First public announcement for Xinjiang’s 660,000 tons/year coal-based distillate aromatics production project: Recently, the first public announcement regarding the environmental impact assessment for Xinjiang Anhui Energy Co., Ltd.’s 660,000 tons/year coal-based distillate aromatics comprehensive utilization project was made. Project Name: Xinjiang Anhui Energy Co., Ltd.’s 660,000 tons/year coal-based distillate aromatics comprehensive utilization project. Nature of the project: New construction. Location of the project: Erdaohu Industrial Park, Xinxing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinxing City, 13th Division. Project overview: The project is expected to cover an area of 500 mu. A comprehensive utilization plant for producing aromatics from coal-based distillates with an annual capacity of 660,000 tons is to be constructed (including high-pressure hydrogenation and distillation units, low-pressure hydrogenation and aromatization units, extraction distillation units, and PSA gas separation units); along with supporting storage and transportation systems as well as loading/unloading facilities ； Comprehensive plant-wide engineering, utility systems, and auxiliary production facilities. On June 30, 2024, the five-day Eighth China-Asia Europe Expo came to a successful conclusion. The city and Xinjiang Hui’an Energy Co., Ltd. successfully signed a contract for a project aimed at the comprehensive utilization of aromatics produced from coal-based distillates, with an annual production capacity of 660,000 tons; the value of the contract was 920 million yuan. The project will be constructed in three phases. In Phase I, a 200,000-ton/year crude benzene hydrogenation unit, storage and transportation tank farm, and related supporting utility works and auxiliary facilities will be built. In Phase II, a 400,000-ton/year aromatization unit, storage and transportation tank farm, and related supporting utility works and auxiliary facilities will be constructed. In Phase III, a 60,000-ton/year phenol extraction unit, storage and transportation tank farm, and related supporting utility works and auxiliary facilities will be built.
