Commissioning of the process package for the coal tar hydrogenation unit at Shaanxi Longcheng
Thread Content
On December 13, 2016, Henan Longcheng Group, Danish Topsoe Company, and Sinopec Luoyang Engineering Co., Ltd. jointly held a kick-off meeting for the \"Process Package for the 1.3 million tons per year coal tar hydrogenation unit of the Shaanxi Longcheng 15 million tons per year integrated project for clean and efficient utilization of coal ash,\" marking the transition of this new project from the preliminary preparation stage to the design phase. The project is located in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province, and its construction includes coal dry distillation, tar hydrogenation processes, gas purification, and liquefied natural gas facilities.
LPEC is really great; other companies don’t have many projects, but they have plenty
LPEC still has strong capabilities
It seems that Luoyang Institute has not built any coal tar hydrogenation plants. At present, the largest coal tar hydrogenation capacity in China is 500,000 tons per year; is it feasible to go straight to a capacity of 1.3 million tons per year? Is it a fixed-bed, suspended-bed, or fluidized-bed?
Topso’s technology? 1.3 million tons per year, what type of reactor is used?
That statement is incorrect. As far as I know, some of the first people to work on coal tar hydrogenation, such as He Jutang, came from the Luoyang Research Institute. In the oil refining and petrochemical industry, Luoyang Institute was the first to develop in this field, and its capabilities are on par with those of SEI and Huanqiu. It’s just that, being located in Luoyang, an ancient capital that has declined over the centuries, the city has no prospects for development, which in turn limits the design institutes as well.
