Lifting of the gasifier in Jiangsu Sopco Chemical’s project / Author/Source: Huahua Net Coal Chemicals / Date: 2021-12-24 / Clicks: 6. On December 18, Shiyi Huajian successfully completed the lifting of the gasifier as part of the energy-saving and emission-reduction technology upgrade project for the acetic acid production process at Jiangsu Sopco Chemical Co., Ltd. The project utilizes the gasification technology developed by East China University of Science and Technology and Yankuang Group. At 8:38 a.m., the project team began hoisting the first piece of major equipment for the project – the gasifier, which is the core component of the gasification frame – thus marking the start of the heavy equipment installation process. The construction site for the energy-saving and emission-reduction technology renovation project of the acetic acid gas generation process at Jiangsu Suopu Chemical Co., Ltd. is located at No. 50, Yuehe Street, Jianbi Town, Jingkou District, Zhenjiang City. The total investment amount is 1,275,310,000 yuan. This project uses organic hazardous waste, lump coal, and petroleum coke as raw materials to produce CO, thereby replacing the outdated coke gas generation process. In other words, the existing coke gas generation units and 4 air separation units will be phased out, while 2 sets of imported equipment such as high-pressure coal slurry pumps will be introduced. Additionally, 431 sets of domestic equipment including combined compressors, hydrogen-rich gas compressors, and methanol synthesis towers will be purchased. A set of organic synthesis slurry preparation unit, a gasification unit, a CO refining complex unit, and an air separation unit will also be built. Meanwhile, auxiliary facilities such as a circulating water station and hazardous waste storage areas will also be constructed. The project will install a new set of organic synthesis slurry preparation equipment, a gasification unit, a CO refining complex, and a air separation unit with a capacity of 20,000 Nm3/h. Four air separation units used in the coke gas production process will be phased out (one with a capacity of 12,000 Nm3/h, one with a capacity of 6,000 Nm3/h, and two with a capacity of 1,000 Nm3/h each), as well as 11 coke gas production units. Upon completion of the project, it will have an annual production capacity of 3.2 billion standard cubic meters of CO, 33,360 tons of liquid oxygen, 33,360 tons of liquid nitrogen, 8,000 tons of liquid argon, and 152,300 tons of crude methanol (used solely as an intermediate product); the production capacity for acetic acid remains unchanged.
