Orchid New Materials Branch Company completed its annual caprolactam production target ahead of schedule. Author/Source: Orchid News; Date: December 30, 2021; Page views: 27. As of December 22, the company had produced a total of 142,190 tons of caprolactam (high-speed spinning grade). This figure represents a completion of the 142,000-ton production target set by the parent company for the year 2021, nine days ahead of schedule. It also signifies that the company’s energy-saving and efficiency-enhancing project, which aimed to increase production capacity from 10,000 tons to 14,000 tons per year, has been successfully implemented. To address the bottlenecks in the production process, functional departments take the lead in organizing technical efforts to ensure that production and operational tasks are completed. At the same time, close attention is paid to changes in the upstream and downstream markets; production and operations are seamlessly integrated, the load on various facilities is adjusted appropriately, and a low-inventory operation model is adopted to maximize efficiency. Organize scientifically to ensure the long-term safe operation of the system. Strengthen internal control management and strictly regulate various process parameters ； Strengthen the efforts in identifying process issues and implementing corrective actions; for potential hazards that could affect production, timely develop preventive measures and ensure their implementation through monitoring. Take advantage of downtime caused by external factors to address these hazards systematically, thereby ensuring the long-term, continuous, and safe operation of the system. Technological innovation to reduce production costs. We have stepped up efforts in technological innovation and optimized the production process. Through technical modifications such as recovering the residual liquid from hydrogen peroxide oxidation, installing a cooler at the syngas inlet, and using magnetic levitation blowers in the wastewater treatment system, the syngas yield has been increased from 85% to over 90% ； In wastewater treatment, magnetic suspension fans are used in place of the previous Roots fans, reducing operational energy consumption by about 30% per year; this results in annual electricity cost savings of around 670,000 yuan. Use evaluations to drive improvement and strictly uphold the bottom lines of safety and environmental protection. Taking the creation of a company that meets secondary safety standards and an enterprise rated A in terms of environmental sustainability as an opportunity, the company focuses on addressing key issues, assigns clear responsibilities, and adheres strictly to the evaluation systems and requirements. It implements strict safety controls for tasks such as maintenance work, hot work, and confined space operations, ensuring that the company’s people, machinery, materials, and environment remain in a safe state at all times ； In terms of environmental protection, we have strictly controlled the emission indicators for “three types of furnaces and one type of wastewater”, stepped up efforts to reduce dust and emissions, exercised strict control at the source and rigorous management throughout the process, thereby significantly improving the air quality within the plant area.
