I. Verification
The expert group conducted data verification and on-site inspection of the production site of Mengxin Cement Company and Bahrain Left Banner Hongyue Building Materials Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as Hongyue Building Materials Company). At the same time, the report reflected the demolition of some equipment in three enterprises, such as Xintianshan Cement .
(I) Mengxin Cement Company
Mengxin Cement Company was established on November 12, 2007, and its legal representative is Zhu Yongli. It is located in Nanta Industrial Park, Lindong Town, Bahrain Left Banner. After data verification, Mengxin Company provided the Reply to the Approval of the Project of Annual 660,000 Tons of Cement Grinding Station of Mengxin Cement Co., Ltd. in Bahrain Left Banner (Nei Fa Gai Gong Zi [2008] No.1165), environmental assessment, safety assessment and other relevant procedures. The construction content of the project is a cement grinding station with an annual output of 660,000 tons, which was completed and put into operation in October 2008. After on-site verification, the company has actually built a φ3.4 × 11.5m cement mill with a main motor power of 1600kW and a new G1410 roller press combined grinding system with a main motor power configuration of 2 × 630kW. The person in charge of the company introduced on the spot that in 2012, another φ2.4 × 13m ball mill and two φ2.2 × 11m ball mills were purchased for the production of ore powder. The production process of mineral powder is to dry the slag through a small drying equipment, and then enter the ball mill for grinding through metering to produce the finished product of mineral powder.
Hongyue Building Materials Company
Hongyue Building Materials Company was incorporated in 2021, and its legal representative is Wang Zhanquan. The company leased the site of Mengxin Cement Company and purchased three ore powder ball mills and supporting facilities purchased by Mengxin Cement Company in 2012 at a total price of 350000 yuan.

After on-site verification, a large amount of slag is piled up in the production site of Hongyue Building Materials Company, only the supporting feeding, storage, belt conveying and feeding systems are available, and there are no clinker , gypsum, admixture, grinding AIDS and other raw materials needed for cement production, as well as storage, transportation and metering facilities.
(3) The report reflects the dismantling
of ball milling equipment in three enterprises such as Xintianshan Cement. The Catalogue of Guidance for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024 edition) specifies that the eliminated equipment is "diameter 3". "Local people's governments at all levels and relevant departments shall order them to stop production or close down in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of the state". Xintianshan Cement Co., Ltd., Huanggang Cement Co., Ltd. and Dongxu Slag Powder Co., Ltd. produce cement with Φ2.6 × 9 m, Φ2.4 × 8 m and Φ2.4 × 13 m ball mills respectively. The Office of Industry and Information Technology of the Autonomous Region included three enterprises in the list of restricted and eliminated cement grinding production lines in the whole region and made an announcement on October 8, 2023. Three enterprises, such as Xintianshan Cement, dismantled the obsolete cement production equipment in accordance with the national industrial policy.
II. Verification opinions
After rigorous review and full discussion of on-site investigation, data access, data comparison and other links, the expert group has formed the following opinions:
(I) Mengxin Cement Company uses the mineral powder produced by Hongyue Building Materials Company to produce cement at the end of the grinding system. It is understood that this situation is quite common. Now the company no longer uses the mineral powder produced by Hongyue Company after the technical transformation.
(2) The three ball mills and their ancillary facilities of Hongyue Building Materials Company do not meet the technical conditions for cement production from the comprehensive evaluation of equipment performance, process flow and technical parameters. According to the provisions of the Catalogue for the Guidance of Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024 edition) that "those other than encouraged, restricted and eliminated categories, which conform to the relevant laws, regulations and policies of the state, belong to the permitted category", the three ball mills produced by Hongyue Building Materials Company belong to the permitted category.
(3) Hongyue Building Materials Company has not provided relevant procedures for project filing, energy saving and environmental assessment of mineral powder production.
