Jindadi Jinhua Furnace 3.0 improves efficiency once again, earning it the title of \"Energy Efficiency Leader\" in the petroleum and chemical industry. Author/Source: Jinhua Furnace Date: 2020-09-23 Clicks: 7 At the beginning of September, the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation organized an online event to announce the winners of the 2019 \"Energy Efficiency Leader\" awards in the petroleum and chemical industry, as well as to promote energy-saving technologies. At the press conference, the list of benchmark enterprises and their performance indicators for energy efficiency among key energy-consuming products in the petroleum and chemical industries in 2019 was announced. Among enterprises producing soda ash via the ammonia-soda process, Jindadi Company continued to rank first in both indicators: it recorded a comprehensive energy consumption of 137 kilograms of standard coal per ton of light soda ash, and an ammonia consumption of 330 kilograms per ton of light soda ash. This figure is 31 kg lower than the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of light soda ash (in kg of standard coal) of 168 kg of standard coal/ton, which was announced in the first release of the Energy Efficiency “Leaders” list in 2011; this represents an 18.45% decrease. Implementing the energy efficiency \"leader\" program is an important measure to thoroughly implement the Guidelines issued by the State Council on Promoting Structural Adjustment, Transformation, and Improved Efficiency in the petrochemical industry. It involves continuing to push for structural adjustments, phasing out outdated production capacities, changing the mode of development, enhancing innovation capabilities, persisting in efforts to reduce energy consumption and emissions, raising the level of green development, and strengthening the capacity for sustainable development. Jindadi Company adopts a \"market-oriented\" and \"innovation-driven\" development strategy, always regarding energy conservation, cost reduction, and improved efficiency as the key factors for the company’s survival, development, and continuous enhancement of its competitiveness. Technically, the company has introduced advanced and mature energy-saving technologies from the industry, such as the Swiss KASARI synthesis tower and Hangyang’s air separation technology. It has also boldly adopted the new gas production technology of the Jinhua Furnace. Leveraging R&D platforms provided by Zhejiang Supec and renowned domestic universities and design institutes, the company has innovatively integrated various new energy-saving technologies into its production system, thereby continuously improving its energy efficiency year after year. In terms of management, the company diligently implements the control strategy of “plan control, process optimization, lump-sum maintenance, and ensuring long-term stability in safety, environmental protection, and operations”, thereby achieving safe, stable, and continuous production while effectively enhancing its overall energy efficiency. The gasification unit of the synthetic ammonia relocation and renovation project at Henan Jindadi Chemical Co., Ltd. utilizes the water-cooled wall waste boiler gasifier technology for water-coal slurry developed by Beijing Qingchuang Jinhua Technology Co., Ltd. (Jinhua Furnace 3.0); the effective gas production capacity per furnace is 80,000 Nm3/h (CO+H2), with a gasification pressure of 6.5 MPaG. There are two units in operation and one as backup. Since a successful feed addition on February 2, 2019, and the ammonia synthesis unit reaching 100% of its capacity on May 8, the average daily production of ammonia has exceeded the designed value of 1,800 tons. The two Jinhua furnaces with 3.0-class waste heat boilers generate 145 tons of high-pressure steam per hour; the steam produced as a by-product of gasification amounts to over 1.94 tons per ton of ammonia produced. Overall, the plant generates approximately 4.6 tons of steam per ton of ammonia, with an electricity consumption of 210 kWh per ton of ammonia – demonstrating significant energy-saving effects.
