Safety first. Prevention first: Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical technology and equipment industry. **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Forum Website) ***************** As of June 2024, the 250 Nm³/h temperature-controlled methanation pilot plant operated by China Five Rings Engineering Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sinochem, successfully completed 1,000 hours of performance testing, with all process parameters operating stably. This represents the first successful pilot-scale application of temperature-controlled methanation technology in China. 　　The controlled-temperature methanization technology was developed by China Wuhuan starting in 2018; in 2022, a pilot plant was built in collaboration with partner organizations. This technology focuses on the research of new types of controlled-temperature methanization catalysts and efficient reactors for such processes. It features a short process flow, low energy consumption, and reduced investment costs, and can effectively improve the level of coal-based multi-product production as well as the added value of the products. It offers a new technical option for expanding and strengthening the coal chemical industry chain. It represents an important effort by China Wuhuan to explore new technologies in the context of the \"dual carbon\" goals. 　　Next, China Five Rings will continue to focus on research and development innovation, leverage its strengths in engineering, integrate catalyst innovation with process engineering, and develop a complete and mature methaneation process package capable of handling large-scale production volumes. It aims to achieve the first industrial application of catalysts and process technologies for controlled methaneation, thereby promoting the green transformation of the coal chemical industry and striving to become a world-class enterprise driven by technological innovation.
