On March 19, the integrated project of De Lin Chemical Co., Ltd. in the China (Yunnan) Free Trade Pilot Zone (hereinafter referred to as De Lin Chemical) commenced construction in Yangchang Town, Xuanwei City. The total investment in this project is around 5 billion yuan, with the project covering an area of approximately 1,500 mu. The 2.32 million-ton coking transformation and upgrading project (Phase I) of Delin Chemical Co., Ltd. in the Yunnan Free Trade Pilot Zone is located in the Yangchang Industrial Park of Xuanwei Economic and Technological Development Zone in Yunnan. This project is part of a plan for the transformation and upgrading of coking operations through capacity replacement. The coking capacity comes from the replacement of production capacities among three coking plants: Qujing Malong Minglong Coking Industry Co., Ltd., whose SH43D type coke ovens produce 700,000 tons per year; Fuyuan Xinde Coking Co., Ltd., whose CHD98 type coke ovens produce 400,000 tons per year; and Luoping Xinwang Coal Chemical Co., Ltd., whose TJL5550D type coke ovens produce 1.3 million tons per year. The project will be completed over a 3-year period in three phases: Phase 1 requires an investment of 2 billion yuan to build 2 x 60-chamber ZHJL5552D type ramming coke ovens, with an annual production capacity of 1.16 million tons of coking coal. Supporting facilities include coal storage areas, coal preparation units, coke storage areas, cooling systems, desulfurization units, ammonium sulfate production facilities, crude benzene processing units, and systems for recycling coke plant wastewater. Additionally, the remaining coke oven gas will be used to establish a lime production line with an annual output of 200,000 tons; facilities for recovering waste heat and supplying the remaining gas externally will also be built. Completion and commissioning of this phase are expected by the end of 2021 ； The second-phase investment amounts to 2 billion yuan: it will involve the construction of production lines for 1.16 million tons of coking coal, 100,000 tons of glass wool, and 20 million glass wine bottles. Construction is expected to begin in January 2022, with completion and operation set for the end of 2022 ； Phase 3 involves an investment of 1 billion yuan: it will cover the construction of facilities for the deep processing of coal tar, needle coke production, waste heat recovery, a coal mine with a capacity of 600,000 tons, and a coal washing plant with the same capacity. Construction is expected to begin in January 2023, with completion and operation set for the end of 2023. Once the project is fully completed and operational, it is expected to generate an annual output value of 6.8 billion yuan, pay 280 million yuan in taxes, and create 1,800 job opportunities. On the morning of August 5, 2020, Yangchang Coal Mine and Delin Chemical held a signing ceremony for the agreement in the conference room on the third floor of Yangchang Coal Mine’s headquarters, where they signed the framework cooperation agreement on site. De Lin Chemical Company is located in Malong District, Qujing City. Due to adjustments in the company’s development strategy and environmental protection regulations, after thorough consideration, it was decided to relocate to the Yangchang Industrial Park in Yangchang Town, Xuanwei City. The company plans to invest in building a facility there covering an area of around 1,500 mu, capable of producing 2.5 million tons per year of coking products using 6.0m rammed coke ovens, along with the necessary supporting facilities.
