Recently, upon receiving notices from local authorities and the project owner regarding the resumption of work, the coal tar and low-carbon alkane recycling department of Ningxia Baoting New Energy Co., Ltd. took proactive measures to ensure proper epidemic prevention and organized its staff to return to work. The Baoting coal tar and low-carbon alkanes recycling project commenced construction in June 2018. Through the joint efforts of all participating units, it took 18 months to successfully complete 37 individual projects, including coal tar hydrogenation, upgrading, and sulfur recovery, on January 2, 2020. The total investment for this project is estimated at 3.6 billion yuan; it will be developed in phases as part of a single planning scheme, covering an area of approximately 1,000 mu. Phase 1 of the project involves the construction of a coal tar hydrogenation unit with an annual capacity of 400,000 tons, a #1 refined coal tar upgrading unit with an annual capacity of 600,000 tons, a sulfur recovery unit with an annual capacity of 5,000 tons, a methanol cracking hydrogen production unit with a capacity of 2,000 standard cubic meters per hour, along with associated utility systems and auxiliary facilities. Phase 2 of the project entails the construction of a polymeric-grade propylene unit with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, a polypropylene unit with the same capacity, a butane derivatives production unit with an annual capacity of 330,000 tons, as well as associated utility systems and auxiliary facilities. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2020, with completion and operation set for the first half of 2022. Ningxia Baoyao New Energy Co., Ltd. was established in January 2016 with a registered capital of 400 million yuan. Aiming to make full use of the abundant coal and gas resources as well as the policy support available in the local area and its surroundings, the company invested in building a \"Coal Tar and Low-Carbon Alkanes Recycling Project\" within the New Materials Park of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, which is part of the \"Project No. 1\". This project uses medium- and low-temperature coal tar and low-carbon mixed alkanes as raw materials to produce chemical products such as benzenes, aromatics, and polypropylene. By recycling coal tar and low-carbon alkanes in an integrated manner, it not only increases the economic value of the products but also transforms waste into valuable resources, thereby promoting a circular economy and the expansion of the industrial chain.
