Xinghua Group’s ammonia-alcohol production system has been in continuous operation for over 339 days. Author/Source: Xinghua Group. Date: 2021-09-14. Clicks: 36. As of September 9, the chemical methanol production system in the synthesis workshop had been operating continuously for 339 days, achieving the best performance on record. The production of chemical synthetic ammonia in August was 33,200 tons, setting the highest monthly production level this year. By the end of August, the production of methanol in the chemical sector had reached 77.78% of the annual target, while the production of synthetic ammonia reached 77.17% of the annual target; the group’s overall synthetic ammonia production reached 131.22% of the annual target. Since the beginning of this year, the ammonia production system has had to operate at 70% of its capacity for 4.5 months as part of the measures taken in response to severe air pollution conditions. Additionally, due to the poor heat exchange efficiency of the water coolers used in ammonia synthesis during hot weather, the system is unable to fully utilize its production capacity, which significantly affects the production targets set by the company ； Affected by the hot weather, the heat exchangers used in the methanol distillation process operate at high temperatures for extended periods, which becomes a bottleneck affecting methanol production ； Large-scale units also face certain limitations that prevent the ammonia-alcohol production system from operating at full capacity.
