Another energy giant enters the field of modern coal chemical processing: Jizhong Energy’s coal-to-natural gas project kicks off
Thread Content
According to reports from April 2011, the preliminary draft of the feasibility study report for Jizhong Energy’s coal-to-natural gas project has been prepared. It was presented to experts from the **Ministry of Environmental Protection, and further improvements are now being made based on their feedback. It is reported that the total investment in this project amounts to 12.8 billion yuan, aimed at building a facility capable of producing 4 billion cubic meters of coal-to-natural gas per year. The first phase of the project requires an investment of 9.42 billion yuan, and it will enable the production of 2 billion cubic meters of gas per year, along with by-products such as 204,600 tons of tar and 43,500 tons of naphtha. It primarily utilizes the lignite resources of Jizhong Energy Group in Guyuan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia, employing the Lurgi gasification process and the methanization technology from the British company David. The project is controlled by Jizhong Energy at 51%, with five other companies – CNPC Emerging Energy Industry Group, Hebei Construction Investment Group, and China New Energy (**) Industrial Co., Ltd. – participating in its joint development.
News from April 2011 – has there been no update in a year?
Recently, I’ve only heard that Jizhong Energy is building plants to convert coke oven gas into natural gas in Jingxing; I haven’t heard anything about converting coal into natural gas
There were calls for it back in 2009, but it didn’t cause much fuss.
Is the project located in Zhangjiakou? Where is the water resource? As the upstream area of Beijing’s water sources, environmental protection must be strict!
I don’t think it’s realistic; in other words, coal resources are relatively nearby. As mentioned above, water resources are the real issue. Choosing a Lurgi furnace is a process that consumes a lot of water, so think carefully before making that decision!
I’ve only heard about the project in Jingxing that converts coke oven gas into natural gas; I haven’t heard of any other such projects.
China’s Largest Project for Converting Coke Oven Gas into Natural Gas Commences Construction 2012-03-16 08:58:33 International Coal Network Weibo Comments Views: 202 Font size: T|T On March 13, the first phase of Jizhong Energy’s project for comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas, which aims to produce 90 million cubic meters of natural gas per year, was launched in the circular economy industrial park located in its Jingxing Mining Area. This marks the official start of construction on China’s largest project of its kind for converting coke oven gas into natural gas. It is understood that the comprehensive utilization project for coke oven gas at Jizhong Energy will be constructed in two phases, with a total investment of 2.054 billion yuan, and it is planned to be fully completed by the end of next year. Upon completion, this project will generate annual sales revenue of 2.8 billion yuan, annual profits and taxes of 530 million yuan, and create over 700 job opportunities. The first phase will have an annual production capacity of 90 million cubic meters of natural gas, and once all phases are completed, the annual production will reach 300 million cubic meters. As early as July 2011, the feasibility study report for this project was approved by experts, and it was included in the list of key projects for Hebei Province and Shijiazhuang City in 2012. It is understood that there are currently four large coking plants in the Jingxing Mining Area of Jizhong Energy, which produce around 4 million tons of coke per year, and supply approximately 800 million cubic meters of coke oven gas annually. And **in the medium- to long-term plans for the development of the coal chemical industry, comprehensive utilization of coke oven gas is explicitly encouraged. Jingkuang Group uses coke oven gas as raw material to produce natural gas and chemical products, which is in line with **industrial structure policies and offers broad market prospects. Once all the projects are completed and put into operation, Jingxing Mining Area will achieve zero emissions of gas, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 600,000 tons per year and sulfur dioxide emissions by over 2,300 tons per year. One phase of this project involves an investment of 268 million yuan, and it enables the conversion of 230 million cubic meters of coke oven gas into 90 million cubic meters of natural gas per year. Data shows that China’s natural gas demand is growing at an average annual rate of nearly 16%. The supply-demand imbalance that emerged in 2008 persists to this day, with an annual demand gap of 20 billion cubic meters. **The Energy Bureau predicts that by 2020, the domestic demand gap for natural gas could exceed 90 billion cubic meters. It is reported that the group’s comprehensive utilization project for coke oven gas will employ a combination of purification, methanation, and separation processes, and will include systems for pressure swing adsorption, methanation, compression, and gas storage, with an annual production capacity of 300 million cubic meters of natural gas ； By adopting the N-formylmorpholine extraction distillation process, systems for distillation and separation are established to produce 100,000 tons of crude benzene hydrogenated and refined per year ； Using the anthraquinone method, systems for hydrogenation, oxidation, and separation of hydrogen are established to produce 200,000 tons of hydrogen peroxide per year ； A continuous distillation process is adopted, with systems for initial distillation, refining, and separation installed, to process 150,000 tons of coal tar per year. “The comprehensive utilization project of coke oven gas is a veritable ’profit-driven’ project that extends the coal chemical industry chain, increases the added value of products, and achieves clean production in the coke and chemical industries. ”Wang Sheping said. He said that the project for converting coke oven gas into natural gas should be developed into a model and exemplary project in the country.
I would like to ask the experts: are these two the same thing? One is natural gas produced from coal, and the other is natural gas produced from coke oven gas. .
The composition of the feedstock synthesis gas varies significantly depending on its source.
Thank you for your reply. I didn’t ask clearly; what I meant was, do these two reports refer to the same project?
