Give praise and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Great Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available – feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Engineering Forum) ***************** The thousand-ton modular flexible ammonia synthesis plant developed by the Energy Research Institute was successfully put into operation on December 11, 2024. Recently, the first thousand-ton modular flexible ammonia synthesis plant of its kind in China, developed by the Energy Research Institute of Hefei Comprehensive **Science Center (hereinafter referred to as the “Energy Research Institute”), was successfully commissioned in Hefei, Anhui. As of the time of writing, the equipment has been operating steadily for hundreds of hours, with all the ammonia produced being sent to thermal power plants for use in ammonia-enhanced combustion. This milestone achievement represents a major breakthrough in ammonia synthesis technology, and it also provides an innovative solution for the field of green energy. The new generation of modular flexible ammonia synthesis equipment, which was successfully tested in this trial run, was developed for the field of green energy liquid fuels and is tailored for scenarios involving green electricity, green hydrogen, and green ammonia. Modular, standardized, and intelligent design enables rapid deployment at distributed project sites, significantly reducing the costs associated with construction and operation and maintenance ； At the same time, it boasts dynamically balanced production capabilities, allowing for large-scale direct integration with renewable energy sources. It can operate at lower loads, reducing the need for storing green hydrogen and thereby lowering construction costs. It is expected that in the future, modular and flexible ammonia synthesis equipment will find wide and extensive applications in various fields such as green fertilizers, ammonia combustion in thermal power generation, green hydrogen carriers, and zero-carbon fuels, thereby enabling the development of a high-end equipment manufacturing industry. The success of this driving operation not only brings innovative technical solutions to the ammonia synthesis industry, but also provides strong technical support for promoting the efficient use of green energy and achieving sustainable development that takes into account both economic benefits and environmental protection. With the growing global demand for clean energy, this technology is expected to be widely adopted worldwide, helping to establish a new type of energy system that is clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient. The Energy Research Institute is a provincial-level institution jointly established by Anhui Province and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It relies on a major science and technology innovation platform created through the joint efforts of four institutions: the Plasma Institute of Hefei Institute of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei University of Technology, and Anhui University of Science and Technology. Focus on developing efforts in four key areas: the clean and efficient use of existing fossil fuels (clean coal), the development of green renewable energy sources, the advancement of future ultimate energy sources (magnetic confinement fusion energy), and the storage, transmission, and distribution of secondary energy (smart power grids), in order to create a **strategic scientific and technological force** with significant influence and decision-making power.
