On April 22, the Ecological and Environmental Protection Industry Association of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region announced the first information on public participation in the environmental impact assessment of the 10 million t/a coal quality classification and comprehensive utilization demonstration project of Xinjiang Taiheng Energy and Chemical Co., Ltd.

Project name: Xinjiang Taiheng Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. 10 million t/a coal quality classification comprehensive utilization demonstration project.

Project site selection: Coal Chemical Industrial Park in Shanshan County, Turpan, Xinjiang.

Project outline: It mainly builds production units such as coal pyrolysis units, pyrolysis gas purification units, LNG liquefaction units, air compression stations, and general substations serving the production units, circulating water, desalinated water stations, sewage treatment, heat exchange stations, fire-fighting pump rooms, torches, slag warehouses, coal unloading and storage and other auxiliary facilities, and warehousing and transportation and other supporting facilities such as warehouses and tank farms.

It is reported that the total investment of the project is 10,097.448 million yuan. The project pyrolyzes 10 million tons/a of low-grade coal in a dry and pyrolysis integrated kiln to produce pyrolysis gas and upgraded coal. Among them, the upgraded coal is cooled and humidified and then delivered as a finished product; the wet gas is passed through a pyrolysis gas purification device to produce crude purified gas, coal tar, sulfur, crude phenol, liquid ammonia and other products; the crude purified gas is subjected to decarbonization and cryogenic separation. LNG and LPG products are produced. The total construction period of the project (excluding the previous period) is expected to be 36 months, including design, equipment procurement, civil construction, equipment pipeline installation and commissioning.
