In recent years, the Ningdong base has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of its industries, as well as the shift from old to new drivers of economic development. It has focused on leveraging major projects, fostering industrial clusters, promoting technological innovation, protecting the ecological environment, and providing efficient management services. Projects have been undertaken to improve the quality and efficiency of modern coal chemical and coal-to-oil production. Special attention has been paid to ensuring a rational layout and steady development of industries related to new materials, clean energy, and high-end electronic chemicals. All aspects of coal chemical production, distribution, circulation, and consumption have been integrated, thereby driving the industry toward higher levels of sophistication, sustainability, intelligence, and integration, and achieving both reasonable growth in volume and steady improvements in quality. In the first half of this year, the Ningdong base achieved a regional GDP of 19.03 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.6%, which was 3.7 percentage points higher than in the first quarter ； The added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 2.5%, up 2.8 percentage points from the first quarter. A total of 165 construction projects were planned for the whole year, with a total investment of 219 billion yuan; the annual planned investment amounted to 25.5 billion yuan. Among these, 88 were new projects, 65 were ongoing projects, and 12 were projects related to renewal and transformation. By the end of July, the rate of project commencement and resumption had reached 90%, resulting in a significant enhancement of the clustering effect within industrial clusters. 2.4 billion yuan in various taxes and fees were waived ； The proportion of days with excellent environmental air quality reached 83.5%, and surface water remained in Class II quality ； The achievements in routine COVID-19 prevention and control have been continuously strengthened, earning the recognition as an advanced unit in COVID-19 prevention and control within the national petrochemical industry.
Entering the Baofeng Energy Circular Economy Industrial Base, which covers an area of 14,000 mu, one can see that the company’s integrated high-end coal-based new material circular economy industry cluster, built using coal as raw material, ranks among the best in China. According to the interim financial results for the first half of 2020, the company’s total operating revenue was 7.52 billion yuan. The circular economy industry chain makes full use of coal in a clean and efficient manner, using it to produce nearly a hundred high-end chemical products in place of oil, with comprehensive indicators such as energy consumption and environmental protection reaching leading levels in the country. Liu Yuanguan, president of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group, explained that in order to continuously enhance the advantages of its circular integrated industry, advance the modern coal chemical industry toward higher levels of development, and achieve high-quality growth, Baofeng Energy invested 15.3 billion yuan in August 2017 to build a project for producing 600,000 tons per year of olefins through coke gasification. This project consists of two main components: a preceding stage for producing 2.2 million tons per year of methanol via coke gasification, and a subsequent stage for producing 600,000 tons per year of polyolefins from methanol. In October 2019, the downstream methanol-based 600,000 tons/year olefin plant began producing qualified products ； In May 2020, the methanol production plant capable of producing 2.2 million tons per year from coke gasification was successfully commissioned after a single trial run.
The Ningdong base has always built on its advantages in terms of industrial infrastructure. Especially since 2015, it has focused on extending the industrial chain, fostering industrial clusters, and improving quality and efficiency. It has worked to connect various elements into a coherent network and expand these networks into larger clusters. Within the context of the coal-to-oil industry, it has implemented projects aimed at increasing the value of by-products and carrying out advanced processing of Fischer-Tropsch waxes, thereby elevating the level of development of this industry and enhancing its economic benefits； Focusing on the coal-based olefins industry, projects such as tert-carboxylic acid, acrylic acid, n-isobutyraldehyde, and neopentyl glycol are implemented to extend the industrial chain and enhance the added value and competitiveness of products ； Centered on the coke industry, projects such as coke gasification for olefin production, advanced processing of coal tar, and comprehensive utilization of light hydrocarbons are implemented to drive the transformation of traditional coal chemical industries into modern ones ； Focusing on the coal-based cogeneration industry, projects such as spandex, acetic anhydride, and **furan are carried out to drive the transformation of coal chemical industry into a new materials industry ； Focusing on major basic raw materials such as methanol and synthetic ammonia, projects related to polymer additives, electronic chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticide intermediates, high-end dyes, and fragrances are carried out to achieve deeper processing of coal chemical products. The products are sold in kilograms rather than tons, resulting in price increases of dozens or even hundreds of times. Through project development, technological innovation, and industrial clustering, a modern industrial system characterized by horizontal integration, vertical expansion, and diversified development has been essentially established.
Ningxia Kunpeng Clean Energy Co., Ltd. is the only enterprise in the region that produces ethylene glycol from coal. Last year, it invested 5.8 billion yuan to build a facility capable of producing 400,000 tons of ethylene glycol as well as 3 × 480 tons per hour of power generation capacity. This facility plays a crucial role in completing and enhancing the coal chemical industry chain in the Ningdong area by helping to supplement, strengthen, and extend it. This project plays a vital role in promoting the clean and efficient use of coal, as well as in driving the development of China’s modern coal chemical industry ； It is of great significance for filling the gap in the modern coal chemical industry at the Ningdong base, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of this industry, fostering the growth of industrial clusters, and establishing a first-class **-level modern coal chemical base in China.
The company’s 400,000-ton ethylene glycol project uses coal as raw material; it relies on two air separation units to supply oxygen and nitrogen for downstream processes. Syngas is produced using the \"Shenning furnace\" dry coal powder gasification technology, while isothermal shift and low-temperature methanol washing techniques are employed to adjust the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio and purify the gas. High-purity carbon monoxide is obtained through deep cryogenic separation technology. The ethylene glycol synthesis and separation technologies used are those provided by Japanese company Takahashi Kogyo, representing the most advanced production technologies available both domestically and internationally. Construction of the project began in March 2019; the first phase with a production capacity of 200,000 tons is set to be completed and put into operation in August 2021, while the second phase with another 200,000 tons of production capacity is planned to be completed and operational by August 2023 ； Construction on the power island project began in March 2020, with completion and operation scheduled for March 2021. Once the project is completed and put into operation, it will generate an additional annual sales revenue of 3.2 billion yuan.
