According to a report from Northeast Net on April 29 (reporters: Xie Guofei, Wang Chunying), upon entering the construction site of Jianlong Xigang’s 1.4 million-ton coking plant, one is greeted by a landscape filled with tower cranes, as well as large construction machinery such as excavators, loaders, and dump trucks moving back and forth – a scene of intense activity. The construction site, which had been dormant for months, has once again regained its vitality. The construction site of the 1.4-million-ton coking project at Jianlong Xigang. Workers are busy with the construction work. Five construction teams have already arrived at the site. The 1.4-million-ton coking project at Jianlong Xigang is one of the key projects to resume construction as part of Heilongjiang Province’s “100 Major Projects” initiative. To date, five construction teams have arrived at the project site. Overcoming challenges such as a shortage of workers and large temperature differences between day and night in the northern regions during spring, they start working at 6 a.m. to accelerate the construction progress.
It is reported that Jianlong Xigang currently operates two blast furnaces with a capacity of 1,260 m3 each and one blast furnace with a capacity of 1,080 m3. The coke produced internally is far from sufficient to meet the needs of these blast furnaces, and the shortage of metallurgical coke hinders the entire steel production process, becoming a bottleneck for normal operations. To address the shortage of coke and stabilize steel production, the company decided to build a coking plant with an annual capacity of 1.4 million tons. The investment for the construction of this project is 1,488 million yuan. The project is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of December 2020. Once the project is put into operation, it will produce 1.4 million tons of coke (on a dry basis), 16,873 tons of ammonium sulfate, 74,321 tons of tar, and 18,078 tons of crude benzene per year. This will generate an additional annual revenue of 3.4 billion yuan, with profits estimated at 200 million yuan per year. In the face of the impact of the pandemic, Jianlong Xigang has made efforts to maintain continuous production without interruptions, to alleviate pressures and ensure safety, as well as to keep project construction going unabated. At present, nearly 400 external construction workers have arrived at the site of the 1.4 million-ton coking project, and over 600 more external workers will enter the site in the near future, which will **accelerate** the construction progress.
As the largest steel enterprise in Heilongjiang Province, Xigang Group was once known as the backbone of the steel industry. Under the extreme market pressures, there were instances where employees did not receive their salaries for over ten months, and there were also cases of employees lying on the tracks in protest. It was this massive company with tens of thousands of employees that once suffered from weakness and stagnation. At the beginning of the new year in 2020, Xigang Group, which had previously been mired in losses, regained its vitality after joining Jianlong Steel, and successfully achieved the ambitious goal of producing 4 million tons of steel. It greatly boosted the morale of the employees and set a new record for the total steel production volume in Xigang Group, achieving a true rebirth. It has even become a rising star that shines brightly within the Jianlong Steel group.
