The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone should talk about safety and know how to handle emergencies; risks and hazards need to be identified and addressed. -------------------------------------------------- On June 9, local media in Shandong reported that the main structure of the air island project for comprehensive energy utilization in the Feicheng Chemical Industry Park has been completed, with the construction progress moving forward at full speed. The total investment in this project is 100 million yuan. It involves the planning and construction of an air separation unit with a daily production capacity of 300 tons of liquid, along with its supporting facilities. Wang Hongjun, project manager of the energy comprehensive utilization air island at Feicheng Chemical Industry Park, said, “At present, the civil engineering work for the supporting factories and office buildings in our project has been largely completed. The storage tanks for liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen have been installed, and the installation of air separation equipment is underway. 60% of the total work has been finished, and trial production is expected to begin in September.” ”The project utilizes the high-pressure and high-temperature steam generated during the production process at Shandong As Technology Co., Ltd. within the park to power the air separation unit; the remaining low-pressure steam is used for heating purposes in the park, thus creating a closed-loop system of \"steam drive – waste heat recovery – thermal energy reuse\". The project utilizes domestically advanced back-pressure steam-driven air separation equipment, combined with internationally leading molecular sieve adsorption purification and cryogenic distillation technologies, to achieve precise separation of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon from air. The resulting industrial gases—liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon—are used for production within the park and for sale in the surrounding areas. Compared to conventional electrically driven air separation systems, this model reduces overall energy consumption by over 30%, reaching the industry’s benchmark level for energy efficiency. It also increases overall energy utilization by 25%–35% and cuts carbon emissions by 320,000 tons per year.
