(Shanghai, November 12) Recently, the gasification unit of the 1.8 million tons per year integrated demonstration project for the clean utilization of high-sulfur coal for oil, chemicals, and heat production in Shanxi Lu’an, which was undertaken under EPC contracting by Huisheng Engineering, was awarded the 2018 Quality Project in the Chemical Industry. This award was given based on various factors such as its status as the world’s largest commercially operational gasification unit, its high level of technological innovation, excellent project quality, and the significant challenges involved in its implementation. On September 26, 2018, the project achieved full-load operation of all four gasification units and two production lines throughout the entire process, with a daily output of over 3,000 tons of qualified oil products. It has thus become the gasification facility with the highest coal consumption, greatest gas production, best carbon conversion rate, and optimal operational efficiency both domestically and internationally. The project includes 4 gasification furnaces; the total height of the framework is 126 meters. The maximum daily coal feeding capacity for each furnace is 3,200 tons, making them the largest commercially operational gasification furnaces of their kind both domestically and internationally. Construction began in August 2013; on December 22, 2016, the project was completed. On September 22, 2017, qualified synthetic gas was successfully produced, and by December 31 of the same year, oil products were also manufactured successfully, achieving an excellent result in terms of a coal gasification project that was able to produce qualified products from the first batch of feedstock used
During the project implementation, Huisheng Engineering’s coal chemical industry experts and engineering design team had a thorough understanding of the core technologies; they carried out engineering optimizations for process systems such as the ash removal system and ash water treatment, and achieved the localization of key equipment like gasifiers as well as critical instruments such as oxygen valves； Modular installation techniques were fully utilized throughout the construction process to improve project quality and reduce safety risks; a total of 12 million safe man-hours were invested in this process ； Through systematic planning and organization of scientific projects, as well as strict management of quality and safety, high-standard delivery of the installations was achieved ； Professional driving technology services help ensure optimal device operation. Huisheng Engineering’s technical capabilities and its ability to manage large, complex projects have won high recognition from the project owner as well as full support from all subcontractors. Zhang Xiaofeng, project manager at Huisheng Engineering, said, “Huisheng Engineering is extremely grateful for the trust placed in us by the local authorities and the owner during the project execution, as well as the support provided to us by all the contractors.” Luan Project Team leveraged the resources of its headquarters, making full use of its excellent design capabilities as well as extensive experience in project execution and management. By taking advantage of its technical strengths, it overcame the challenges posed by tight deadlines, heavy workload, limited space, and long construction periods associated with multi-level construction activities. It successfully completed the project construction tasks in a safe and efficient manner, contributing to the successful completion of the gasification unit’s construction and operational setup. ”
Congratulations to Huisheng, and congratulations to Manager Zhang Xiaofeng.
Huisheng’s entire team is quite good; they are able to take the lead in large-scale projects
They were under too much pressure, so they basically went abroad to do EPC work.
In domestic projects, it’s still the boss’s mindset that prevails – cost is the top priority, so low prices are sought; abroad, things are more competitive
Congratulations! This relates to AP operations, with the use of domestic key equipment; it seems that the cost for EPC isn’t high
