Progress on the IGCC Distributed Energy Carbon Neutrality Project and the Green Transformation and Upgrading Project for Ammonia Synthesis at Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. Author/Source: Gasification World Date: May 20, 2022 Clicks: 12 Recently, all the underground pipelines throughout the factory site of the IGCC distributed energy carbon neutrality project and the green transformation and upgrading project for ammonia synthesis at Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. were excavated； The main structure of the ammonia synthesis plant has been fully completed ； The gasification and coal grinding units are striving to meet the milestone target by the end of the month. The Hongyi Chemical IGCC and ammonia synthesis upgrading project utilizes water-coal slurry gasification, with the resulting syngas being used to produce 400,000 tons per year of ammonia. A new set of gas turbine IGCC power generation facilities will be built to complement Hubei Shuanghuan’s original SHELL gasification unit. Project Progress: On March 31, the central control room for the IGCC distributed energy carbon-neutralization application demonstration project and the green transformation and upgrading project of ammonia synthesis at Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully completed as scheduled. On September 14, 2021, the signing ceremony for the EPC general contract of the IGCC distributed energy carbon-neutralization application demonstration project and the green transformation and upgrading project for ammonia synthesis at Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. was held in Yingcheng. On November 5, 2021, Hubei Province held a ceremony to launch a number of major projects in the fourth quarter of that year; among them, an inauguration ceremony was held for the IGCC distributed energy application demonstration project and the green transformation and upgrading project of Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. Project Overview According to the information published by Hubei Xiaohuan Environmental Technology Company, the Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical IGCC distributed energy carbon neutrality application and green transformation upgrade project for ammonia synthesis – that is, the gas-powered generation (IGCC) and ammonia synthesis industry upgrading project – is an important initiative aimed at implementing the concept of green development, accelerating the development of a circular economy, and responding to the \"dual carbon\" policies ； The completion and operation of this project will have a significant impact on the development of the city’s circular economy as well as on environmental protection. The gas power generation (IGCC) and synthetic ammonia industry upgrading project utilizes a four-nozzle gasifier developed by East China University of Science and Technology, with the syngas produced being used to manufacture 400,000 tons per year of synthetic ammonia. The main production units include air separation, coal gasification, carbon monoxide conversion, acid gas removal, liquid nitrogen washing for gas purification, syngas compression, ammonia synthesis, refrigeration, sulfur recovery, and flare systems. A new set of gas turbine IGCC power generation facilities will be built to complement Hubei Shuanghuan’s original SHELL gasification unit. The auxiliary projects are carried out through the renovation and expansion of the existing facilities at the old factory. The design of the water-coal slurry gasification system features an effective gas volume of 102,080 m3/h (CO+H2), an operating flexibility range of 60%–110%, and a gasification pressure of 6.5 MPa. Yingcheng Hongyi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. was established by Hubei Shuanghuan Technology Co., Ltd. together with three capital contributors: Hubei Hongtai Huachuang Innovation Industry Investment Co., Ltd., Hubei Yihua Group Co., Ltd., and Hubei Gaocheng Fengfeng Entrepreneurship Investment Co., Ltd. It is responsible for implementing projects aimed at upgrading the gas-fired power generation (IGCC) and ammonia synthesis industries.
