Sales of liquid products from Zhong’an United’s air separation units reached a record high. Author/Source: Zhong’an United. Date: 2021-06-17. Clicks: 4. In 2020, Zhong’an United’s air separation units continued to operate at a high level of productivity, with sales of liquid products exceeding 130 million yuan, thus making a significant contribution to the achievement of the company’s annual goals. Since the beginning of this year, the air separation unit has continued to operate in good condition, as it did last year. The market sales of cryogenic liquid products such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon have been robust. In particular, the economic benefits derived from liquid products like liquid oxygen and liquid argon have reached new highs compared to the same period last year. From January to May this year, nearly 78,000 tons of liquid products were sold in total, generating sales revenue of 79.14 million yuan. In May, the total volume of cryogenic liquid products shipped amounted to over 16,510 tons, with monthly sales revenue exceeding 20 million yuan; both the product sales revenue and the total volume of shipments reached new monthly highs. Facing the fleeting market conditions, the Coal Gasification Department seized the opportunity to proactively coordinate with the company’s sales and production planning departments regarding the production and supply of cryogenic liquid products through its air separation unit. On the one hand, this device seeks breakthroughs in reducing costs and expenses to lay the foundation for optimal operation. Through technical efforts by Party members, the average minimum valve setting for the high-pressure oxygen vent valve was reduced to below 1%, enabling the achievement of a low oxygen leakage rate for the first time. **This improved the utilization rate of oxygen in the products, marking another crucial step forward in moving the air separation unit from long-term stable operation to higher-quality operation. It is expected that this will result in savings of 7 million yuan in steam consumption costs and an increase in production output worth 5 million yuan. On the other hand, efforts are being made to improve quality and efficiency, laying the foundation for high-yield operations. By optimizing production operations and strengthening process management, we ensure the production of top-quality products. At the same time, guided by market demand, while ensuring the plant’s overall consumption of oxygen and nitrogen, we optimize and adjust the production ratio of cryogenic liquid products such as liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. We continue to increase the output of marketable products, particularly liquid oxygen products that command higher market prices and offer good economic benefits. Take multiple measures to achieve efficiency.
