Fuyou Technology has developed combined coal-based process technologies such as coal pyrolysis, hydrogenation of medium and low temperature coal tar full fractions to produce more intermediate distillate oil, efficient impurity removal and aromatics saturation of naphtha to produce cycloalkane chemicals. The company is the leading producer of methylcyclohexane, light white oil, transformer oil and aerospace special oils obtained from medium and low temperature coal tar.

Low-grade coal, which accounts for about 55% of the total coal resources in Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, has low carbon content and calorific value, and relatively high tar yield and hydrogen and oxygen content. The characteristics of the feedstock is conducive to efficient transformation and utilization through medium and low temperature pyrolysis.

Fuyou Technology's pyrolysis process product is separated into three substances: gas (coal gas), liquid (coal tar), and solid (semi-coke), and further converted to obtain clean fuels such as oil, gas, and electricity, as well as high value-added chemical products. The company has built and put into use China's first 170,000 tons/year medium and low temperature coal tar full-fraction hydrogenation high-yield intermediate distillate oil industrial demonstration unit and a 500,000 tons/year coal tar full-fraction hydrogenation production cycloalkane oil unit, promoting the high-end transformation of coal tar and realizing the transformation of coal from a single fuel to diversified products.

The naphtha separation unit now produces 80,000 tpy naphtha, which is converted mainly into cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and dimethylcyclohexane. Fuyou Technology is the largest methylcyclohexane producer in China, with an annual output of 30,000 tonnes, accounting for 85% of the market share. The company has also laid out industrial chain extension projects to produce high value-added products such as ethylcyclohexane.

The world’s largest coal-based ethanol production plant has started test runs in southeastern China, state media reported.

The plant, which has an annual capacity of 600,000 tonnes, uses coal rather than crops as raw materials to produce ethanol – a petrol additive and valuable basic chemical. This is expected to ease the pressure on China’s food sources while reducing its dependence on fuel ethanol imports.

The coal-based plant in Huaibei, Anhui province, with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tonnes, uses advanced technology jointly developed by the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) and the state-owned Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Group, state news agency Xinhua (photo) reported.

The new technology, called DMTE, produces methanol from coke oven gas – a by-product of coke production – which then reacts with other materials to generate ethanol. It can enable large-scale production of ethanol not only from coal, but natural gas or gas from steel plants as well, according to the DICP report.

China is the only country known to have deployed the technology on an industrial level.
