【Information on Haichuan Chemical Project】Hebei Province will start construction on five key petrochemical projects this year
Thread Content
It is understood that the petrochemical projects planned to be launched in Hebei this year include: the refining and chemical integration project of Tangshan Xuyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. in Caofeidian District, which will involve the construction of a crude oil atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit with an annual capacity of 15 million tons, a PX production unit with an annual capacity of 3.5 million tons, and an ethylene production unit with an annual capacity of 1.5 million tons; the steel-coke integration and relocation project of Tangshan Tianshun Coal-Coke Chemical Co., Ltd., with an annual production capacity of 2.48 million tons of coke, 1.054 billion cubic meters of coke oven gas, 124,800 tons of tar, 27,000 tons of ammonium sulfate, and 32,000 tons of crude benzene; and the coke reduction, replacement, and integration relocation project of Tangshan Jiaxiang Industrial Co., Ltd. in Zunhua, with an annual production capacity of 1.44 million tons of coke. In addition, the petrochemical projects that Hebei plans to continue building this year include the 200,000 tons per year acrylic acid and esters integrated production project of Bohai Dongfang Chemical Co., Ltd., as well as the comprehensive utilization project of straw carried out by Yigao Environmental Protection Investment Co., Ltd. – Phase I of the demonstration project for the comprehensive utilization of sugar syrup (Luanzhou).
How to treat coke oven exhaust gas? To be used as fuel, or to undergo further processing as a feedstock for the production of chemical products such as methanol, ethylene glycol, and LNG?
I didn’t see any detailed instructions; the project description suggests that it should be recycled, right?
At least it can be used as fuel; it’s just a shame
Blue Sea Caofeidian Co., Ltd.: We have received your company’s application letter regarding the approval of the environmental impact assessment report for the reclamation project associated with the 15 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing facility. After examination, the approval is as follows. I. This project is located in the waters of Caofeidian District, Tangshan City, with a land reclamation area of 365.44 hectares. The main construction activities include the land reclamation of the plant area and the water intake and drainage routes for Tangshan Xuyang Petrochemical Co., Ltd.’s 15 million tons per year integrated refining and chemical processing project; this does not include the construction work for the integrated refining and chemical processing facilities on the reclaimed land. After fully implementing the various ecological and environmental protection measures proposed in the report, the project will be able to meet the requirements of relevant laws, regulations, and standards for marine ecological environment protection. Our department agrees to approve this environmental impact report. II. During the operation of the project, efforts should be intensified to protect the marine environment and carry out ecological restoration. These efforts should be coordinated with the overall ecological restoration work related to the land reclamation projects in Caofeidian District, and implemented in a unified manner. The environmental protection measures outlined in the report, such as the restoration of marine biological resources and the monitoring of the marine ecological environment, must be strictly implemented. III. The Haihe River Basin Beihai Sea Ecological Environment Supervision Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Haihe Beihai Bureau) is responsible for the supervision and management of ecological environment protection for this project. Please submit the approved environmental impact report to the Haibei Bureau of the Haihe River within 30 working days from the date of approval by your company.

The total investment for Tangshan Tianshun Coal-Coke Chemical Co., Ltd.’s project to relocate its coking facility with an annual capacity of 2.48 million tons is 3,686,170,000 yuan. This project involves phasing out the coking production capacities of Hebei Tianzhu Iron and Steel Group Guyu Coal-Coke Chemical Co., Ltd., Tangshan Huifeng Coking and Gas Production Co., Ltd., and Hebei Yongshun Industrial Group Co., Ltd., which together account for 3.1 million tons of coking capacity. In place of this capacity, 4 coke ovens with 6.25 meters in diameter and 60 chambers each will be built, along with supporting facilities such as dry quenching systems, gas purification units, and sewage treatment systems. After the project is implemented, the annual output of coke will be 2.48 million tons.
The main production processes for the proposed project include coal preparation, coking, and gas purification. In the coal preparation process, coal is stored in warehouses, and the method involves first mixing the coal and then crushing it; it mainly includes units such as coal unloading, coal storage and mixing, and crushing ； The coking process utilizes plug coking ovens as well as a dry quenching process (dry quenching is used; wet quenching serves as a backup option), and it mainly includes units for coking, dry quenching, and screening of coke ； The gas purification process mainly includes units such as condensing and blowing (to remove tar), HPF desulfurization, acid production, ammonium sulfate production (to remove ammonia), ammonia distillation, and benzene elution.
