Where did you get this information? Do you know what the product is after syngas is produced?
Please ask those who are aware of the situation to talk about the specifics
The XinAo gasification unit was successfully started up on the evening of June 20.
Which gasification technology is being used?
Congratulations on the successful commissioning of the 600,000-ton methanol project in Xinaodalat Banner! This project has many friends, and I hope its successful progress will bring good luck to each of them!
Were both furnaces brought online, or was only one brought online?
The Ordos 600,000-ton methanol project has a total investment of 2.4 billion yuan. It includes 3 boilers with a design pressure of 9.8 MPa and a capacity of 168 tons each, as well as 2 air separation units with a capacity of 45,000 cubic meters per hour. The project utilizes Texaco’s water-coal slurry pressurized gasification technology, with 2 gasifiers in operation and 1 as a backup. The project started on June 8, 2006, and was completed by the end of 2008 (the construction and commissioning periods were very long). Its subsequent product is a 400,000-ton dimethyl ether plant.
XinAo truly achieved success on the first attempt at feeding the material! I’m not quite sure about the details; perhaps a colleague from SNOW Energy could explain it?
It seems that during the first feed, the slurry circulation valve was not opened, which caused the pressure in the slurry pump hose to reach 17 MPa and led to its rupture!
