All four gasifiers in Hualu Hengsheng’s coal chemical project, with a total investment of 46 billion yuan, have been installed! Successful lifting of core equipment for urea plant Author/Source: Gasification World Date: 2022-12-05 Clicks: 38 The comprehensive utilization project of syngas at Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) saw the first gasifier being lifted into place on November 11, 2022. By the end of November, all four gasification furnaces were in place. The hoisting of three high-pressure nitrogen storage tanks and equipment such as long-span coal conveyor bridges has also been completed. The gas power platform project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. includes a total of 4 multi-nozzle water-coal slurry gasifiers (3 in operation and 1 as backup). A single gasification furnace has a net weight of 415 tons, a diameter of 4.24 meters, and a height of 27.45 meters. The highest point of the lifting operation is 107 meters, spanning a 57-meter-high concrete frame to place it on a concrete foundation at an elevation of 33 meters. Recently, two large-scale equipment units of the urea production unit in Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Project were successfully hoisted into place. The two large-scale equipment units are the urea synthesis tower and the CO2 stripping tower. The urea synthesis tower has a diameter of 3.3 meters, a height of 23.62 meters, and a net weight of 372.8 tons; it is one of the core equipment units in the urea production facility. The lifting lugs of the urea synthesis tower equipment are positioned at a 45-degree angle downward, requiring the equipment to be unloaded, lifted, and then turned over, which increases the difficulty of lifting it. The CO2 stripping tower has a diameter of 3.22 meters, a height of 15.586 meters, and a net weight of 278.85. The CO2 stripper is located within a framework. To avoid having to make multiple adjustments to the operating conditions, a professional company conducted repeated calculations and on-site measurements. On the premise of ensuring safety, it continued to use the same operating conditions utilized during the lifting of the urea synthesis tower. Even when the main boom of the crane was less than 3 centimeters away from the concrete frame beams, the lifting operation of the CO2 stripper was successfully completed. The gas power platform project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. includes a total of 4 multi-nozzle water-coal slurry gasifiers (3 in operation and 1 as backup). Previously, Hualu Hengsheng announced that its holding subsidiary, Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd., plans to invest in and construct a gas power platform project and a syngas comprehensive utilization project within the Hubei Jiangling Economic Development Zone (Coal, Power, Port, and Chemical Industry Park). The investment in the park’s gas power platform project amounts to 5.924 billion yuan, while the investment in the comprehensive utilization of syngas projects is 5.604 billion yuan. Among them, the park’s gas power platform project uses coal as raw material and employs internationally advanced multi-nozzle water-coal slurry gasification technology with independent intellectual property rights. It involves the construction of 4 coal gasifiers along with supporting equipment (3 in operation and 1 as backup), as well as 2 air separation units, 3 high-temperature and high-pressure coal powder boilers, and various utility facilities, all designed to meet the requirements for larger scale and higher reliability of the installations. The total estimated investment for the project is 5.924 billion yuan, with the construction funds to be covered by Jingzhou Company’s own funds and bank loans ； The construction period is expected to be 36 months. The Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Project and the Park Gas Power Platform Project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. are planned to require an investment of 46 billion yuan to build a modern coal chemical complex in Jingzhou. The construction will take place in three phases: Phase 1 is expected to cost 11.5 billion yuan and cover an area of over 2,400 mu. It comprises two sub-projects – the Park Gas Power Platform and the Syngas Comprehensive Utilization Platform. Utilizing advanced technologies for the efficient and clean use of coal, this phase aims to produce millions of tons per year of acetic acid, 700,000 tons of urea, 300,000 tons of molten urea, 100,000 tons of melamine resin, 150,000 tons of DMF, 13,600 tons of sulfur, and 150,000 tons of mixed methylene amine ； Phase II and Phase III projects will build on the foundation of Phase I to produce high-end chemical materials, fine chemicals, and hydrogen energy products. Construction on this project officially began on November 5, 2021. Project Overview: The Gas Power Platform Project at the Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. campus is located to the east of the Menghua Railway, to the west of Dianli Road; to the west lies the new building materials industry zone and Hubei Huadian Jiangling Power Plant, while to the south is the coal storage and distribution base. Using coal as raw material, the project employs advanced production processes such as the multi-nozzle water-coal slurry pressurized gasification process and low-temperature cryogenic separation process to produce syngas, high-pressure nitrogen, and steam. It covers an area of 97.04 hectares (approximately 1,455 mu), with a total investment of 5.92431 billion yuan. The syngas comprehensive utilization project of Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. uses the crude syngas produced by the park’s gas power platform project as raw material to manufacture downstream products. There are two main product lines: one involves the production of synthetic ammonia using crude syngas as a raw material, and the other involves the production of urea using liquid ammonia and CO2 as raw materials ； The second is to produce acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using crude syngas as raw material ； Byproduct methylamine, trimethylamine, sulfur, and food-grade CO2 are produced simultaneously. Covering an area of 62 hectares (approximately 930 mu), the total investment in this project is 5.60379 billion yuan. The park’s gas power platform project and the syngas comprehensive utilization project are interrelated projects, adopting a construction approach that involves simultaneous design, construction, and commissioning. It is reported that on October 31, 2020, Shandong Hualu Hengsheng Chemical Co., Ltd. signed the \"Project Investment Agreement for Hualu Hengsheng Jingzhou Modern Coal Chemical Industry Base\" with the People’s Government of Jingzhou City and the People’s Government of Jiangling County in Hubei Province. On November 19, 2020, Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. was registered and established. It is a subsidiary of Hualu Hengsheng Holdings; Hualu Hengsheng holds 70% of the shares, while its related parties, Hualu Group Co., Ltd. and Hualu Investment Development Co., Ltd., hold 20% and 10% of the shares respectively. With Jingzhou Company as the investment entity, Hualu Hengsheng plans to invest in the construction of a gas power platform project and a comprehensive utilization project for syngas in the Hubei Jiangling Economic Development Zone (Coal, Electricity, Port, and Chemicals Industrial Park). As of May 25, 2021, the environmental impact assessment reports for the gas power platform project and the comprehensive utilization project of syngas at Hualu Hengsheng (Jingzhou) Co., Ltd. were made public prior to approval
