Announcement by the Environmental Impact Assessment and Emission Management Department of the Department of Ecology and Environment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region regarding the acceptance status of the environmental impact assessment documents for Xinjiang Tianzhize Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 70,000 tons per year special oil production project, issued on October 10, 2025. Xinjiang Tianzhize Chemical Co., Ltd. currently has a production line for heavy diesel fuel with hydrocarbon dew point reduction, capable of handling 200,000 tons per year. In order to extend the industrial chain associated with this facility and increase the added value of its products, it plans to build a facility for producing special oils at a capacity of 70,000 tons per year within the existing plant area. This new facility will be constructed on top of the existing heavy diesel fuel production line; it will involve the hydrogenation of the light fraction oils (fuel oils) produced by the existing plant, thereby extending the industrial chain and boosting product value. Additionally, units for producing hydrogen from methanol, for treating acidic water, and for sulfur recovery will also be installed as part of this project. Project Overview: Project Name: 70,000 tons per year special oil production project of Xinjiang Tianzhize Chemical Co., Ltd. Owner of the project: Xinjiang Tianzhize Chemical Co., Ltd. Nature of the construction: Renovation and expansion. Scope of construction: Production of 70,000 tons per year of special oils, including transformer base oil, 68# industrial white oil, 100# industrial white oil, and rubber plasticizers (N4006/N4010). The existing tank farm supporting the 200,000 tons/year non-hydrogenated dewaxing unit was renovated, with the storage medium in that tank farm changed. A new 70,000 tons/year hydrogenation refining unit, a 2,500 Nm3/h methanol-to-hydrogen unit, a 1.8 t/h acidic water stripping unit, an 800 t/year sulfur recovery unit, as well as auxiliary facilities such as a regional control room, a regional power distribution room, a circulating water station, an exhaust gas incineration system, and exhaust gas storage tanks were constructed. Construction site: Within the existing premises of Xinjiang Tianzhize Chemical Co., Ltd. in Hutubi Industrial Park, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region; some factory buildings and equipment will be demolished to carry out the construction (latitude and longitude: E86°36′08.088″, N44°17′38.330″). Labor quota and production schedule for the project: The labor quota for this project has been increased by 64 people. The annual operating time of the project is 8,000 hours; it operates on a four-shift system with three shifts per day, each lasting 8 hours. Total project investment: The total investment for this project is 249.9085 million yuan, of which 60% comes from self-financing and 40% from bank loans. Of this, 227.38 million yuan was invested in construction. Construction period: The project construction period is 15 months, from October 2025 to December 2026.
