Safety first. Prevention first – let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Ongoing updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Engineering Forum) ***************** On November 27, 2024, the Technology Department of the group company conducted an inspection of Nanhua Company’s project related to the construction of a pilot-scale facility for carbon dioxide capture on a scale of thousands of tons, as well as its optimized operation. After discussion by the expert panel, it was unanimously agreed that the project met all the requirements and passed the inspection. In February 2022, this project was launched with the aim of using the newly built facilities of Nanhua Company to test the process route for the 1 million tons per year flue gas carbon capture project at the Shengli Oilfield power plant, as well as to comprehensively optimize existing carbon dioxide capture technologies. This set of equipment is a flexible pilot-scale testing platform for carbon dioxide capture, designed and built by the R&D institute of Nanhua Company, which optimizes the carbon dioxide capture process from flue gas at low partial pressures through three approaches: solvents, processes, and equipment. By using the MA-3 composite amine solution independently developed by the South China Research Institute of Chemistry, the energy consumption for regeneration can be reduced to as low as 2.0 GJ per ton of carbon dioxide. Based on the test results from the thousand-ton-class carbon dioxide demonstration facility, Nanhua Company has also developed a design package for carbon dioxide capture from coal-fired power plant flue gas at a rate of 1 million tons per year; 5 invention patents have been applied for regarding the key technologies involved. In the future, Nanhua Company will continue to develop more advanced carbon dioxide capture solvents, and work on building facilities for the production of such solvents, thereby providing key technical support for the further development of carbon capture technology.
