According to reports in the Jingzhou Daily in early May 2023, the construction of the first phase of this facility is nearing completion. At present, the civil construction work for various units of the gas power platform project in the park is nearing completion, with the main pipelines and equipment being mostly installed ； The units of the syngas comprehensive utilization project have entered a peak period for internal component installation, and the installation and acceptance of internal components for some equipment have been completed. Ignition testing is scheduled for the end of June. The Gas Power Platform project at Hualu Hengsheng’s Jingzhou facility uses coal as raw material to produce syngas, high-pressure nitrogen, and steam. The syngas comprehensive utilization project uses the crude syngas produced by the park’s gas power platform project as raw material to manufacture downstream products. There are mainly two product chains: one is to produce synthetic ammonia using crude syngas as a raw material, and to produce urea using liquid ammonia and CO2 as raw materials ； The second is to produce acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using crude syngas as raw material ； Meanwhile, monomethylamine, trimethylamine, sulfur, and food-grade CO2 are produced as by-products. The Jingzhou facility of Hualu Hengsheng uses multi-nozzle gasification to produce synthetic ammonia and urea ； Secondly, it produces acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), with by-products including monomethylamine, trimethylamine, sulfur, and food-grade CO2. The Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Project and the Park Gas Power Platform Project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. are planned to require an investment of 46 billion yuan to build a modern coal chemical complex in Jingzhou. The construction will take place in three phases: Phase 1 is expected to cost 11.5 billion yuan and cover an area of over 2,400 mu. It includes two sub-projects – the Park Gas Power Platform and the Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Platform. Using advanced technologies for the efficient and clean utilization of coal, this complex will be capable of producing millions of tons per year of acetic acid, 700,000 tons of urea, 300,000 tons of molten urea, 100,000 tons of melamine resin, 150,000 tons of DMF, 13,600 tons of sulfur, and 150,000 tons of mixed methylene amine ； Phase II and Phase III projects, building on Phase I, will produce high-end chemical new materials, fine chemicals, and hydrogen energy products. Construction on this project officially began on November 5, 2021. Project Overview: The Gas Power Platform project at the Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. campus is located to the east of the Menghua Railway, to the west of Dianli Road; to the west lies the new building materials industry zone and Hubei Huadian Jiangling Power Plant, while to the south is the coal storage and distribution base. Using coal as raw material, the project employs advanced production processes such as the multi-nozzle water-coal slurry pressurized gasification process and low-temperature cryogenic separation process to produce syngas, high-pressure nitrogen, and steam. The land area is 97.04 hectares (approximately 1,455 mu), with a total investment of 5.92431 billion yuan. The syngas comprehensive utilization project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. uses the crude syngas produced by the park’s gas power platform project as raw material to manufacture downstream products. There are two main product lines: one involves the production of synthetic ammonia using crude syngas as a raw material, and the other involves the production of urea using liquid ammonia and CO2 as raw materials ； The second is to produce acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using crude syngas as raw material ； By-product dimethylamine, trimethylamine, sulfur, and food-grade CO2 are also produced simultaneously. Covering an area of 62 hectares (approximately 930 mu), the total investment in this project is 5.60379 billion yuan. The park’s gas power platform project and the syngas comprehensive utilization project are interrelated projects, adopting a construction approach that involves simultaneous design, construction, and commissioning. It is reported that on October 31, 2020, Shandong Hualu Hengsheng Chemical Co., Ltd. signed the \"Project Investment Agreement for Hualu Hengsheng Jingzhou Modern Coal Chemical Industry Base\" with the People’s Government of Jingzhou City and the People’s Government of Jiangling County in Hubei Province. On November 19, 2020, Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. was established. It is a subsidiary of Hualu Hengsheng Holdings; Hualu Hengsheng holds 70% of the shares, while its related parties, Hualu Group Co., Ltd. and Hualu Investment Development Co., Ltd., hold 20% and 10% of the shares respectively. With Jingzhou Company as the investment entity, Hualu Hengsheng plans to invest in the construction of a gas power platform project and a comprehensive utilization project for syngas in the Hubei Jiangling Economic Development Zone (Coal, Electricity, Port, and Chemicals Industrial Park). As of May 25, 2021, the environmental impact assessment reports for the gas power platform project and the comprehensive utilization project of syngas at Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. were made public prior to approval.
