[Haichuan Chemical Salary News] Dongfang Boiler has manufactured the largest Lurgi-type methanol synthesis reactor in China

Thread Content

Recently, the largest Lurgi-type methanol synthesis reactor in China was manufactured at the auxiliary equipment container workshop of Dongfang Boiler’s Deyang production facility, and was successfully loaded onto a vehicle for delivery to the customer’s site. The methanol synthesis reactor is one of the most important devices in coal chemical plants. The Jingmen methanol synthesis reactor manufactured this time has a diameter of 4.2 meters, a length of 15.4 meters, and a total weight of 293 tons. This product has high design requirements, a complex manufacturing process, and is extremely difficult to produce; currently, only a few companies in China have attempted to manufacture such products. Through the joint efforts of all employees in the company, the manufacturing process for this product resulted in successful assembly on the first attempt, successful hydraulic testing on the first try, and successful helium testing on the first try. As a result, the product was delivered on schedule, earning full recognition from the customers. The successful manufacturing and shipment of this product have further expanded the range of Dongguo’s container products, and have provided valuable experience for Dongfang Boiler’s subsequent production of methanol synthesis towers. The total investment in the coal-based hydrogen comprehensive utilization project, which is part of the oil product upgrading and renovation project at Jingmen Petrochemical carried out by Jingmen Yingde Gas Co., Ltd., is approximately 3 billion yuan. This project provides industrial gases, liquids, and specialized services such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, syngas, liquid ammonia, and methanol to the projects associated with the oil product upgrading and renovation at Jingmen Petrochemical as well as to other enterprises in the industrial park. Using coal as raw material, the project employs the water-cooled wall Tsinghua furnace developed by Beijing Yingde Qingda Technology Co., Ltd., and through sulfur-resistant shift reaction, low-temperature methanol washing, liquid nitrogen washing, and pressure swing adsorption, it produces high-purity hydrogen and syngas of qualified quality. After being pressurized, the syngas is used in ammonia synthesis and methanol synthesis to produce high-quality methanol and liquid ammonia.
