The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and know how to handle emergencies; risks and hazards need to be identified and addressed. -------------------------------------------------- Recently, the Chifeng City Ecology and Environment Bureau issued a public notice regarding the acceptance of the environmental impact assessment report for the 90,000 tons per year tar hydrogenation and benzene extraction project carried out by Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketeng Coal-to-Natural Gas Co., Ltd. To vigorously develop the circular economy and extend the project’s industrial chain, Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketeng Coal-to-Natural Gas Co., Ltd. plans to utilize the self-produced tar #0 by-product from the project (which is currently sold externally in its entirety) to construct a new tar hydrogenation and benzene extraction unit within the existing plant area. This unit will produce benzene, toluene, and xylene, while also generating small quantities of heavy benzene and non-aromatic hydrocarbons as by-products. Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketeng Coal-to-Natural Gas Co., Ltd. The project involves the construction of a facility for hydrodealkylation of tar to produce benzene, with a capacity of 90,000 tons per year. Nature of the project: Expansion. Location: Keshiketeng Industrial Park, Darhanwula Sumu, Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. This site is an unused area within the existing premises of Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketeng Coal-to-Natural Gas Co., Ltd. Constructor: Inner Mongolia Datang International Keshiketeng Coal-to-Natural Gas Co., Ltd. Scale of construction: A facility capable of processing 90,000 tons of tar per year via hydrodealkylation to produce benzene. Contents of construction: Construction of a new plant for processing 90,000 tons of tar annually through hydrodealkylation; key components include a hydrogenation unit, an extraction unit, an expanded PSA hydrogen production unit, product storage and loading/unloading facilities, as well as auxiliary production facilities. Investment: The total investment in the project amounts to 179.85 million yuan, of which 5.25 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for 2.92% of the overall investment. Labor quota and working hours system: This project involves an increase of 39 new labor members ； The production workshop operates on a four-shift, three-turn system; management staff work on a single-shift basis, working 333 days per year, 24 hours a day, for a total of 8,000 hours per year.
