On October 28th, the DCS control system as well as 8 cabinets for the pilot project aimed at producing α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch oil, which was undertaken by the Olefins Phase II Preparation Team under Energy Group’s Ningxia Coal Industry Company, were successfully powered on in one go, thanks to the joint efforts of the command center, Guoneng Zhi Shen Control Technology Co., Ltd., the supervision unit, and the construction team. This DCS control system is the first domestically developed, self-controllable DCS for coal chemical processing that was created by the command center in line with its strategy of transformation and development, through close cooperation with Guoneng Zhi Shen, a specialized company within Guoneng Group. With a domestic production rate of over 95%, it breaks the long-standing monopoly of foreign products in this field. It represents one of the important measures taken to respond to relevant calls and ensure energy security. Additionally, it is the first project under Guoneng Group’s 2021 scientific and technological innovation initiative titled “Research, Development, and Demonstration Application of Self-Controllable and Secure Chemical Process Control Systems” to be implemented within the group, saving the command center nearly 800,000 yuan in project construction costs. The successful startup of this DCS control system has created favorable conditions for the subsequent calibration of instruments and equipment in the project, and it has also laid a solid foundation for the project to be delivered on schedule. Project Overview: The development of key technologies for the production of α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch oil, along with pilot-scale demonstration projects, is a pilot project under the **Energy Group’s ‘2030 Major Projects’ initiative. Since the project commenced on August 4, the Preparation Office for the Phase II Olefin Project of the Coal-to-Oil Chemical Engineering Construction Command of **Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry Company has been actively advancing tasks such as project design, procurement, civil engineering work, pipeline installation, and so on. The project for the development of key technologies for the production of α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch oil products, along with related pilot-scale demonstrations (referred to as the “Olefin Crude Separation Pilot Project”), is a pilot project under **Energy Group’s “2030 Major Projects.” It builds upon the laboratory techniques developed for the separation of Fischer-Tropsch oil products as well as for acid and oxygen removal, and utilizes these to conduct pilot-scale tests. The project is located within the coal-to-oil facility of the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, covering an area of 700 square meters. The project uses oil-washed naphtha from coal-to-oil projects as raw material, with a feed rate of 1 t/h. Through acid and oxygen removal as well as distillation separation, C6 and C8 alkenes are ultimately obtained as products.
