On December 9, 2022, Furnace A in the gasification unit of this project, which is being carried out by the Guangdong branch of China National Chemical Engineering Corporation No. 13, was successfully ignited for the first time. The successful ignition of Gasification Unit A indicates that the gasification plant has entered the preparation phase for operation, while also laying a solid foundation for the proper supply of gas to the plant in the next steps. On December 10, the first large-scale equipment for the urea production unit of this project, the urea synthesis tower, was successfully lifted into place. The urea synthesis tower is the core equipment of the urea plant; it has a net weight of 234 tons, a diameter of 2.8 meters, and a height of 20.37 meters. The lifting method used this time was the single-crane delivery approach, with an 800-ton crawler crane serving as the main crane and a 450-ton crawler crane acting as the auxiliary crane. The technical transformation project for adjusting the raw material structure in order to move Mingshui Chemical Industry out of the city and into industrial parks utilizes three water-cooled wall Yindeqing gasification furnaces for water-coal slurry. Dongfang Boiler Manufacturing. Project Overview: The Nitrogen Fertilizer Production Project aimed at relocating production activities out of urban areas and into industrial parks, as well as carrying out adjustments to raw material usage, is carried out by Shandong Jinmei Mingshui Chemical Group Co., Ltd. within the chemical industry park in Di Town, Zhangqiu District, Jinan City. The total investment in this project amounts to 2,867.4 million yuan. It involves technological upgrades to the existing ammonia synthesis plants (including one production line with an output of 190,000 tons per year of ammonia alcohol and another line with an output of 250,000 tons per year of ammonia alcohol), as well as the urea production plants (including one production line with an output of 270,000 tons per year of large-grain urea and another line with an output of 400,000 tons per year of urea). The existing 1×130 t/h medium-temperature and medium-pressure circulating fluidized bed boiler will be upgraded to a high-temperature and high-pressure circulating fluidized bed boiler, while the existing 1×75 t/h medium-temperature and medium-pressure circulating fluidized bed boiler will be converted into a 1×180 t/h high-temperature and high-pressure circulating fluidized bed boiler. Upon completion of the project, the boiler setup for the entire plant will consist of 3×130t/h circulating fluidized bed boilers (2 in operation and 1 as backup) + 1×180t/h circulating fluidized bed boiler. At the same time, new units for raw water purification, gasification, air separation, shift reaction, methanol washing, liquid nitrogen washing, and sulfur recovery will be constructed ； Shandong Jinmei Mingshui Chemical Group Co., Ltd. was formerly known as Jinan Mingshui Fertilizer Factory, established in 1958. It was one of the first 13 demonstration plants for small-scale nitrogen fertilizer production built across the country. In April 2005, Jinan Mingshui Fertilizer Factory was restructured and renamed “Shandong Mingshui Chemical Co., Ltd.”” ； In June 2005, Shandong Mingshui Chemical Co., Ltd. entered into a strategic joint venture agreement with Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Coal Industry Group Co., Ltd., thereby forming a powerful partnership. In October 2009, the company’s name was changed to “Shandong Jinmei Mingshui Chemical Group Co., Ltd.” From 2010 to 2018, Minghua Group implemented the strategy of moving out of urban areas and into industrial parks; as a result, the Mingshui Fertilizer Factory located in Zhangqiu’s urban area, Zhangqiu Luming Chemical Co., Ltd., and Jinan Mingshui Thermal Power Co., Ltd. were all demolished. All of the group’s facilities are now concentrated at the Mingquan Fertilizer Factory within the Di Town Chemical Industrial Park in Jinan.
