Let’s give a thumbs up and encouragement to the achievements made in China’s chemical technology and equipment. Your participation in the discussion is the greatest motivation for us. ********************** [Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Equipment] This is a continuously updated summary thread; all are welcome to join the discussion: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Engineering Forum) ***************** On December 17, the pilot project on the production of jet fuel fractions via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, undertaken by the Research Institute of Chemical Industry on behalf of Lanzhou Energy, successfully completed its first test. All processes were carried out smoothly, resulting in the production of crude jet fuel, thus achieving the expected goals. At the beginning of this year, the **National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the \"Implementation Opinions on the Innovative Development of Pilot Testing in the manufacturing sector\" and the \"Action Plan to Strengthen the capabilities for pilot testing in manufacturing\", with the aim of accelerating the establishment of such platforms in order to improve the level of transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. The Chemical Research Institute thoroughly implemented the action plan, making full use of the favorable supporting facilities and professional management team available at its existing Changshou pilot plant. Focusing on the integration of the four key elements in the strategic emerging industries of state-owned enterprises, it took on the pilot project for the production of jet fuel fractions through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis carried out by Lanze Energy. This project falls within the realm of \"green and low-carbon\" technologies, and it is aligned with the strategic goals of \"reaching carbon peak and carbon neutrality.\" Its aim is to develop comprehensive engineering solutions for the production of jet fuel fractions on a scale of thousands of tons through the one-step Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. The project was registered in September 2023, construction began in March 2024, mechanical installation was completed in November, trial operation started in December, and the performance tests for the first phase were finished on December 17. Building on the completion and operation of the pilot production line for special-function units as well as the pilot line for Fischer-Tropsch synthesized aviation fuel fractions, the Chemical Research Institute will continue to draw on its experience in order to develop pilot platforms that feature professional service standards, distinctive operation models, and significant demonstration effects. It will further expand the scope of pilot research in the areas of polymer materials and \"green and low-carbon\" technologies, fully utilize the potential of these platforms, and actively contribute to the high-quality development of the chemical industry sector within the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Group.
