The Tuke Chemical Branch (图克化工分公司) is a large-scale coal-to-chemicals facility operated by China Coal Ordos Energy & Chemical Co., Ltd., located in Tuke Industrial Park, Wushen Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. The project was commissioned and began operations in August 2013, with a total investment of approximately 20 billion yuan.

Production Plants and Capacity

Phase I Operations (currently operational):​

• Coal Gasification: Approximately 295,000 Nm³/h total capacity
• Synthetic Ammonia: 1 million tonnes per year
• Urea: 1.75 million tonnes per year (large-particle urea)
• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): 250,000 tonnes per year​
• Mid-temperature Coal Tar: 300,000 tonnes per year​
• Crude Phenol and other byproducts​

Overall Project Capacity (when fully completed - Phase I + Phase II):​

• Synthetic Ammonia: 2 million tonnes per year
• Urea: 3.5 million tonnes per year

The facility is recognized as one of the world's largest fertilizer projects.

Supporting Units

The facility includes integrated supporting units:​

• Air separation unit (ASU) for oxygen production
• Utilities and infrastructure systems
• Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment system producing industrial-grade NaCl and Na₂SO₄

The facility is recognized as one of the world's largest fertilizer projects.

Environmental Performance

The Tuke facility operates with zero liquid discharge wastewater treatment technology, making it a pioneering project in China's coal chemical industry for water conservation. The crystalline salt separation unit produces industrial-grade sodium chloride and sodium sulfate, with no wastewater discharged from the entire facility.
