【Haichuan Chemical Salary Updates】Full commencement of construction at the synthesis center of Liaoning Datang International Fuxin coal-to-natural gas project
Thread Content
Following the commissioning of the purification unit on April 16 and the methanation unit on April 19, the synthesis center of the Liaoning Datang International Fuxin Coal-to-Natural Gas project held a commissioning ceremony for the sulfur recovery unit on the morning of April 27. Thus, all three sets of equipment at the synthesis center have begun operations, with the \"three drivers\" advancing at full speed to accelerate the resumption of work and production.
The Liaoning Datang International Fuxin Coal-to-Natural Gas Project was officially approved by the **National Development and Reform Commission on March 5, 2010. It is China’s third coal-to-natural gas project to receive approval from this commission; it is the first project in Fuxin’s coal chemical industry base. Additionally, it represents the largest single-investment project in Liaoning Province in recent years, and it serves as a landmark project for Fuxin as a pilot city for economic transformation in resource-depleted areas. The project covers an area of 354.35 hectares, with a construction scale of 4 billion cubic meters per year of coal-based natural gas (12 million cubic meters per day). It will be developed in three phases on a rolling basis, each phase having a capacity of 1.3 billion cubic meters per year. A series of construction projects officially commenced in July 2011. After an initial phase of construction and delays, the project resumed on a full scale on April 12, 2018, entering a period of rapid development. Datang Fuxin aims to ensure that the first-phase project is completed to high standards, undergoes testing of high quality, and begin gas production by the end of 2019.
Construction began in 2011, but it was never completed; only now have the purification, methanation, and sulfur recovery units been added. With investments of hundreds of billions, Datang is truly a spendthrift!
It was designed by Saiding. Saiding ruined the coal-to-natural gas industry in China and also caused great harm to Datang. The coal-to-natural gas projects in Fuxin and Keqi have many serious problems, such as difficulties in treating wastewater
It seems that the path of gasification isn’t easy to follow
Hundreds of billions over a period of ten years – it’s impossible to calculate the return on investment in such a case
Shenhua once commissioned a third party to conduct an asset valuation for three coal chemical projects of Datang (Dolun MTP, Keqi, and Fuxin coal-to-gas projects), but the results were unsatisfactory, forcing the company to abort the acquisitions.
Fixed-bed gasification already has many problems; Saiding seems to be pushing fixed-bed gasification forcefully in order to carry out the project, misleading the clients. The owner, who works in the power industry, was also deceived. Another issue is related to the owners: those from the power industry came in to engage in coal chemical processing, thinking it would be as simple as working in the power industry, while those with expertise from the chemical industry had nothing useful to say. Shenhua was able to develop the coal chemical industry by recruiting a large number of talents, and those chemical industry experts truly knew what they were doing.

A series of projects officially began construction in July 2011; after going through initial construction phases and periods of delayed work, 10 years have passed yet not a single project in this series has been completed.
The coal used for project planning comes from the lignite produced by Datang Xilinhot Dongshengli No. 2 Coal Mine. The coal is processed using the pressurized gasification technology; through units such as low-temperature methanol washing, sulfur recovery, and methanation, high-quality natural gas is generated, while by-products such as tar, mixed benzene, crude phenol, sulfur, ammonium sulfate, and liquid ammonia are also produced simultaneously. The project also includes the construction of a natural gas pipeline with a total length of 344 kilometers. Once in operation, it will supply gas to Shenyang via the Fuxin–Shenyang main pipeline, and branch lines will be established from this main pipeline to supply gas to cities in central Liaoning such as Tieling, Fushun, and Benxi. ----The people of Liaoning and Shenyang have been waiting for ten years without seeing a single cubic meter of gas!
