It has been learned recently that Hebei Dongguang Chemical Co., Ltd. plans to construct a urea production plant using the CO2 stripping method, along with granulation towers, in an area east of Huiyuan Road and south of Puzhao Street in Dongguang County. Additionally, new facilities such as a CO2 compression plant, urea loading docks, and a packaging building will be built, along with supporting utilities including explosion-proof urea storage rooms, urea power distribution rooms, and urea circulating water stations. Once the project is completed and put into operation, it will produce 540,000 tons of urea per year. In November 2024, Dongguang Chemical published on its official website the environmental impact assessment for the 540,000-ton-per-year urea energy-saving and carbon-reduction upgrade project. According to the publicly available environmental impact assessment information, Hebei Dongguang Chemical’s existing facilities include 1 synthetic ammonia plant with an annual production capacity of 180,000 tons, 1 synthetic ammonia plant with an annual capacity of 360,000 tons, 1 urea plant with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, 1 urea plant with an annual capacity of 600,000 tons, 1 methanol plant with an annual capacity of 20,000 tons, 1 methanol plant with an annual capacity of 60,000 tons, 1 waste heat power generation unit with a capacity of 1×12 MW, 1 production line for large-grain urea with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons, 1 production line for large-grain urea with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons, 1 production line for liquid carbon dioxide with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons, 1 production line for liquid carbon dioxide with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons, 1 LNG production line, 1 production line for ammonium sulfate as a by-product, 2 production lines for sulfur as a by-product, and 1 production line for new types of high-efficiency specialized compound fertilizers with an annual capacity of 150,000 tons. The total urea production capacity is 900,000 tons per year, liquid ammonia production capacity is 540,000 tons per year, granulated compound fertilizers have a production capacity of 150,000 tons per year, large-grain urea has a production capacity of 300,000 tons per year, and compound fertilizers have a production capacity of 150,000 tons per year. Meanwhile, 80,000 tons of methanol, 2,186 tons of sulfur, 20,000 tons of ammonium sulfate, 150,000 tons of liquid carbon dioxide, and 7.58 million m3 of LNG are produced annually as by-products.
