Author/Source: Refining & Chemical Industry Updates Date: 2020-03-23 Clicks: 60 On March 15, the inauguration ceremony for the clean and energy-efficient upgrade project for gasification at Hebei Tianyuan Chemical was held at the site of that facility. Wang Ping, director of the Management Committee of the Sculpture Cultural Industry Park; Qi Shixin, secretary of the Party Committee and Wang Baolong, director of the Development and Reform Bureau of Quyang County; Chen Yulong, director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and other department heads; Gu Fayi, chairman of Hebei Tianyuan Chemical Group, as well as representatives from various construction companies; Bai Yong, executive vice president of Anhui Keda Clean Energy Co., Ltd., and members of the project team attended this groundbreaking ceremony. At 10 a.m., the opening ceremony officially began, with Gu Fayi, chairman of Hebei Tianyuan Chemical Group, delivering a speech. Subsequently, Bai Yong, the executive vice general manager of Anhui Keda Clean Energy, delivered a speech. Mr. Bai first expressed his gratitude to all parties involved in the project for their strong support, and then gave a brief introduction to the project overview as well as the features of Keda’s furnaces. Finally, he assured the project owner that during the construction of this project, our company would focus on epidemic prevention and control while also organizing work carefully and carrying out construction in a scientific manner to ensure the successful completion of the project. At the end of the ceremony, Wang Ping, the director of the park management committee, announced the official commencement of the project. This project is located within the Tianyuan Chemical Industry Zone of the Quyang County Circular Economy Industrial Park. It includes two sets of 45 kNm3/h circulating fluidized bed gasification systems and one set of 20 kNm3/h low-pressure fluidized bed gasification systems, which are used to supply raw gas to the ammonia synthesis plant at Tianyuan Chemical. By combining two gasification technologies, this project can **improve the overall efficiency of coal utilization; while ensuring cleanliness and high efficiency, it also significantly reduces the production costs of the feed gas, thereby supporting the business development of the enterprise. On July 15, 2019, Anhui Keda Clean Energy Co., Ltd. signed a contract for the upgrading of coal-to-gas production facilities with Hebei Tianyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. The successful signing of this contract marked the first time that Keda Company’s clean coal-to-gas technology, which is protected by independent intellectual property rights (the Keda furnace), would be applied in the ammonia synthesis industry. It also provided a new set of technologies and processes for the upgrading of small and medium-sized ammonia synthesis plants. The total investment in the project is 234.8 million yuan. The installation includes: a raw coal crushing and conveying system, a fluidized-bed gasification system for pulverized coal, a fluidized-bed gasification system for pulverized coal, a pneumatic conveying system, a water treatment system, an air separation system, and DCS/SIS control systems, among others. Tianyuan Chemical currently has 1 set of ammonia synthesis towers with a diameter of Φ1200 along with the corresponding ammonia production facilities, 1 set of ammonia synthesis towers with a diameter of Φ1600 and the associated production equipment, as well as 1 set of urea production facility with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons. The ammonia production facilities in the plant have an annual capacity of 250,000 tons. The company’s main products include 300,000 tons of urea per year and 77,800 tons of crude methanol per year.
