Recently, the two controllably heat-transferring shift reactors developed by Lanshi Heavy Equipment for the renovation project of the shift unit at Methanol Plant No. 1 of Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Baofeng Energy”) have been completed and are about to be shipped out of the factory. The reform project for the shift unit at Baofeng Energy’s methanol plant utilizes industry-leading isothermal shift technology. The two 4-meter-diameter controlled heat-transfer (isothermal) shift reactors developed by Lanshi Heavy Equipment for this project integrate the shift reaction with heat removal; the reaction temperature is controlled through internal heat transfer tubes to achieve isothermal shifting. These reactors completely replace the traditional adiabatic shift units, addressing industry issues such as excessive operating temperatures and short catalyst lifetimes in the pulverized coal gasification process, and significantly improving the operational stability and economic efficiency of the equipment. During the development process, the R&D and design center of Lanshi Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. worked in close collaboration with the refining and chemical subsidiary, formulating targeted solutions to address technical challenges and key manufacturing aspects, as well as establishing detailed control measures for critical stages. The various manufacturing workshops coordinated resource allocation in a scientific manner, optimized the sequence of production processes, and formed teams of technical experts to focus on the key manufacturing stages, making concerted efforts to overcome challenges and successfully completing the equipment manufacturing tasks. The shift converter can be regarded as the “heart” of the modern coal chemical industry chain, carrying out the critical carbon monoxide shift reaction in the production of ammonia, methanol, and other clean energy products. The controllable heat transfer conversion furnace developed by Lanshi Heavy Equipment has enhanced the quality and efficiency of customers’ projects by providing advanced equipment; it has set a benchmark for \"Lanshi-made\" products in the field of coal chemical equipment, contributing to the advancement and greening of the coal chemical industry.
