World’s largest coal-fed slurry gasifier shipped from Harbin / Author/Source: Huahua Net Coal Chemicals Date: 30-03-2019 Clicks: 50. A few days ago, the third high-level meeting regarding the equipment for the Shenhua Yulin Circular Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilization CTC-1 project, as well as a ceremony to mark the shipment of the first gasifier, were held at Harbin Boiler Group Co., Ltd. This gasifier is currently the world’s largest coal-fed slurry gasifier. It is understood that the Shenhua Yulin project includes 5 coal-water slurry gasification units and 2 domestically produced David methanol synthesis towers; the gasification units are capable of processing 3,000 tons of coal per day, making them the coal-water slurry gasification units with the highest coal processing capacity in the world at present. The methanol synthesis tower for this project utilizes the David technology and was designed and manufactured by Harbin Electric Boilers, breaking the foreign monopoly on the design and manufacturing of such equipment and achieving localization. Currently, the methanol synthesis tower has entered the critical pipe-penetration manufacturing stage. Yan Guochun, General Manager of China Shenhua Coal-to-Oil Chemical Co., Ltd.; Wan Guojie, Director of Engineering Management and Assistant to the General Manager; Zhang Zhaocong, Head of the CET-1 Project Department; Bian Ming, Deputy General Manager of China Tianchen Engineering Co., Ltd.; Huang Shoulin, Equipment Manager at Shenhua Engineering Technology Co., Ltd.; Zhang Yong, Deputy General Manager of GE Shenhua Company; and Zhao Qingwan, General Manager of Nanjing Sifang Supervision Company, attended the product delivery witness ceremony ； Wang Dexing, the chief economist of Harbin Electric Group, Fan Xianfeng, the Party secretary and chairman of Harbin Electric Boilers, Liu Limin, the deputy general manager, along with relevant staff members, attended the ceremony to witness this historic moment together. Following the ceremony, the two parties held the third high-level meeting on the CTC-1 project for the comprehensive utilization of coal in the circular economy in Yulin, Shenhua, to discuss the gasifier and methanol synthesis tower equipment, with the aim of ensuring that subsequent projects are completed successfully as planned. The gasification project of Shenhua Yulin Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. employs GE’s high-cooling efficient water-coal slurry gasification technology. The project involves 5 gasifiers in a single series, each capable of handling 3,100 tons per day of dry-based water-coal slurry; the pressure level is 6.5 MPa. These gasifiers are equipped to produce 1.8 million tons of methanol per year (for olefin production), 400,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year, as well as other high-value downstream products. The project was undertaken under EPC contract by Tianchen Engineering Company. It is reported that for the Shenhua Yulin project’s 5 gasification units, the customers have requested that one unit be produced in March, two units in April, and two units in May; thus, the production schedule is extremely tight. Harbin Electric Boiler attaches great importance to this matter. At the beginning of the year, Fan Xianfeng, the Party secretary and chairman of the company, convened a meeting with relevant departments to discuss the Shenhua Yulin project, emphasizing the need to fulfill all tasks with full effort and meet the contractual deadlines ； Vice General Manager Liu Limin organized a mobilization meeting for the project’s resolution. All units responded promptly and took swift action, formulating a series of effective measures based on the project specifics, which ensured the successful shipment of the project’s first gasification furnace. The first-phase project of Shenhua Yulin Circular Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilization Project (SYCTC-1 Project) has a total investment of 13.6 billion yuan. The project is located in the northern area of the Qingshui Coal Chemical Industry Park within the Yushen Industrial Zone. Using coal as raw material, it produces 1.8 million tons of methanol and 400,000 tons of ethylene glycol per year. It consists of various process units such as air separation units, coal gasification units, CO conversion units, plant-wide system facilities, sulfur recovery units, methanol synthesis units, and ethylene glycol production units, along with supporting utility systems and auxiliary facilities. This project is integrated with the existing downstream processing facilities for methanol developed by Shenhua in Shaanxi, with the utility systems and auxiliary facilities of both projects being closely interconnected. The Shenhua Yulin Circular Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilization Project (CTC Project) was approved for implementation by the **National Development and Reform Commission in March 2015. It is the largest coal chemical project in the world to date, with a planned total investment of 120 billion yuan. The first-phase project of the Shenhua Yulin Circular Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilization Project is a preliminary phase of this project (the CTC project). It also serves as a facility for producing methanol raw materials to support the already completed Shenhua Shaanxi Methanol Downstream Processing Project (SSMTO). The project is scheduled to begin operations in 2020. http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20190330/1532475596792.jpg http://img.yf116.cn/image/img/20190330/1533185599866.jpg
