The first unit of the purification system for Fuhua Tianchen’s large-scale coal gasification project was successfully installed. Author/Source: Coal Chemical Engineering 114 Forum Date: 10-21-2019 Clicks: 6 On October 16, the first unit of the purification system for Fuhua’s large-scale coal gasification project, constructed by the Chemical Machinery Factory affiliated with China National Chemical Engineering Corporation, was successfully installed. It marks the official commencement of the equipment installation work for the Fuhua large-scale gasification project. The equipment in question is a CO2 soda washing tower (522T010). It has a diameter of 3.8 meters and a height of 18.05 meters, with a net weight of 21.67 tons. Before the lifting operation, the project team communicated promptly with the owner and the supervisor, continuously optimizing the construction plan and making adjustments to it as needed, so as to ensure that the equipment could be lifted into place successfully. At 17:00 on October 15, the equatorial seam of Tank No. 1 for liquid ammonia in the Fuhua Gas Gasification Project was successfully closed. Since September, materials such as the columns and spherical shells of the two 5000m3 liquid ammonia spheres have been delivered to the site in batches, while construction preparation work such as project registration, material inspection, and scaffold erection has also been progressing as planned. After entering October, some of the main units of the project’s process equipment have been successfully delivered and installed; moving and stationary equipment has arrived one after another. The on-site construction of the two 10,000 m3 fire water tanks as well as the installation of the steel structure for the pipe galleries are being carried out in an orderly and intensive manner. The focus of the project’s work is gradually shifting to the installation phase. The large-scale coal gasification project of Fuhua Tianchen Gas Co., Ltd. has a total investment of 2.85 billion yuan. It will enable an annual production of 690,000 tons of ammonia, and water-coal slurry gasification technology will be used for this purpose. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2020. Once completed, it will supply basic chemical raw materials such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and liquid ammonia to various enterprises in the Jiangyin Chemical Park, including Fujian Southeast Electrochemical Co., Ltd. for its new TDI production facility, Fujian Cornell Polyurethane Co., Ltd. for its MDI project, and Fujian Tianchen Yaolong New Materials Co., Ltd. for its new CPL project. Fujian Fuhua Tianchen Gas Co., Ltd. is located in the Funeng (Jiangyin) Chemical Park within the Fujing Jiangyin Industrial Cluster in Fuzhou City. It was established as a joint venture among Fujian Petrochemical Group Company, China Tianchen Engineering Co., Ltd., and Fuzhou Yaolong Chemical Group Company, and is engaged in the investment, development, and construction of large-scale coal gasification projects. In addition to the large-scale gasification units, the construction project also includes a large-scale air separation unit that supplies gas products such as nitrogen, oxygen, compressed air, and instrument air to other projects in the park.
