Author/Source: Coal Tar Deep Processing and Hydrogenation Technology Collaboration Group Date: 2021-07-12 Clicks: 98 On July 10, Inner Mongolia Hengkun Chemical Co., Ltd. held a review meeting for the preliminary design of system optimization aimed at achieving full production capacity and efficiency. Ren Jianguo, the deputy chief engineer of the group company, heads of relevant departments, industry experts from Inner Mongolia Energy, Hengkun Chemical, and Baofeng Energy, as well as staff from Zhongliansheng Design Institute attended the meeting in person at the main venue, while representatives from other departments of the group company participated via video link. The attendees listened to a presentation by Beijing Zhongliansheng Design Institute on the preliminary design for optimizing the production and efficiency of Hengkun Chemical’s facilities, carefully reviewed the preliminary design of the project, and held in-depth discussions, ultimately forming review comments. Next, the preliminary design modifications will be completed as soon as possible based on the review comments, and a series of tasks such as project approval and bidding, as well as construction, will be carried out in an orderly manner. At the same time, the company strictly adheres to the principles of addressing urgent matters first, implementing projects in phases, and giving priority to projects that ensure safety and environmental protection. It accelerates the progress of the flue gas desulfurization and denitrification project for the new coke ovens, organizes project review meetings, invites experts from Tai’an Yangguang Tianrun Chemical as well as design firms to the site, and also invites industry experts from companies such as CNOOC and MCC Coke & Refractory to participate via video conference. The company listens in detail to the design firm’s explanations regarding the project’s technical aspects, and conducts a thorough analysis of the project’s processes based on the actual conditions of Hengkun Chemical, thereby forming review opinions that ensure the stable and reliable operation of the project once it is completed and put into use. Company Overview: Inner Mongolia Hengkun Chemical Co., Ltd. is affiliated with Inner Mongolia Energy Co., Ltd., which belongs to Xinkuang Group and is in turn part of Shandong Energy, one of the world’s top 500 companies. The company is also a member of the China Coking Industry Association. The company plans to build a coking integrated production facility with an annual capacity of 2.6 million tons in the Shanghai Miao Fine Chemical Park, in Etokeqian Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The first phase of this project will have an annual capacity of 1.3 million tons of compacted coke, along with a facility for producing liquefied natural gas from 120 million cubic meters per year of coke oven gas; the total investment for this phase is 1.5 billion yuan. It was put into operation in 2011, and its main products include coke, tar, crude benzene, ammonium sulfate, and liquefied natural gas. The project for producing liquefied natural gas from 120 million m3/year of coke oven gas adopted the world-leading technology from the British company Davy, becoming the world’s first project of its kind. In 2019, a total of 967,100 tons of coke, 58,400 tons of tar, 15,800 tons of crude benzene, 10,800 tons of ammonium sulfate, and 25,100 tons of LNG were produced ； Over the whole year, sales revenue amounted to 1.226 billion yuan, with profits reaching 186 million yuan. The budgeted investment for the second phase of the project, which involves 1.3 million tons per year of compacted coke production along with 200,000 tons per year of methanol production, was 2.24 billion yuan. Construction began in 2013; it was suspended in 2015. In 2019, the procedures for technical upgrades, environmental impact assessments, and resumption of construction were completed, and work resumed. Upon the completion of Phase 2, Hengkun Chemical Company will be able to produce 2.6 million tons of coke per year, generating an output value of 3.5 billion yuan and tax revenues of around 400 million yuan; it will thus become a major chemical enterprise in the Shanghaimiao area.
