Clicks: 37. From October 11th to 12th, the meeting for the investigation and evaluation of the first phase of the “Industrialization of Circulating Fluidized Bed Gasification Technology” project, which is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ key initiative for the transfer and application of scientific and technological achievements (Hongguang Initiative) and is carried out by the Circulating Fluidized Bed Laboratory at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, was held in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. The evaluation expert group consisted of 15 members in total, including representatives from the member units of the CAS Hongguang Special Project Joint Conference, renowned experts in the field of coal gasification, experts from local regulatory authorities, experts from industries that are typical users of such technologies, and financial experts. 　　This research and evaluation meeting lasted for two days; the evaluation team went to the site to conduct thorough investigations, listened carefully to the project presentations, and carried out the evaluation. On October 11, the evaluation expert team visited Jiangsu Delong Nickel Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Lianyuan Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., to investigate the ongoing 4×80,000 Nm-3/h (with a coal processing capacity of 700–1,000 t/d per furnace) circulating fluidized bed oxygen-enriched gasification project, as well as the already operational 5,000 Nm-3/h circulating fluidized bed gasification plant for producing industrial gas. Lu Qinggang, the project leader, Yu Kuangshi, general manager of Zhonghe Gasification Company, and Meng Guangjun, deputy general manager, provided detailed explanations on the project background, basic project details, operation status, and key processes, and answered the questions raised by the expert group carefully. On October 12, the evaluation entered the meeting phase. Chen Wenkai, deputy director of the Bureau for Science and Technology for Development at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained the purpose of establishing the Hongguang special project and the background behind its initiation, emphasizing the key aspects and requirements that should be taken into account during the project’s implementation and evaluation. 　　Lü Qinggang, the project leader and deputy director of the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, presented a detailed report on the progress of the project and the achievement of the phase objectives on behalf of the project team. He specifically outlined the accomplishments and results achieved by the team during the first phase, noting that the objectives set for that phase were met as scheduled ； The entire project is progressing smoothly; the industrial demonstration project in the field of synthetic ammonia for the second phase has already begun construction, and related research and development activities are underway in an orderly manner. The evaluation expert group, based on Lu Qinggang’s presentation and the findings from on-site investigations, posed thorough questions and inquiries regarding the project. They conducted in-depth discussions on aspects such as the project’s economic viability, application prospects, key technical challenges, and environmental policies, and provided constructive suggestions. The evaluation expert group unanimously agreed that the project was well implemented and achieved its phase objectives. 　　Chen Wenkai expressed approval of the project work and put forward several suggestions for its implementation. He urged the project team to continuously adapt to market and corporate needs in order to enhance their technical capabilities and competitiveness, to further strengthen resource integration as a way to boost promotion efforts and market influence, and to pay more attention to the integration of intellectual property rights as well as the dissemination of project achievements. 　　The implementation period of the Hongguang Special Project \"Industrialization of Circulating Fluidized Bed Gasification Technology\" was from September 2017 to June 2019. This project aimed to develop a clean, efficient, and low-cost circulating fluidized bed gasification technology suitable for low-grade coal, in order to create technologies and equipment for producing clean industrial gas and raw material gas for ammonia synthesis using inexpensive low-grade pulverized coal ； It aims to significantly reduce the costs of gasification and minimize pollution, providing low-cost and environmentally friendly system solutions to meet the demand for clean industrial gas and syngas in industries such as non-ferrous metal smelting, building materials, chemicals, and fertilizers. Through the implementation of this project, the industrial application of circulating fluidized bed gasification technology and equipment will be significantly promoted, resulting in practical technologies that can be produced on a large scale ； Leading the upgrading of gasification technologies and equipment, as well as the transformation in the fields of coal-based industrial gas and coal-based synthetic ammonia.
