Successful first-run trial of a new coal-to-oil project by Future Energy; Author/Source: Coal Chemical Engineering 114 Forum; Date: 2020-10-04; Clicks: 25. On September 25, the project focused on the comprehensive utilization of ammonia from the condensate system in the purification unit of Future Energy’s coal-to-oil subsidiary was successfully tested during its first run, with qualified products being produced on October 1. Overview of the comprehensive ammonia utilization project: With a total investment of over 43 million yuan, this project is located in the reserved area within Yankuang Yulin’s 1 million tons per year coal indirect liquefaction demonstration project. It covers an area of 1,750 square meters and represents a \"high-value project\" that Future Energy Company and its coal-to-oil division are committed to advancing. The high-purity ammonia and ammonium hydroxide produced by the project can fully meet the internal needs of the desulfurization and denitrification systems, saving over 7 million yuan in production costs each year. The project refines the low-concentration sulfur-containing ammonia water produced by the conversion unit into high-concentration ammonia water or high-purity ammonia gas. This not only reduces the amount of water entering the desulfurization system, helping to address the water balance issues in such systems, but also prevents equipment blockages and failures. As a result, the operational lifespan of the boiler flue gas desulfurization system is extended, and the efficiency of the environmental protection equipment is improved ； On the other hand, the recovered ammonia is used for flue gas denitration in boilers, and the high-purity ammonia water produced is used to adjust the pH value of demineralized water, thereby achieving comprehensive utilization of resources. The successful commissioning of the project has further enhanced the economic and stable operating capabilities of the coal-to-oil system, laying a foundation for the enterprise to achieve higher-quality development. It is reported that the design, procurement, and construction of this project are all handled by the general contractor, but since work began in September 2019, the Coal-to-Oil Branch has been pushing forward with this project as a key annual construction project. Faced with the practical difficulties in equipment procurement and project construction organization caused by the pandemic, the branch did not wait or rely on others, but provided unconditional support and cooperation in areas such as safety management, resource allocation, and personnel coordination. Especially after the project entered its critical construction phase, the staff in the purification workshop and the electrical and instrumentation workshop, while continuing to carry out routine maintenance of the existing systems, were involved throughout the entire process in key tasks such as installation, commissioning, and trial operation. The safety, technical, scheduling, and project management departments worked on-site to organize reviews of the trial operation plans and conduct safety inspections, thereby ensuring the safety of the project’s trial operations.
