Take a look at the “cutting-edge technologies” on this device 105——Achieving simultaneous industrial emission reduction and economic growth
Thread Content
If you work in a chemical company, have you noticed this phenomenon: in many industrial parks, various companies operate their facilities based on their own conditions and parameters, which results in the generation of by-products or industrial waste that requires cost-effective disposal. Yet some companies actually need such by-products or industrial waste as raw materials for their own production. Due to information asymmetry or inadequate technology, these companies often fail to take advantage of each other’s resources. The case presented today is one of cooperation between two chemical companies within the industrial park, resulting in a win-win situation where industrial emissions reduction and economic growth proceed together.

Case: Yangzi Petrochemical Company has a carbon monoxide production facility that originally used the natural gas steam reforming process to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The design aimed at using carbon dioxide generated by other facilities within the company as raw material, thereby ensuring high yields of carbon monoxide while minimizing the consumption of water vapor and natural gas. However, the instability in the supply of carbon dioxide from outside the system causes the composition of the feed used in the process to deviate significantly from the designed values, and operation of the cold box and conversion furnace is also subject to many uncertainties, which greatly limits the increase in the production capacity of carbon monoxide products.
To address the issue of unstable raw material supply, the company conducted research within the industrial park to understand the carbon dioxide emission levels of various enterprises there. It ultimately determined the best approach for recycling the carbon dioxide products produced by Nanhua Company. Additionally, it carried out assessments of the existing pipeline facilities among the enterprises, conducted professional evaluations of the suitability of catalysts used in carbon monoxide production systems, and held multiple specialized seminars. All these efforts were taken to ensure that the project would meet both economic and safety standards once implemented.
Carbon dioxide discharged by Nanhua Company is introduced as a raw material through closed transfer pipelines. This innovative approach is expected to recover 47,600 tons of carbon dioxide per year and increase the production of carbon monoxide by 22,500 tons. It represents a practical example of breaking through traditional production boundaries through a holistic approach; it not only helps to overcome capacity constraints but also strengthens the collaborative development of enterprises within the industrial park. More importantly, it opens up a new path for achieving simultaneous reductions in industrial emissions and economic growth, setting a benchmark for the industry.
