Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary thread – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** Recently, good news came from the near-zero-carbon steel production line at Baosteel Zhanjiang, developed by MCC SEDI: the pneumatic transportation system for hot-directly reduced iron has been fully operational! The single-stage cantilevered fully assembled centrifugal compressor provided by SHENGU Group served as the sole \"power source\" for the pneumatic conveying cycle system, enabling the smooth commissioning of the project. It helped the metallurgical process move away from reliance on traditional fossil fuels, setting a model for the green transformation of the steel industry. Zero-carbon steelmaking: the special significance of this production line lies in the full domesticization of its entire process. China’s first 1-million-ton hydrogen-based shaft furnace equipped with an electric furnace hot delivery system – from the hydrogen-based shaft furnace process to the key mechanical equipment – represents the result of collaboration among Zhanjiang Iron and Steel, MCC SEDI, and Shenyang Steam Turbine Group, which has enabled a complete break away from reliance on foreign technology. For the industry, this means that hydrogen metallurgy is no longer an expensive experiment relying on \"imported equipment and foreign processes\", but rather a Chinese solution that can be adopted and replicated. From “carbon metallurgy” to “hydrogen metallurgy”, a single character difference reflects a fundamental change in the principles of metallurgical processing. A near-zero carbon production line refers to a green production line that employs a short-process smelting process of “hydrogen-based shaft furnace + electric furnace”. Unlike the traditional long-process of \"blast furnace + converter,\" it uses \"hydrogen\" instead of \"carbon\" as a reducing agent for smelting, thereby reducing carbon emissions at the source. This project is expected to achieve a 50%-80% reduction in carbon emissions, with annual CO2 reductions of over 3.14 million tons – equivalent to the creation of 2,000 square kilometers of forest. The hydrogen metallurgy process has long been under foreign technological monopoly, with the core challenges lying in the dual difficulties of complex operating conditions and limited space. This project requires that a single compression unit be capable of handling 6 typical operating conditions, with a very wide range of operation ; At the same time, the space available on site is limited, which requires a very high degree of integration of the units. Shenmu’s technical team adopted a high-efficiency, wide-range impeller design, resulting in a significant improvement in multi-speed efficiency ; The overall leveraging design further reduces the floor space, enabling maximum power output in limited spaces. "This is not a simple application of standard products; it involves customization across the entire process, from pneumatic design to structural layout. " The client’s project leader revealed that the SHENGU team conducted repeated optimizations taking into account the special properties of nitrogen as a working medium, and the unit delivered as a result became what the client considered the \"heart of power\". At the same time, facing a contract delivery deadline of only 6 months, SHENGU arranged production in advance and coordinated efforts to ensure timely shipment. During the installation phase, the service team was on-site to coordinate matters, respond promptly to any issues that arose, and ensure smooth progress through all project stages, thereby demonstrating the unique advantage of domestic high-end equipment in terms of response speed.
