On February 21, 2023, Bi Jiawei, vice president of Sinochem Second Construction Group Co., Ltd., visited the 3.6 million tons per year coking and hydrogen production integrated project operated by Xuyang Zhongran Energy Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Xuyang Zhongran”) to provide guidance. On the 22nd, Bi Jiawei had a discussion with Zhang Jianguo, senior vice president of Xuyang Group, and attended a summary meeting regarding the joint inspection of the No. 5 and No. 6 coke ovens at Xuyang Zhongran, as well as the confirmation of the conditions necessary for starting up the ammonia synthesis project. The Xuyang Zhongran 3.6 million tons/year coking and hydrogen production integrated project produces 3.6 million tons of coke per year; as by-products, it generates 1.7 billion cubic meters of coke oven gas, 450,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, 850 million cubic meters of hydrogen, 160,000 tons of coal tar, 50,000 tons of crude benzene, and 60,000 tons of ammonium sulfate. Project Overview: Xuyang Zhongran Energy Co., Ltd. is located in the Tuqing Economic Development Zone in Inner Mongolia. It was established with joint investment from Xuyang Chemical Co., Ltd., Hohhot Zhongran, and Tianjin Baisen. A coking capacity of 3 million tons per year is planned, and to date a coking plant with a capacity of 900,000 tons per year and a methanol production facility using coke oven gas at a capacity of 100,000 tons per year have been built. The Rixing Sino-Gas project for the comprehensive utilization of coking and hydrogen production with an annual output of 3 million tons has a total investment of 5.09 billion yuan. In 2020, plans were made to expand the coking facility to a capacity of 2.1 million tons per year, in order to extend the industrial chain. Efforts were also made to develop projects related to the comprehensive utilization of resources such as alcohols, ethers, aromatics, and carbon materials, as well as high-end material production. Six major centers were to be established, and an intelligent industrial park was to be created, resulting in a coking capacity of 3 million tons per year and a chemical industry park with a capacity of 800,000 tons per year.
