On June 2, the Guangdong Petrochemical Petroleum Coke Hydrogen Production Complex, which was under the overall PC contract of Huanqiu Company and constructed by Huanqiu Jilin Chemical Construction, was successfully handed over, marking the entry of China’s first 100% petroleum coke-based hydrogen production complex into the preparation phase for operation. The petroleum coke hydrogen production complex at Guangdong Petrochemical was put into operation on December 16, 2019. Covering an area of 220,000 square meters, the project involved the installation of 1,238 sets of equipment, the welding of 1.2 million inches of process pipelines, the pouring of 260,000 cubic meters of concrete, and the installation of 17,000 tons of steel structures. It is the largest single unit among all the facilities in Guangdong Petrochemical’s integrated refining and chemical processing complex, with the most structures, the greatest amount of concrete poured, and the highest number of equipment units installed. It is also China National Petroleum Corporation’s first petroleum coke hydrogen production facility. The entire facility comprises 6 gasification units that utilize GE’s 6.5 MPa rapid cooling gasification technology. Using petroleum coke, a by-product of oil refining plants, as raw material, and after undergoing conversion and purification processes, it supplies hydrogen and fuel gas to the entire plant. The annual production of hydrogen amounts to 1.6 billion standard cubic meters, while the annual production of fuel gas is 3.1 billion standard cubic meters; the consumption of petroleum coke is 231.09 tons per hour. On September 23, 2021, the shift gas scrubber tower of the petroleum coke hydrogenation complex’s purification unit was installed 6 days ahead of schedule; the lights were turned on in the tower, marking the successful completion of the installation of this large-scale tower structure ； On October 14, the main structure of the large concrete building was fully completed ； On December 30, the main structure of the coal transfer trestle was completed across its entire length. On March 8, 2022, the spherical space frame of the No. 1 circular stockyard was successfully topped out ； On April 25, the installation of the belt conveyor equipment was completed across the entire line ； On May 9, all three facilities – the two stations and the one facility – successfully received power in a single attempt, marking the beginning of the instrument circuit tests.
