Another major milestone has been reached in the construction of the 200,000-ton synthetic ammonia plant at Sinochem Fuling Chemical. Author/Source: Gasification World. Date: August 16, 2021. Clicks: 61. The roof-closing ceremony for the compressed-air plant part of Sinochem Fuling Chemical’s environmental relocation project was successfully completed at 8:50 a.m. on August 12. The compression plant is one of the key main structures in an ammonia synthesis project. It is 89m long, 21m wide, and 20m high, and houses primarily natural gas compressors, oxygen-enriched air compressors, three large reciprocating ammonia compressors, as well as the corresponding auxiliary equipment. Next, the ammonia synthesis project team will reverse-engineer the schedule and work in a structured manner, striving to accelerate the construction of the equipment foundations and the metal roofing on the plant buildings while ensuring safety and quality, thereby laying a solid foundation for the subsequent installation of the three compression unit systems. Project Overview: 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 fertilizer plants, a 300,000-ton/year multi-element acidic physiological 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 and related 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.
