On August 18th, Wulanchabu Xufeng Heyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Henan Xi Baoye Materials Group Co., Ltd., and China National Chemical Engineering Corporation’s 13th Construction Company held a signing ceremony for the general contract regarding the second phase of the project to produce 500,000 tons of methanol per year using blast furnace gas, as well as the new coking project with an annual capacity of 3 million tons. The second phase of Ulanqab Xufeng Heyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.’s project for producing methanol from blast furnace gas at a capacity of 500,000 tons per year, along with a new coking plant with a capacity of 3 million tons per year, are located in the Tianpishan Industrial Park in Chayouqian Banner, Ulanqab City. The total investment for these projects is approximately 2 billion yuan. Among them, the second-phase project for producing 500,000 tons per year of methanol from electric arc furnace gas involves using the by-product of the company’s existing ferroalloy production facilities, namely electric arc furnace gas, to produce methanol with high added value. This approach enables rational and efficient use of energy, helps to avoid waste and environmental pollution, and facilitates industrial upgrading. The construction scope of the 500,000 tons/year Phase II project for producing methanol from blast furnace gas includes facilities such as gas holders, methanol synthesis units, gas/syngas compression systems, precision desulfurization units, shift reactors, decarburization units, hydrogen recovery systems, methanol distillation units, methanol storage tanks, external pipes for process heating, process circulating water systems, as well as vehicle loading/unloading stations. This includes approximately 280 pieces of mechanical and electrical equipment, around 50,000 meters of pipelines, and about 450,000 meters of cables. The construction scope of the new 3 million tons per year coking project includes: a coal preparation workshop, a coking workshop, a chemical products workshop, a purification and recovery workshop, and a machinery repair workshop; each workshop contains several smaller units.
