At what scale of deep processing of tar can it become profitable currently?
Thread Content
Our factory engaged in deep processing of less than 100,000 tons, and it has now ceased operations. I would like to ask at what scale of deep tar processing can Haiyou achieve profitability? Could you introduce the process used? My email address is RLZY527186@163.COM. Thank you very much.
Our plant has a capacity of 50,000 tons; it does not produce asphalt but burns carbon black. The benefits are quite good
Ugh! Why do you keep asking such questions? . Does a large scale bring benefits? For independent processing enterprises, process, products, and raw material prices are quite important. Coal tar is mainly used in 1 deep-processing enterprises, 2 carbon black manufacturers, and fuel oil companies. At the current time, there is heavy speculation on coal tar, which has led to a sharp rise in prices. It reaches around 1,800, due to products such as coal tar pitch from enterprises engaged in deep processing. The increase was small; it wasn’t cost-effective to continue production, so production was halted. Compared to carbon black and fuel oil companies, sales conditions are gradually improving, which has led to increased production. Moreover, recently steel mills’ demand for coke has started to decline, which has affected the operating rates of various coking plants; as a result, the production of tar and crude benzene has decreased. Alas! The impact of the financial crisis is still profound; most benzene processing enterprises have also stopped operating. When will coking enterprises see spring? ? ? ? ? It is at this time that small and medium-sized enterprises suffer the most.
For the processing of coal tar with a capacity of less than 50,000 tons, the former Soviet Union’s processes should still be used; these processes have relatively high energy consumption, and the resulting products are all of basic quality, so there is no talk of \"advanced\" processing.
