[Haichuan Chemical Salary News] China’s first coal tar hydrogenation unit went into trial operation in Ningdong in 2020
Thread Content
On April 15, the 300,000 tons per year high-purity heavy hydrocarbon FITS hydrogenation unit of Ningxia Baoli New Energy Co., Ltd. completed its initial trial run successfully. The project is located in the **-level Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. Sinochem 16th Construction Engineering Company is primarily responsible for the construction and installation of a methanol-to-hydrogen integrated production facility with a capacity of 28,000 Nm3/h, a high-purity heavy hydrocarbon FITS hydrogenation plant with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, as well as the associated sulfur recovery facilities.

Ningxia Baoli New Energy Co., Ltd. is located in the **-level Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base. It was established in August 2015 with a registered capital of 200 million yuan, and is mainly engaged in the production, processing, and sales of new types of clean energy sources as well as chemical products. The total investment in the project is 5 billion yuan, with a total land area of 913 mu; the investment per mu amounts to 5.48 million yuan. Following the principle of phased implementation as outlined in the first-phase plan, the project will be constructed in two phases. The construction of the first phase began in September 2015, and it was completed and put into operation in October 2016. Construction of the second phase of the project began in June 2017, with completion and operation scheduled by the end of 2019. Once the entire project is operational, it will generate annual sales revenue of over 10 billion yuan. The project relies primarily on the by-products of coal chemical industry in the Ningdong area for further processing, and it plays a significant role in extending the downstream industrial chain of coal chemicals as well as in developing clusters of fine chemical products.
In March 2016, construction began on a facility for the comprehensive utilization of 600,000 tons per year of oil, gas, and hydrocarbons, along with the associated public auxiliary facilities; it was completed and put into operation in October of the same year. To achieve product upgrades and improve production efficiency, a new project was launched in June 2017. This project is one of the key construction projects in the autonomous region, with a total investment of 1.692 billion yuan. It involves the construction of facilities for producing 400,000 tons per year of isomerization and MTBE combined units, 400,000 tons per year of highly clean light hydrocarbon reforming units, 100,000 tons per year of benzene extraction and methanol-to-hydrogen combined units; 800,000 tons per year of highly clean heavy hydrocarbon reforming units, 100,000 tons per year of propylene production and product refining combined units; 1.2 million tons per year of raw material pretreatment facilities, and 600,000 tons per year of coal tar deep processing facilities. There are also facilities for the comprehensive utilization of benzyl compounds at a capacity of 100,000 tons per year, as well as a FITS hydrogenation facility for highly clean heavy hydrocarbons with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year. In addition, there is a hydrogen production facility with an output of 28,000 Nm3 per year, and these facilities have been gradually built and put into operation.
"1.2 million tons of raw material pretreatment, 600,000 tons of coal tar deep processing”.......? Where will all that coal tar come from? What scale of coke production is needed again?
