Hello, everyone. I’d like to hear from those of you who know anything about companies that have installed Shell gasification furnaces (for synthetic ammonia) in the past two years. Please share any information you have. Thank you!

For the devices that have already been introduced, efforts to localize their components should be accelerated ; Strengthen technical exchanges and intellectual property protection. This proposal was put forward in response to the fact that of the 23 Shell gasification units introduced by domestic enterprises since 2001, only half have been tested or put into operation, and their performance does not meet expectations. Gasification technology is one of the key technologies for the clean and efficient utilization of coal, and it is also the cornerstone technology for the development of coal chemical industry. According to the association, among the Shell gasification units introduced in China, 12 such units belonging to 11 companies including Hubei Shuanghuan, Sinopec, and Liuzhou Chemical have been put into trial operation or full operation, but they have all encountered various problems such as unstable performance. Four companies, including Tianjin Alkali Plant of Tianjin Bohai Chemical Group and Datang International, also plan to start operations between August and October this year ; Four companies, including Hebi Coal and Electricity Responsibility Co., Ltd. and Datong Coal Mine Group, are carrying out the engineering design, with commissioning expected in 2011. So it’s unlikely that any companies will join Shell in the short term; the companies that joined recently have already been introduced for your reference.
There won’t be any large-scale Shell furnaces launched in the near future; Shell furnaces are having a hard time in China at the moment. If any do exist, they are likely to be small-scale experimental furnaces, possibly with an improved quenching process, and certainly not for ammonia synthesis
Yes, it’s too difficult to get by; I hope things will improve soon
Agree with the second floor’s opinion; only by consuming and digesting it can one gain strength.
Shell’s gasification technology has a good concept, but it is difficult to control the operating conditions, and long-term operation is rather challenging to achieve
No company seems to be in urgent need of shell’s gasification workers these days; the utilization rate is so low, and there have been several documents issued calling for measures to control this situation. It’s better to look for other job opportunities
