On the Gobi Desert in Zhundong, another industrial upheaval is brewing. Recently, the energy and chemical industry upgrading project under Xinjiang Xuefeng Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. has taken a crucial step - officially entering the first stage of public participation in environmental impact assessment. This means that the super large coal chemical project with a total investment of 8773288800 yuan is one step closer to groundbreaking.

The project is invested and constructed by Xinjiang Xuefeng Energy Chemical Co., Ltd., and is located in Xiheshan Industrial Park, Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xinjiang. As a national energy base, Zhundong Development Zone is known as the coal sea of Xinjiang. Its Xiheshan Mountain Industrial Park relies on high-quality coal resources such as Hongshaquan open-pit mine, and focuses on core industries such as coal-fired power and coal to gas production. The arrival of the Xuefeng Energy Project coincides with the industrial positioning of the park, and will fully leverage local resource endowments to achieve coordinated development.

Billion dollar investment in Zhundong

This is not a small-scale expansion, but a big game of starting from scratch. The project belongs to a newly built industrial project with a total construction investment of 8773288800 yuan. Currently, Xinjiang Damei Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. has been commissioned to carry out environmental impact assessment work, and the basic engineering design bidding for key devices has been completed one after another. The preliminary preparations are steadily progressing.

Xiheshan Industrial Park is an important part of the layout of 1 city and 4 parks in Zhundong Development Zone. The abundant coal reserves and superior mining conditions here provide a unique raw material guarantee for coal chemical projects. The implementation of the Xuefeng Energy Project will further strengthen the coal based industrial chain in the park, form a cluster effect with surrounding coal-fired and coal to gas projects, and truly turn black gold into real gold.

Full industry chain device unveiled

Opening the project planning diagram, a complete modern chemical production system leaps onto the paper. The project construction system covers production equipment, public supporting facilities, and environmental protection facilities. The core production equipment includes air separation, gasification, transformation, gas water separation, phenol ammonia recovery, low-temperature methanol washing, liquid nitrogen washing and methane recovery, electrolytic water hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, urea, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, UAN compound fertilizer, VOCs treatment and other devices.

At the same time, public utilities such as boilers, water supply and drainage, and various auxiliary facilities will also be constructed simultaneously. The production, office, environmental protection facilities, and roads throughout the plant area will be fully equipped. It is worth mentioning that the project has specially introduced an electrolytic water hydrogen production device, reflecting the development direction of green and low-carbon, and has strong demonstration significance in the field of coal chemical industry.

Diversified products release production capacity

The project is designed to run for 8000 hours annually, and upon completion, it can achieve an annual output of 400000 tons of ammonium nitrate, 600000 tons of urea, and 200000 tons of UAN compound fertilizer. Its production process takes the abundant coal in Zhundong as the core raw material, and through a series of processes such as raw material gasification and transformation purification, optimizes the synthesis gas hydrogen ammonia ratio to achieve the optimal production conditions.

The purified synthesis gas is used to prepare intermediate product liquid ammonia through an ammonia synthesis device, and then qualified agricultural urea and urea solution are produced through urea synthesis and granulation processes. The remaining liquid ammonia is further processed to produce products such as nitric acid, liquid ammonium nitrate, granular ammonium nitrate, and porous ammonium nitrate. During the peak shaving operation phase of the device, it can also produce agricultural UAN products, while producing various by-products such as CNG, tar, ammonium sulfate, etc., achieving resource depletion and diversified output.keywords:New energy information network

From a piece of coal to a bag of fertilizer, the Xuefeng Energy Project is outlining a complete coal based circular economy industrial chain on the Zhundong Gobi Desert. With the promotion of environmental impact assessment publicity, this super project is expected to turn from a blueprint into a reality as soon as possible, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of Xinjiang's modern coal chemical industry.Editor/Yang Meiling
