Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment; your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Continuous updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html ***************** On September 1, 2025, with the commissioning of Lanzhou Petrochemical Company’s 8,000-ton/year carbon pentene hydrogenation petroleum resin production facility, it marked the successful deployment of the first industrial control system in the petrochemical industry that features 100% domestically developed software and hardware in a complex petrochemical plant. “The control is precise, the equipment operates correctly, and feedback is timely; the entire control system functions as expected. ”Xin, the on-site technical supervisor and a member of the digital transformation R&D team at the research institute (Science and Technology Innovation Center), explained that \"this system is entirely domestically produced, ranging from core chips such as CPUs and FPGAs to storage chips and resistors/capacitors, as well as operating systems, application software, databases, and network equipment.\" ” At present, although domestic DCS brands are being increasingly used in the petrochemical industry, key chips and core components such as controllers and data processors still rely heavily on imports, leaving China’s industrial control sector facing challenges such as shortages of these chips. The successful operation of this system marked a breakthrough of zero for domestically produced DCS systems in complex petrochemical plants, significantly advancing the process of upgrading industrial control systems in the petrochemical industry. In the future, this fully domestic control system will further mature through long-term use, and then be applied to other refining and chemical processing units, providing a replicable \"Lanzhou Petrochemical Solution\" for the stable deployment of fully domestic control systems in large-scale refining and chemical processing facilities.
