The Lutianhua GreenSource Alcohol air separation unit and methanol plant were successfully commissioned. Author/Source: Lutianhua Date: 2022-03-09 Clicks: 7 On March 3, the GreenSource Alcohol air separation unit and methanol plant were successfully put into operation. Spring has arrived, and the weather is gradually warming up. On February 26, Lutianhua Co., Ltd. received notice from CNPC that gas supply had been restored, allowing the Lvyuan Alcohol Methanol plant to resume operations. As the orange warning for severe air pollution was in effect in Naxi District, the company’s management promptly instructed the Safety Supervision Department to submit an application to the district’s Ecology and Environment Bureau regarding the resumption of production. The Production Management Department quickly prepared and issued a comprehensive schedule for starting up operations, issued orders for the commencement of production, and informed departments such as the Equipment Department, Security Department, and Materials Supply Company about the need to get production underway. Upon receiving the notice, everyone became motivated and full of energy, committed to providing excellent service and guidance, and striving with all their might. At the same time, we cherish every opportunity to drive, strengthen emergency response measures during driving, continuously raise awareness of costs and energy conservation, and strive to reduce consumption related to driving. On February 27, the Production Management Department and the Safety Supervision Department took the lead in verifying the conditions necessary for resuming operations of the plant, as well as the conditions required for starting up the equipment. Special inspections were carried out regarding technical improvements, changes, interlocks, and related training programs. Process supervisors and dispatch personnel were on duty 24/7 to ensure that the workshops followed the detailed energy-saving operating procedures. During the startup process, hydrogen was recycled to reduce consumption, process control was strengthened, and real-time monitoring was maintained; data on the site conditions and the surrounding environment was reported regularly to prevent environmental pollution and complaints from local residents. At 14:25 on March 2, with the oxygen and nitrogen produced by air separation meeting the required standards, and the successful introduction of gas into the methanol synthesis tower at 2:50 the following day, it was confirmed that the plant had been successfully started up for operation.
