Ningxia Baofeng Energy plans to build a \"3 million tons per year coal coking integrated production project\". Author/Source: Coal Chemical Industry 114 Forum. Date: February 18, 2021. Clicks: 53. Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. intends to invest 340 million yuan to construct this \"3 million tons per year coal coking integrated production project\" within the existing factory premises in Area B of the Baofeng Energy Circular Economy Industrial Park, located in the Linhe Industrial Zone of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. The main components of this project include the construction of new coking and chemical product recovery systems, the establishment of a new needle coke production system, the expansion of benzene hydrogenation capacity, and the expansion of the tar processing facility’s capacity. The construction capacities are 3 million tons per year for coking, 100,000 tons per year for needle coke; the existing benzene hydrogenation plant with a capacity of 100,000 tons per year will have its capacity increased to 120,000 tons per year; while the existing tar processing plant with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year will be expanded to 400,000 tons per year. Recently, the Cooling Technology Company of China National Chemical Engineering Corporation’s 13th Construction Company received a winning bid notice from Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. for the supply of cooling towers and recirculating water side filters for the coal coking integrated production project with an annual capacity of 3 million tons, as well as mechanical exhaust counterflow cooling tower equipment for the methanol production facility associated with the 500,000-ton/year coal-to-olefins project (Sections 1, 2, and 3). The scope of work includes the construction of 35 cooling towers along with the corresponding filter equipment for these projects. The 3 million tons per year coking cogeneration project initiated by Baofeng Energy will utilize 6.25-meter ramming coking units, corresponding chemical product recovery systems, as well as auxiliary facilities. The project features a high degree of integration; its downstream industrial chain is well-developed. The raw coal used has a wide range of applications and high utilization efficiency, resulting in significant scale advantages and stronger profitability. In April 2020, Baofeng Energy’s 3 million tons per year coal coking integrated production project was officially launched as one of the first major projects in the Ningdong base for that year. Once the project is completed and put into operation, the company’s coke production capacity will reach 7 million tons per year, making it one of the largest independent coking enterprises in China and contributing to the development of the coke industry in a direction that emphasizes clean and efficient production methods.
