Coking Technology Upgrade Project with a Capacity of 2 Million Tons per Year at China Coal Jiu Xin Coking Company Held Its Commencement Ceremony Author/Source: Shanxi Energy and Chemicals Date: June 30, 2022 Clicks: 20 On the morning of June 29, under a clear sky and bright sunshine, the commencement ceremony for the coking technology upgrade project with a capacity of 2 million tons per year at China Coal Jiu Xin Coking Co., Ltd. in Lingshi County, Shanxi Province, was held grandly within the company’s premises. Zhang Peng, member of the Party Leadership Group and vice mayor of Jinzhong City; Chen Fang, deputy secretary of the Lingshi County Party Committee and county head; Yi Baohou, secretary of the board of directors of China Coal Group, as well as party secretary and chairman of China Coal Jinzhong Company; and Li Xiaodong, a top expert from China Coal Group and general manager of its coal chemical business unit, attended the ceremony. More than 300 people in total participated in the opening ceremony, including relevant leaders from Jinzhong City and Lingshi County as well as representatives from various departments, the EPC general contractor, supervision agencies, HSE supervision units, and other parties involved in the project. The project commencement ceremony was presided over by Ding Wentong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of China Coal Jinzhong Company. Shen Yantao, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Coal Jiu Xin Company, gave a brief introduction to the project, Chen Fang delivered a speech on site, and Yi Baohou gave a motivational speech there as well. The commencement of the 2 million tons per year coking technology upgrade project at China Coal Jiu Xin Company is not only a practical demonstration of the company’s strict adherence to the energy consumption control targets set by party committees at all levels as part of the 14th Five-Year Plan, but it also represents a concrete step taken by the company to transform its traditional coking industry into one that is more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cleaner, with the aim of achieving green and low-carbon development. The total estimated investment for this project is 1.77 billion yuan. The new coke ovens will have a carbonization chamber height of 6.78 meters, and the facility will be equipped with dry quenching systems and power generation units, devices for converting desulfurization waste liquid into acid, a 35kV substation and external power lines. The existing coal preparation system, gas purification system, and various auxiliary systems will be upgraded to be more automated and intelligent. At the same time, an “Industrial Internet+” system will be established, thereby creating a basic technical platform for a smart factory. The process equipment used in this project meets the highest standards for coke oven design in China. The coke oven plant utilizes a range of advanced automated and intelligent control technologies, including a carbonization chamber pressure stabilization control system based on top-tier domestic technology, a gas collection pipe pressure control system, an optimized control management system for coke oven heating, an intelligent unmanned operation system for coke oven locomotives, robot-based sampling systems, and unmanned methods for loading raw coal from storage piles. Improved environmental protection measures and production processes ensure a reduction in the emission of pollutants such as exhaust gases, dust, and waste residues at the source, resulting in significant environmental benefits. At the same time, it offers significant energy-saving effects, with the energy consumption per ton of coke reaching an advanced level in China. The 6.78-meter ramming coke oven uses coal with broad adaptability, features low carbon emissions and environmental friendliness, is energy-efficient and high-performance, as well as highly intelligent; it enables ultra-low emissions throughout the entire process. It offers significant social, economic, and environmental benefits, and holds great practical importance for promoting the high-quality development of the coking industry.
