On October 27, the management committee of Dalu Park held a meeting to discuss the preparatory work needed before the commencement of operations at Inner Mongolia Beikong Jingtai Energy Development Co., Ltd. The meeting was chaired by Gao Huaijing, the secretary of the Party working committee; Yang Yongjun and Yang Fusen, vice directors of the management committee, Zong Haijun, the chairman of Inner Mongolia Beikong Energy, along with other company leaders and representatives from various departments of the management committee attended the meeting. At the meeting, the responsible person from Beikong Energy discussed various issues related to resource allocation, land approval processes, preliminary design, land grading in the project area, the area in front of the plant, and the area where equipment is located; as well as the selection of sites for temporary facilities, substations, waste storage areas, and handling of ash and slag. Environmental impact assessments were also among the topics addressed. In response to the questions raised by the enterprise, the relevant departments in the park provided detailed replies. When discussing issues such as site leveling and the location of temporary structures, the Park Planning Office provided answers regarding the site leveling design plans and the selection of locations for temporary structures. Located in the Dali Industrial Park of Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, this project utilizes local coal resources and employs technologies such as pressurized gasification of coal fragments, pressurized gasification of pulverized coal, and methanization to produce 4 billion standard cubic meters of synthetic natural gas per year. The main processes include devices for coal gasification, pulverized coal gasification, purification, methanation, phenol-amine recovery, sulfur recovery, and air separation. Auxiliary facilities mainly include coal-fired boilers, tank areas, coal storage yards and depots, desalination stations, circulating water systems, etc. Environmental protection projects mainly include sewage treatment systems, reclaimed water treatment systems, evaporation crystallization units, waste gas treatment devices, flares, and hazardous waste temporary storage areas. The main product of this project is 4 billion standard cubic meters per year of synthetic natural gas, along with by-products such as crude oil, tar, naphtha, sulfur, liquid ammonia, ammonium sulfate, crude phenol, industrial sodium chloride, and industrial sodium sulfate.
