Successful Feeding of the First Gasifier in Shenhua Xinjiang’s 680,000-ton Coal-Based New Materials Project Author/Source: Date: May 23, 2016 Clicks: 79 At 3:58 a.m. on May 21, feeding into Unit 3 of the GE gasification plant as part of Shenhua Xinjiang’s coal-based new materials project was successful on the first attempt! The entire driving process was safe and smooth; after the materials were fed in, the entire gasification system operated stably with all parameters within normal ranges, laying a solid foundation for enabling the entire plant’s processes to function properly going forward! The successful commissioning of this large-scale gasification project once again demonstrates the maturity, reliability, and efficiency of GE’s gasification technology, as well as its broad adaptability to various types of coal found in the Xinjiang region. With the successful commissioning of the gasification unit, the Shenhua Xinjiang project will gradually become a model of GE’s innovative gasification service model. Thank you to the on-site service team for their hard work! Thank you to everyone who has participated, helped, and shown concern for this project for their strong support! The HOK gasification network is part of Shenhua Xinjiang’s 680,000-ton coal-based new materials project, whose total investment amounts to 22.3 billion yuan per month. This project utilizes GE’s water-coal slurry gasification technology to produce new materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene, while also generating high-value products like propane, C4 compounds, C5 compounds, and sulfur. It is the coal chemical project with the largest investment amount and scale of construction since the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is also the largest coal-to-olefins project in terms of production capacity. This project represents another application of GE’s gasification technology in large-scale coal-to-olefins projects, following those implemented at Shenhua Baotou, China National Coal Group, and Pucheng. The completion of this project has contributed positively to technological advancements in China’s fields of coal chemistry and coal-based combined production. This marks GE’s gasification technology playing a leading and exemplary role in large-scale coal chemical industries, the clean utilization of coal, energy conservation and environmental protection, as well as scientific and sustainable development.
