Indonesia: China's Delong, New Tianjin commences 4.7 MTPA Detian Coking project

China's Delong Group and New Tianjin Steel are partnering on two projects to further develop steel-making capacity in Indonesia.

New Tianjin Steel - a subsidiary of Delong Group, Tsingshan Group and Risun Group - signed a contract to build Detian Coking Project, together with supporting facilities such as gas purifiers. The new coke plant will produce 4.7 million tonnes (mn t) per year of metallurgical (met) coke.

Dexin Steel Indonesia is a joint venture of Delong Steel Singapore (under Delong Steel), Shanghai Decent Investment Group (under Tsingshan) and PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park. After completion, the smelting capacity of these long-route steel mills is 6 mn t/annum, occupying an area of 260 hectares for the phase I project.

On 1 Sep'21, Detian Coking (Indonesia) Co., Ltd., a joint venture of New Tianjin Steel Group (owned by Delong Steel), Tsingshan Group and Risun Group (world's largest independent coking enterprise) held a grand groundbreaking ceremony.

The designed coking capacity is 4.7 mn t/annum, equipped along with coal gas purification devices and requisite supporting facilities, taking up an area of 39 hectares.

Chairman Xuyang Weishan and General Manager Gao Xuege, and Qingshan Park Engineering Technology Department Deputy General Manager Dong Jinjun attended the ceremony.

Mr. Yan stated, "Chairman Ding Liguo pointed out at the meeting many times that the progress of Detian Coking Project must overcome current difficulties and start construction as scheduled. Although it is currently in a special period of the epidemic, a large number of construction workers cannot go abroad to participate in construction. We must still have firm confidence in overcoming all difficulties, build a first-class coking project, and hand in a satisfactory answer to the group."

Detian Coking (Indonesia) Co., Ltd. was established by the investment holding of Xintian Steel Group and the participation of Qingshan Group and Risun Group. It plans to build a coke oven with a coke production capacity of 4.7 million tons per year, as well as supporting gas purification equipment and necessary public auxiliary facilities. The construction of the Detian coking project is Xintian Steel Group and Dexin Group actively responding to the national "One Belt and One Road" call, implementing the domestic and international dual-cycle development pattern, and contributing greater strength to the country's "14th Five-Year Plan".
