Successful first feeding of the gasification unit in Jinhua Furnace’s soda ash project. Author/Source: Jinhua Furnace. Date: December 10, 2021. Clicks: 22. At 15:16 on December 10, 2021, the gasification unit of Jinhua Furnace in Henan Jindadi’s fourth-phase soda ash and associated ammonia synthesis project was successfully fed for the first time. Henan Jindadi’s 600,000-ton/year soda ash project is accompanied by a 600,000-ton/year ammonia synthesis facility; it still utilizes the Jinhua Furnace 3.0 gasification technology. Two additional Jinhua Furnaces have been installed, with one in operation and the other as a backup. After commissioning, together with the three Jinhua Furnace 3.0 units installed in the third phase of the project, it forms a gasification island with four units in operation and one as backup. The pressure and gas flow rate of the newly added Jinhua furnace are set to be the same as those of the first three gasification furnaces; the gasification pressure remains at 6.5 MPa, with a gas flow rate of 80,000 m3/h (CO+H2) per furnace. Jinhua Furnace 3.0 is the first in the world to combine \"water-coal slurry + membrane wall + radiant steam generator,\" and it has been successfully industrialized. It provides a solution for the comprehensive utilization of \"high-carbon, high-sulfur, and high-ash coal\" across the country as well as for the localized production of coal gas; its overall technology is at the international leading level. Project Review: On the afternoon of June 17, 2021, at Henan Jindi, the Jinhua Furnace 3.0, a key unit of the company’s 600,000 tons per year soda ash production project, was successfully lifted into place. The 600,000 tons per year synthetic ammonia relocation and renovation project in Henan Jindadi uses three Jinhua Furnace 3.0 units, with two in operation and one as a backup; the coal consumption per unit is 1,500 tons per day, and the project came online in February 2019. Since full-scale production began on May 8, 2019, Nissan’s synthetic ammonia output has remained above 1,800 tons. The maximum daily output was 1,912.8 tons, reaching 106.3% of the designed capacity.
