Commencement of the second-phase coking and comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas plus hydrogen production project at Inner Mongolia Heimao Coal Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. / Source: Coal Chemical Industry 114 Forum Date: October 16, 2020 Clicks: 10 On October 15, the commissioning of the first-phase project with a capacity of 2.6 million tons per year for coking and comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas at Inner Mongolia Heimao Coal Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., along with the commencement ceremony for the second-phase project involving coking, comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas, and hydrogen production, were held in the Qingshan Industrial Park in Wulat Houqi. Chang Zhigang, Secretary of the Bayannur Municipal Party Committee; Zhang Xiaobing, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor; Li Baoping, Chairman of Shaanxi Yellow River Mining (Group) Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Shaanxi Black Cat Coking Co., Ltd.; Batkhuyag, Consul General of the Mongolian Consulate General in Hohhot; Yan Peng, Director of the Municipal People’s Congress; Zhou Yulin, Chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference; as well as municipal leaders such as Zhao Hui, Haishan, Ren Yiqun, and Qiu Yonghong, attended the opening ceremony. Zhang Xiaobing announced the commissioning of the project. Inner Mongolia Heimaot Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Qingshan Industrial Park of Wulat Houqi. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary invested and controlled by Shaanxi Heimaot Coking Co., Ltd., and it represents a leading modern circular economy enterprise in China that focuses on energy conservation, environmental protection, and the comprehensive utilization of resources. The first-phase project, which involves the construction of a coking facility with a capacity of 2.6 million tons per year as well as comprehensive utilization facilities for coke oven gas, includes 2 coke ovens, each with 88 chambers and dimensions of 7.3 m × 600 mm. Together with the accompanying 300,000-ton-per-year methanol production plant and 80,000-ton-per-year synthetic ammonia plant, these elements constitute the core of the first-phase project. The overall design of this project is ahead of the domestic standards of the same period, and its production processes and procedures feature high levels of safety, environmental protection, sustainability, and economic efficiency. The total investment for the first-phase project is 5.524 billion yuan, with a construction period of 29 months. Once all the facilities are in full operation, the project will be able to produce 2.6 million tons of coke per year, 300,000 tons of methanol, 80,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, 112,700 tons of coal tar, 73,700 tons of ammonium sulfate, and 46,500 tons of crude benzene per year ； The average annual sales revenue is expected to be 4.737 billion yuan, while the average annual profit amount is expected to be 0.767 billion yuan. At present, the first phase of the project involving 2.6 million tons of coking capacity and comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas has been put into operation, while the second phase, which includes coking and comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas as well as hydrogen-related facilities, will commence construction on a full scale. Once both the first and second phases of the project are in operation, it will be possible to process 9 million tons of coal per year, producing 10 million tons of coke, 1.3 million tons of methanol, 160,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, as well as 600,000 tons of hydrogen as a by-product ； The average annual sales revenue is expected to be around 30 billion yuan, with an average annual profit of 3.6 billion yuan ； It can directly provide over 6,000 job opportunities. The comprehensive utilization project of coke oven gas at Inner Mongolia Black Cat Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is planned to be built in three phases, with a total investment of around 30 billion yuan and an area covering approximately 10,000 mu. The construction period for Phase 1 is 24 months. The project involves the processing of 6 million tons per year of refined coal and 2.6 million tons per year of metallurgical coke; it also produces 160,000 tons per year of chemical products such as tar, thiamine, and crude benzene. The excess coke oven gas is converted using pure oxygen to produce 300,000 tons per year of methanol, along with 80,000 tons per year of synthetic ammonia. Additionally, the facility is equipped with comprehensive environmental protection systems that include heating, power supply, gas supply, and biochemical treatment facilities. The project was fully launched on May 9, 2018; trial operations began at the end of 2019, and construction was completed in full by April 2020. The second phase is expected to require an investment of 6 billion yuan, with the aim of building facilities capable of producing 2.6 million tons of gasified coke and 2 million tons of methanol. Phase 3 construction of 10,000 tons of chemical coke. Upon full completion of the project, it is expected to generate an annual output value of around 50 billion yuan, as well as annual tax revenues of about 5 billion yuan.
