Let’s give praise and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** Recently, China National Petroleum Corporation’s first fully domestically produced 40-megapascal, high-capacity centrifugal gas injection compressor was installed at the Yahai gas storage facility in the Tarim Oil Field. The deployment of this core equipment marks the first time in China that 100% domestic production of complete sets of equipment has been achieved in the field of gas storage facilities, breaking the foreign technological monopoly and providing new technical support for ensuring **energy security. The Yaha gas storage facility is located in Kuqa City, Aksu Region, Xinjiang, and it is the first deep-operating condensate gas reservoir storage facility in China. “During the database construction process, an inflation pressure of 40 megapascals can be regarded as the ‘industry benchmark’. Previously, the core technologies required for this level were under control of foreign manufacturers, resulting in high prices and long supply lead times. ”Zhang Yong, a second-level engineer in the equipment department of the Dina Oil and Gas Production Management Area in the Tarim Oil Field, said that the domestically developed high-pressure centrifugal compressor unit can process 5.5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, achieve an injection pressure of up to 40 megapascals, and have a motor power of 23 megawatts, all of which help to significantly improve the efficiency of gas injection into storage reservoirs. While advancing the construction of the Yaaha gas storage facility, Tarim Oilfield Company, in collaboration with Shenyang Blower Group Co., Ltd., carried out joint research on key technologies such as high-pressure cylinder design, high-pressure rotor dynamics and sealing technology, as well as efficient flow models. As a result, they successfully developed key core components and complete set of technologies with full independent intellectual property rights. After rigorous testing, this domestically developed centrifugal compression unit for gas storage tanks with a pressure rating of 40 MPa has achieved international advanced levels in terms of mechanical operation and performance parameters, filling a gap in China’s industry. It is understood that once this 40 MPa high-pressure centrifugal compressor is successfully put into use, the related technologies can be widely applied in industries such as petroleum and petrochemicals, chemicals, and metallurgy, making it highly valuable for promotion.
