To date, 90% of the procurement contracts for the equipment required for this project have been finalized. It is planned to complete 90% of the steel structure construction for the main unit of the melamine production process by September this year, and to finish 70% of the equipment installation for that same unit by December. Commissioning of the plant is expected to take place in May 2024. The project is located in the reserved land to the south of the Ganquanbao Industrial Park and to the east of Yankuang Xinjiang Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. The required raw materials, namely urea and liquid ammonia, are supplied by the company itself. It is possible to make balanced use of electricity, steam, recycled water, desalinated water, as well as other supporting utility and auxiliary systems, with the existing infrastructure; these favorable conditions will provide a solid foundation for the construction of this melamine production facility. The project covers an area of about 200 mu, with a total investment of 870 million yuan. The project utilizes the fourth-generation high-pressure process technology from Italian company OTECH; all key equipment, process packages, and patented technologies are provided by OTECH. On June 29, 2022, Yankuang Xinjiang Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. signed an EPC general contract for a project to produce 60,000 tons of melamine per year with Hualu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd.; the value of the contract was approximately 589.6 million yuan. Yankuang Xinjiang Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in the Ganquanbao Industrial Park and covers an area of about 1,050 mu. Leveraging the region’s abundant coal resources, it invested 5.2 billion yuan to build Xinjiang’s first multi-product, integrated, circular coal chemical plant. The plant has an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia, 520,000 tons of urea, and 300,000 tons of methanol; in addition, it produces 26,000 tons of sulfuric acid, 50,000 tons of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, and 25,000 tons of liquid argon as by-products.
