At 3:06 a.m. on December 18, the hydrogenation refining unit of the coal-to-oil synthesis plant in Shenhua Ningmei’s 4 million tons per year coal-to-oil project began to process stable heavy oil; after several adjustments to the operating conditions, qualified diesel was produced at 8:00 a.m. At 22:16 on December 5, the FTO synthesis reactor in Series I of the synthetic oil plant of Shenhua Ningmei’s 4 million tons per year coal-to-oil project began to receive feedstock. On December 6, FTO light oil and stabilized heavy oil were produced; on December 9, at 15:18, stabilized wax was produced, and at 23:03, qualified wax was produced. This provided a stable supply of raw materials for further hydrogenation refining and cracking units to produce blended oil products. The synthetic oil plant is a core component of Shenhua Ningmei Group’s 4 million tons per year coal indirect liquefaction project; its main function is to convert fresh syngas from the purification units into products such as blended diesel, naphtha, and liquefied petroleum gas. The construction scale is an annual production of 4.052 million tons of petroleum products, including: 2.733 million tons of blended diesel, 983,000 tons of naphtha, and 336,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas.
