Do you know how large the scale of the coal tar hydrogenation project in Yiwu, Xinjiang is?
Thread Content
The Xinjiang Yiwu coal tar hydrogenation project is located in the industrial zone of Naomaohu Town, Yiwu County, Hami City, in the northeastern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on the eastern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. Leveraging the coal resources of Xinjiang Jianna Mining Co., Ltd., this project develops projects for the graded and differentiated utilization of low-grade coal in areas where such resources are abundant. The by-product gas generated during coal processing is used, through PSA technology, to extract CO, H₂, and CO₂ for the production of methanol and ethylene glycol with high added value. The coal tar produced as a by-product is subjected to full-range hydrorefining to yield high-quality petroleum products. The project is in line with **relevant industry policies, and it is of great significance for promoting coal development in the Hami region, facilitating resource conversion, exploring pathways for differentiated utilization, and driving local economic development. The project consists of three parts: hydrogenation, hydrogen production, and auxiliary facilities, with a contract value of 1.2 billion yuan. Construction officially began on February 28, 2021. The main tasks included building 9 large factories, 28 storage tanks, and 50 individual structures. The total length of pipes to be welded was 390,000 inches, of which 20,000 inches pertained to high-pressure pipes; the thickest pipe walls were 30 millimeters thick. There were over 410 pieces of equipment, including 10 precision compressors. The steel structure weighed 14,000 tons, 95,000 cubic meters of concrete was poured, 14,000 tons of rebar was used, 500,000 cubic meters of soil was excavated, 80 kilometers of various cables were installed, 296 control panels were installed, and there were more than 2,000 instrumentation components.
The entire plant for the Yiwu Jiangna coal tar hydrogenation project needs to be dismantled from Huidong Company in Dongying, Shandong, and relocated to a new construction site over 3,000 kilometers away. Demolishing outdated factory areas is extremely dangerous; the work often involves working at heights or in complex environments, and the substances contained within the equipment and pipelines are often flammable and explosive. The risks and difficulties associated with such work are great, putting to the test the project team’s capabilities in safety management and organization. After thorough consideration and careful planning, the project team developed a detailed construction plan and safety protocols. They kept a close eye on the site at every step, implemented the safety protocols one by one, and assigned unique identification marks to those components that were to be reused. Since both the equipment and materials require secondary installation, the project team takes strict measures to protect the finished products during packaging and transportation. During the demolition phase of this project, a total of 190 truckloads of materials were transported, including 210 pieces of equipment with a total weight of around 2,400 tons. There were 4 heating furnaces weighing approximately 500 tons each, 1,800 tons of steel structures, 36,000 meters of pipes, and about 800 tons of medium and low pressure pipes along with various pipe valves (equivalent to roughly 150,000 welds). In addition, there were 80,163 meters of electrical cables and 63 control cabinets. The project team overcame difficulties and achieved success in both the demolition and relocation tasks.
Projects of this type are all about something else than what they seem to be about; the real focus is on coal resources. As for the claim that \"byusing the by-product coal gas to extract CO and H2 through PSA, high-value methanol and ethylene glycol can be produced, while the by-product coal tar is subjected to full-range hydrorefining to yield high-quality oils\", it’s all nonsense – something meant to be shown off or used as a cover-up. Its main products are coke or semi-coke, which fall under the category of \"high-energy, high-emission, and capital-intensive\" industries – sectors that are explicitly restricted.
Haha, they call by-products the main products and vice versa, in order to use the guise of new energy and environmental protection projects and avoid **’s environmental regulations.
Everything underground belongs to the government – neither you nor I have any share in it; P
Dig a cellar at home to store Chinese cabbages: lol
Such projects are extremely harmful to the environment; issues such as coke dust and unpleasant odors from coal cause the surrounding area to become a place where \"dust flies in the strong winds, and the unpleasant smell spreads throughout the area.\"
Chinese cabbage isn’t necessarily one’s own either
