Chengda General Contracting undertakes the relocation of Fuling Chemical’s 200,000-ton ammonia synthesis project. Author/Source: Refining & Chemical Industry Updates. Date: May 10, 2021. Clicks: 26. According to reports, starting from the demolition of the old plant’s ammonia synthesis tower on April 15, 2021, and over a period of 20 days until May 4, the ammonia synthesis project team at Fuling Chemical managed to lift and transport nearly 1,500 tons of equipment, including the old plant’s synthesis tower, absorption tower, regeneration tower, second-stage furnace, heat-exchange components within the furnace, high and low voltage transformers, heat exchangers for inlet and outlet streams, two iron-manganese desulfurization tanks, zinc oxide desulfurization tank, flash tank, and stripping tower. The demolition and lifting of the large-scale equipment have been completed, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent installation work. Fuling Chemical’s 200,000 tons per year ammonia synthesis plant was constructed in its original location, with Chengda Company undertaking the EPC general contracting. The equipment removed from the old factory will be sent to the new Baitao factory for use. At present, the absorption towers, two-stage furnaces, ammonia synthesis towers, and high/low voltage transformers transported by waterway have been loaded onto vehicles and are parked on site, ready for dispatch. Transport to the dock began on May 7, from where it was loaded onto ships and sent to the ammonia synthesis project site at the Baitao new plant. Images: Work on other sub-projects has also begun one after another. On November 15, 2020, the groundbreaking ceremony for the sulfuric acid project was held. On December 20, the wet phosphoric acid plant held its commissioning ceremony. On the morning of January 12, 2021, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the 1.2 million tons per year mineral processing plant and its supporting facilities. The Sinochem Fuling Environmental Protection Relocation Project is located in Group 1, Shaolou Village, Baitao Chemical Industry Park, Fuling, Chongqing. The first phase is a project for 200,000 tons per year of fine phosphates and associated new specialty fertilizers. Construction of a 800,000-ton/year sulfur-based sulfuric acid plant, a 1.2 million-ton/year mineral processing plant, a 300,000-ton/year wet-process phosphoric acid plant (100% P2O5), a 100,000-ton/year phosphoric acid purification plant, a 50,000-ton/year potassium dihydrogen phosphate plant, a 50,000-ton/year high-grade flame-retardant fire-fighting material plant, a 100,000-ton/year medium-grade flame-retardant fire-fighting material plant, 2×200,000-ton/year specialized fertilizers, a 300,000-ton/year multi-element acidic specialty fertilizer plant, a 200,000-ton/year synthetic ammonia plant (to be relocated and rebuilt in its original location), a 25,000-ton/year sodium fluosilicate plant, a 600,000-ton/year cement retarder plant, a 300,000-ton/year building gypsum powder plant, as well as temporary storage facilities for phosphogypsum, along with accompanying utility systems and auxiliary facilities. The first phase of Sinochem Fuling Chemical’s environmental protection relocation project requires an investment of 3 billion yuan, with completion and operation scheduled for the end of 2021.
