Are they picking up someone else’s used trash to poison China?

These two years have seen a peak in chemical industry construction, with numerous ammonia synthesis and fertilizer production projects being launched across the country. Some of these projects involve old manufacturing units that were brought back from abroad; such units, due to their outdated technology, high energy consumption, and severe pollution problems, had already been shut down abroad. Yet now, some domestic companies treat them as valuable assets and bring them back to China. For example, in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, there is a 2*300,000 tons per year ammonia synthesis plant and a 1.04 million tons per year urea production plant – all of the equipment for this project was imported from South Korea. These units were built and put into operation in South Korea in 1976, but by 2002 they were shut down there because of their outdated technology, high energy consumption, and serious pollution issues. Now, the Ordos Group has brought these units back to restart the production process, without obtaining approval from the relevant authorities. Isn’t this simply an act of using others’ discarded waste to pollute China? ?
The estimate is reliable; it is recommended that everyone pay attention to what’s around them, summarize the situations related to such devices, and also keep an eye on their production status! It’s really heartless to bring backward technologies to China! I wonder how many heartless people are involved in this!
Of course it’s reliable; our company is carrying out construction here for a synthetic ammonia plant with a capacity of 2*300,000 tons per year. The design was done by Chengda Engineering Company, and the drawings were modified based on the original ones. Working on such a shoddy project is really disgusting! ! ! !
Damn it, this guy is a traitor of the new era; calling them traitors is absolutely justified. This scumbag should be known to everyone in the country, so that they can all condemn him
Anything can happen in this world. I remember going to the Yinchuan Fertilizer Factory in 2001; there was a pile of scrap metal and old copper that had been imported at a cost of 20 million dollars. It’s said that those piles are still there to this day. To be precise, they have indeed turned into scrap metal and old copper! It’s understandable when you think about it – the developed coastal areas in China move facilities with severe pollution and outdated technology to the interior and the northwest; it’s all the same thing in essence. It’s because I’m poor, right? :L :L :L
It is undeniable that China has indeed been deceived many times when importing equipment from abroad. But driven by profit, businessmen can save a lot on investment by buying used equipment; they can get it up and running first and then upgrade it gradually. However, the current large-scale construction in the chemical industry is set to experience a downturn in 3 to 5 years.
Fortunately, **the approval process for importing used chemical equipment from abroad has been halted.** These second-hand devices are units that were forced to stop operating due to high consumption and severe pollution in their home countries. However, their manufacturing processes are still relatively advanced in China, and with minor technical modifications, they can remain competitive domestically. Buying used equipment can indeed save a lot on investment, but most of these devices have been in use for over 30 years, and the safety risks associated with them are quite concerning!
CNPC has experienced such difficulties before, and now it no longer imports used equipment. The Ordos project does exist, and the problems are not as serious as those in #1. Another reason why South Korea does not use these two sets of devices is the issue of raw materials, which is the main factor. In the first half of the year, Ordos approached CNPC, but CNPC ultimately gave up. Furthermore, energy consumption and pollution are long-standing issues; they represent a systematic problem.
I started working in design, and I wasn’t aware of such a thing existing; all I know is that ever since I began working in design, I’ve been engaged in ammonia synthesis design. It seems that ammonia synthesis is quite popular these days
I really don’t know what these leaders are thinking about this issue! Is it just to save money? ? ? ? I don’t think so! ! ! ! ! ! !
