The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone talks about safety, and everyone knows how to handle emergencies; identifying and addressing risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- On May 22, 2026, Guoneng Ordos Chemical launched a tender through Guoneng e-Zhao for the coal liquefaction upgrade demonstration project, covering the gasification furnace, proprietary pulverized coal burners, as well as licensing for coal gasification technology, preparation of process packages, training, and technical services. The Ordos coal liquefaction upgrade demonstration project includes a new coal direct liquefaction production line with an annual capacity of 2.2 million tons, a coal indirect liquefaction production line with an annual capacity of 800,000 tons, along with a coal-to-gas production line capable of handling 1.2 million cubic meters per hour. The coal-to-gas production line supplies hydrogen for direct coal liquefaction and syngas for indirect coal liquefaction, while also providing a gas source for the 180,000 tons per year indirect coal liquefaction unit in the preliminary project. The construction scope of this project includes 17 process units such as coal liquefaction, hydroprocessing stabilization, oil product synthesis, oil product processing, and coal gasification, along with utility systems and auxiliary facilities. The tender requires bidders to have at least one proven track record of manufacturing contracts for gasifier equipment (with a maximum inner diameter of the gasifier ≥ Φ3000 mm). Provide 1 technical licensing agreement for a single gasification furnace with an effective synthesis gas production capacity of ≥220,000 (inclusive) standard cubic meters per hour of synthesis gas (carbon monoxide + hydrogen); the licensed technology is powder coal gasification technology. The Shenhua Direct Coal Liquefaction Project of the Ordos Coal-to-Oil Branch is located in the Wulamulun project area of the Ordos Shengyuan Coal Chemical Industry Base. The first production line has an annual total capacity of 1.26 million tons for oil products, comprising a coal direct liquefaction line with a capacity of 1.08 million tons per year and a coal-based synthetic oil line with a capacity of 180,000 tons per year. Construction on the project began in 2004. The 1.08 million-ton coal direct liquefaction production line utilizes Shell gasification, as well as Shenhua’s own developed direct synthetic oil technology and catalysts. At present, the 1.08 million-ton coal direct liquefaction production line is operating normally, while the 180,000-ton coal-based synthetic oil production line has not been put into operation due to a lack of syngas feedstock.
