300,000-ton coal-based synthetic ammonia project with co-production of urea and melamine in Guazhou County

Thread Content

In 2026, during the 25th National “Safety Production Month”, everyone is encouraged to prioritize safety and be capable of responding to emergencies; efforts will also be made to identify and rectify potential risks and hazards. -------------------------------------------------- Project background: The Liugou Coal Chemical Industry Park in Guazhou County serves as a transshipment hub for coal transported from Xinjiang to other regions and from Inner Mongolia southward. It is a crucial passageway for coal shipments from the Junggar Basin, Hami region in Xinjiang, as well as the Mazongshan area in Subei County. It is estimated that by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the consumption and export of coal in Guazhou will exceed 100 million tons. The coal is mainly low-rank lignite, long-flame coal, and anticalcare coal, making it suitable for the development of coal gasification for ammonia production and related downstream industries. As a provincial-level chemical industry park, the Liugou Coal Chemical Industry Park boasts well-developed infrastructure, including water supply, power supply, roads, sewage treatment, and solid waste management. It is located 400 kilometers from the Naomaohu mining area in Hami, Xinjiang, and 130 kilometers from the Mazongshan mining area in Subei; thus, it enjoys low logistics costs ； The installed capacity of energy generation in Guazhou has reached 20 million kilowatts. Abundant coal resources, reliable power supply, and well-developed infrastructure provide the necessary support for the implementation of projects, thereby facilitating the high-end transformation of the regional coal chemical industry. Construction contents: Construct a plant capable of producing 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia per year from coal. Additionally, build a 500,000-ton/year urea plant and a 100,000-ton/year melamine plant. Supporting facilities such as environmental protection systems, fire protection systems, offices, and warehouses will also be constructed. Construction location: Industrial Concentration Zone of Guazhou County (Liugou Coal Chemical Industry Park). Production factors: The Liugou Coal Chemical Industry Park is a provincially recognized chemical industry park. It has completed the feasibility study regarding 11 million tons of water resources; currently, its annual water supply capacity stands at 5 million tons. The water price is 3 yuan per cubic meter during the construction phase and 4 yuan per cubic meter during the production phase ； An industrial wastewater treatment plant with a daily capacity of 10,000 tons has been built ； Electricity supply price: 0.38–0.42 yuan/kWh ； The land price is 56,000 yuan per mu ； The Liugou steam supply station and the 6 million-kilowatt thermal power units at the Changle Power Plant can meet substantial steam supply demands, with a minimum price of 130 yuan per ton ； A hazardous materials parking lot with 200 parking spaces has been built, along with special emergency fire response stations, solid (hazardous) waste landfills, as well as facilities for roads, water supply, and power supply. The project relies primarily on the abundant coal resources available in Xinjiang for its raw materials.
