Coal-to-Liquids Compression: Shaangu Power Wins a RMB 94.5 Million Five-Train Package for the Hami Project
Shaangu Power has been named first-place winner of a five-train centrifugal compressor package — recycle gas and recycle hydrogen machines rated to a million normal cubic metres per hour — for an 800,000 t/y indirect coal-liquefaction project in Hami.
Lead
Xi'an Shaangu Power Co. (西安陕鼓动力股份有限公司) has been awarded a RMB 94.5 million package of five steam-turbine-driven centrifugal compressor trains for the coal indirect-liquefaction unit at CHN Energy's Hami energy integration and innovation base, according to trade-press reports of the award notice.
Facts
The award. The notice of award was issued on 2 September 2026 by the project's tendering agency under CHN Energy's first 2026 centralised procurement of chemical-equipment compressors, naming Shaangu Power the winner at RMB 94.5 million. Earlier candidate-stage publication had listed the company as the first-ranked candidate. (Sources: China Chemical Industry News (中化新网), 2026-09-02; the candidate-result notice as carried by financial media, 2026-08-31.)
The project. The Hami base's indirect-liquefaction unit has a nominal capacity of 800,000 tonnes per year, producing LPG, naphtha, liquid paraffin and diesel from coal through gasification, shift, purification and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. (Source: the same.)
The machines. Five centrifugal compressor trains, all steam-turbine driven: two Fischer–Tropsch recycle-gas trains (H₂/CO/CO₂/CH₄, inlet flow about 1.07 million Nm³/h, 2.66 MPa to 3.7 MPa); one refining recycle-hydrogen train (110,000 Nm³/h, 7.5 MPa to 8.6 MPa); one cracking recycle-hydrogen train (190,000 Nm³/h, 7.3 MPa to 8.85 MPa); and one feed-gas train (about 92,000 Nm³/h, 3.15 MPa to 6.0 MPa). (Source: the candidate-result notice.)
The qualification bar. The tender required bidders to hold at least one operating reference for a compressor train of one million Nm³/h or more on synthesis gas with a hydrogen share of at least 55 per cent and average molecular weight no greater than 17 — in service for over a year.

The maker's record. The coverage notes Shaangu Power's earlier deliveries in modern coal-chemical duty, including compressor trains for a methanol and ammonia project in Alxa delivered in 2021. (Source: China Chemical Industry News.)
