Recently, the **Energy Group’s Hami Energy Integration and Innovation Base project launched a tender for key equipment, marking the official start of the procurement process for the core equipment needed for the coal-to-oil project. The scope of this tender includes \"indirect liquefaction long-cycle and oversized stationary equipment,\" involving a total of 26 large-scale stationary units with a combined weight of nearly 10,000 tons; the installation will be carried out in two lots. Based on the details of the tender, the FTO synthesis reactor is one of the key equipment in this project, which relates to the 800,000 tons per year coal indirect liquefaction facility. Public information indicates that the project is located in Bariqun County, Hami, Xinjiang. The first phase of the coal-to-oil project covers an area of approximately 411 hectares, and 19 processing units are planned to be built there, giving it a relatively large scale. This tender not only involves a large number of devices but also has fairly clear time requirements. According to the tender documents, the reactor vessel must be delivered within 480 days after the contract is signed, while the completion time for key processes such as overhead assembly welding is 30 days. The relevant time milestones have been included in the delivery requirements, which also means that the coordination between equipment manufacturing and on-site installation is being further clarified. In terms of equipment characteristics, the items involved in this tender are all static equipment with long cycles and exceeding size limits. Such equipment typically has a long production cycle and high requirements for transportation arrangements, and plays a significant role as a key milestone in the construction of large-scale coal chemical projects. The initiation of the bidding process means that the relevant equipment has entered the stage of procurement and manufacturing arrangements. The total investment in this base project exceeds 55.9 billion yuan, with coal-to-oil being an important component of it. The tendering for the installation of these nearly 10,000-tonne of static equipment indicates that the project’s progress regarding its core equipment has moved on to more specific procurement stages.
