacity of 4 million tons per year each at Shenhua Ningmei, 1 million ton per year at Shanxi Lu’an, and another 1 million ton per year at Hangjinqi in Inner Mongolia, as well as in two coal-to-oil demonstration plants with a capacity of 160,000 tons per year each. The total production capacity is 6.32 million tons of oil products per year, accounting for over 80% of the domestic coal-to-oil market share. All the aforementioned devices have achieved stable operation under full (over) load conditions. Here are the details of several sets of devices. Shenhua Ningmei’s 4 million-ton coal-to-oil project utilizes Ningmei’s pulverized coal gasification technology, a pre-heated waste boiler plus a two-stage sulfur-resistant shift process with low water vapor ratios, Lurgi’s low-temperature methanol washing for purification, and CAS’s medium-temperature slurry-bed F-T synthesis along with product processing technologies. Driving in December 2016. Full capacity operation was achieved in December 2017. This marks the first application of Zhongke’s slurry-bed synthetic oil technology on a scale of one million tons, following its use in Inner Mongolia’s Yitai plant for 160,000 tons per year of coal-based indirect liquefaction of oil, and in Shanxi’s Lu’an plant for 160,000 tons per year of oil production from coal. The 1.2 million tons per year fine chemicals demonstration project of Inner Mongolia Yitai Chemical Co., Ltd. utilizes the USTC high-temperature slurry-bed medium-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology and the CASIC pressurized coal gasification technology. On July 7, 2017, a one-time test run was successful, the entire process was completed, and qualified products were produced. On September 14 of the same year, the air intake volume of the entire plant reached its designed full capacity, achieving an excellent result of reaching full operational capacity within 100 days from the start of operation. The integrated demonstration project for the clean utilization of high-sulfur coal in Shanxi Lu’an, covering oil production, chemical processing, and thermal applications, utilizes Shell’s powder coal gasification and purification technologies, as well as PSA technology for hydrogen production from exhaust gases. It also employs Sinochem’s iron-based high-temperature slurry-bed F-T synthesis oil technology, along with processes for processing iron-based and cobalt-based oils, enabling an annual output of 1.1769 million tons of oil products. The entire process was completed in December 2017. In September 2018, both production lines were operating at full capacity throughout the entire process. Shanxi Lu’an Group’s 160,000-ton coal-based synthetic oil demonstration project utilizes the F-T synthesis technology developed by the Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and employs cobalt-based fixed-bed and iron-based slurry-bed synthesis reactors. Driving in 2008. The 160,000 tons per year coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project in Inner Mongolia’s Yitai utilizes the multi-feed slurry gasification technology developed by the Northwest Research Institute, as well as the coal-based slurry-bed synthetic oil technology jointly developed by the Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry under the Chinese Academy of Sciences; it was completed in 2009.
