Harbin Boiler won the contract for the gasification furnace equipment for the second phase of Inner Mongolia HuiNeng’s coal-to-gas project. Author/Source: Date: 12-11-2018; Clicks: 23. Recently, Harbin Boiler Factory Co., Ltd., part of Harbin Electric Group, received good news in the petrochemical industry as it successfully secured a contract to supply 3 four-nozzle gasification furnaces and 3 lockhopper units for the gasification section of the second phase of Inner Mongolia HuiNeng Coal Chemical Co., Ltd.’s coal-to-natural gas project. The gasifier in this project can process 3,300 tons of coal per day per unit, making it the water-coal slurry gasifier with the highest daily coal handling capacity per unit in the world at present. “The gasification unit of the second phase of the HuiNeng coal-to-gas project uses an ultra-large four-nozzle gasifier with a diameter of 4 meters and a pressure of 6.5 MPa, and the weight of each such unit is 409 tons. This furnace type is the first to enter the coal-to-natural gas sector, and it is also the first four-nozzle gasification furnace in China to have its inner wall cladded with nickel-based alloys. “\"Coal-to-natural gas\" refers to the production of synthetic natural gas by using mined coal through a gasification process. There are few industrial-scale coal-to-natural gas plants in operation worldwide, while China has the largest planned production capacity for coal-to-natural gas among all countries. “The production process of \"coal-to-natural gas\" involves converting raw coal into natural gas (SNG) through gasification, shift reaction, removal of acidic gases, and methanation. This represents another breakthrough for Harbin Electric Boilers this year, following the acquisition of the equipment for 5 gasifiers in Phase 1 of the CTC project at Shenhua Yulin Energy Chemical Co., Ltd., each with a daily coal processing capacity of 3,000 tons. The signing of this project underscores the strong competitive strength of Harbin-produced boiler products, laying a solid foundation for their further market development.
